The big question in this one isn’t which wingers Gareth Southgate will start, but how in the world will he try to stop Kylian Mbappe?
Unfortunately for Morocco and the many fans it has gained since the start of the World Cup, the Cinderella run is likely at its end. Getting past Croatia on penalties is one thing, but beating a Portugal side that is on fire is another. Portugal caught some lightning in a bottle by benching the petulant Cristiano Ronaldo and should continue to do so. Bruno Fernandes has been Portugal’s best player this tournament and should lead it to the semifinals.
Shots coming from anywhere in the attacking third, swarming midfield crashing forward in a wave behind the forward, they looked awesome. The fear is Morocco will try and play for penalties as it did versus Spain, and if it does fall behind, does it have the construct to get back into it? Sadly, I think the answer to that is no.Article contentEngland and France have only played three times in the last 10 years.
