Finally, the tournament gets interesting. Reigning European champions Portugal go into the tournament with a squad that, frankly, shouldn't prove much of a threat late on. Although they said that 2 years ago. Spain meanwhile look to be amongst the favourites, with a more direct approach than in previous years and the likes of Asensio and Isco coming to the fore. Morocco have an interesting young squad with a few players currently doing well in Holland. But nobody cares about that because Herve Renard is their coach, and just look at him; Iran were unbeaten in qualifying and proved a stern defensive test for the likes of Argentina last time round. Don't expect much attacking threat however. 15 June 2018 Morocco - Iran 4pm 15 June 2018 Portugal - Spain 7pm 20 June 2018 Portugal - Morocco 1pm 20 June 2018 Iran - Spain 7pm 25 June 2018 Iran - Portugal Spain - Morocco 7pm

Tbf I was moreso thinking if this is how shit Spain look up against Tunisia's defensive unit, how fucking dire is our game going to be?

nowhere near as bad, we have pace to get in behind and a striker to hit
rodrigo was non-existent and spain are more than happy to play the game in front of the defence and wait for space

Have Spain actually sacked their coach two days before their first game? Embarrassing he took the Madrid job without talking to the Spain setup though.

The biggest part of the whole story was the revelation that the Spanish FA President is an ex-Hamilton defender.

I’d defend it too, it’s a really good musical.

looking forward to this game, not expecting anything from either of them and just hoping for an attacking game

Looks like we might be seeing a decent team here, Morocco ain’t fucking about.

Was easily the most fun half of football so far, Morocco started well but Iran came back into and started causing problems.

Second half was poor considering both teams really should be trying to win.
