Morocco got what they deserved from that game: nothing.

I appreciate that compared to France they are more limited but at least go down fighting, and not with a tame whimper.

I think the half time analysis of they were playing for penalties isn’t far off the mark.
Understandable but poor from a neutral spectator point of view.

Can't argue with the result.

Morocco just weren't good enough but they did have a go. Between half time and the first goal Morocco did has some significant attacking action. However the free kick from the handball summed it up. Possibly the worst free kick shot I can remember tonight.

Quansah two game ban for the red. Very harsh, red and a standard 1 game ban is fair but his leg clearly rolled over the ball causing the high foot, no way was it malicious.

Kane, Rice and Bellingham all on a yellow is a worry, particularly with Clement Turpin as our ref. He is good but he does like to dish out cards to establish his authority.

It doesn't matter if it was malicious, he went flying in with no control, it was a potential leg-breaker. Going over the ball is how Shawcross snapped Ramsey's leg in half. I've got no time for "not that sort of player" and "didn't mean it" talk, anyone that launches in like that deserves the ban.
