FIFA World Cup 2026 - discussion etc

He sure looked more out in the open than Sally Field in The Flying Nun.

Wow Morocco ties it.

Unbelievable!

All ears if anyone can explain the strategy of Holland playing such a low press in their own half.

At this point in the game I think they’re counting on winning the shoot-out. Just running down the clock

Eta: boring AF.

I just got home. Did Morocco score in stoppage time?

Two of the first three penalties are off target. Wild!

Wow! I don’t know if I’ve seen a penalty saved and then kicked in by the keeper.

And the fourth gets stopped by the Dutch goalie only for it to squirt out of his hands and kicked in by his foot.

What is the percentage of goals scored on penalty kicks?

Wtf, 4 out of 8 off target now.

Man of the Match is…Goalpost!

Average is like 75% give or take.

Usually those other 25% are stopped by the keeper, though. It’s rare to see a penalty shot miss the goal completely.

And that’s it! Bad day for the Dutch and Deutsch.

I’ve never seen an own goal on a PK.

Dutch got out played. They should’ve tried playing a little offense tonight.

Is that scored as an own goal?

Shootouts aren’t really scored as such, I don’t think? If it was regulation, IMO, it would have been.

I think Morocco deserved to win but yikes. terrible penalty shots.

Morocco had more energy and better ball control.

It’s not really scored as anything - spot kicks are used to select a winner, but they’re not part of the match. Officially, this match ended in a 1-1 draw, but Morocco moves on to the next round.
