At the moment? Moroccan fans whistling when Spain is in possession.
ETA: and now penalties. The whistling will be even louder when Spain kicks.

My god I don’t care too much who will win and I’m nervous as hell.
Of course I’m rooting for Morocco now because it would be so bitter for them to lose after such an epic defensive battle and all the effort they invested.
Spain looked for most of the second half like they were playing to get to penalties and now they’re about to get screwed by it. Holy shit. Too bad Korea’s out - my dream final would still be viable.
Bolo is a monster today! Not only in the penalties, but for the whole game.
Biggest World Cup Upset ever?
I’m kind of glad that Morocco advanced and the quarterfinals will not be an exclusive Euopean/Southern American affair as usual.
The biggest I remember, but wasn’t there a North Korean win over Italy in England 1966?
ETA2:
Yep, I remembered correctly:
ETA: Algeria’s 2-1 over Germany in Spain 1982 comes to mind, too. But that was only in the group stage (and we know what happened after that game, it was already referenced twice in this thread).
That’s a boost for Portugal or Switzerland who play Morocco for a spot in a World Cup semi-final. Not that Morocco will be easy opponents.
Bring back the vuvuzelas!
Spain: “hold my beer”
I think I called it earlier in this thread (not that most of those watching didn’t say the same thing):
Excellent game by Morocco, Spain had their chances (but so did the Moroccans) and their Keeper was outstanding all day.
Now can the Swiss upset the Portuguese and cause and complete Iberian disaster?
I’d love to see a final without Europeans, but that seems a long shot. Maybe if England beats France, and Morocco advances and beats England. I don’t think Morocco can beat France.
Bono! The other one.
I watched the entire match on a flight, including extra minutes, which were winding down as I exited the aircraft. I only just now got home and saw the score, and I’m delighted to see Morocco has won. Partially the schadenfreude of watching a giant exit now that my teams are out, partially that I like Mazraoui, and partially that I like seeing someone from Africa keep rolling on in the tournament.
Now, let’s go Switzerland. We’ll see how long CR7 is kept on the bench for this one.
Sorry . So the non-obnoxious Bono?
Precisely.
Yann Sommer plays for my club and has been one of the best keepers of the Bundesliga for years, but he didn’t look good there.
BO kNOws goalkeeping!
And Pepe, the old man scores! What is this, also his fifth world cup like Ronaldo’s? He’s been there forever.
19 saves against Bayern in one match, but here he looks iffy.
