FIFA World Cup 2026 - USA/Canada/Mexico (Part 3)

The Cruyff Turn
102

A real shame for Saibari there.

103

Thatā€™s a big loss for Morocco

104

I wonder if age, and occasion in life, factor into best World Cups?

For me, it might be Italia 90. I was a student and at the time was traveling in the summer in New England. Found some bar in Boston to watch the big game. Great memories. Well, until the penalty shoot out :joy:

Morocco seems to be able to channel more energy now, which is good. I was afraid I would have to report to @Flobs that he would be right, at least in this game.
Because it hasnā€™t been good, the crowd hasnā€™t roared much (for a reason) before now. This game has been sorely lacking in dynamite. Looks slightly more promising now though

Itā€™s Marokko in Norwegian, but more relevant to what you are talking about, it is Maroc in French

And languages in Morocco ? Arabic but most people speak French etc., So it is used instead of English, I suppose.

I mentioned in one of an earlier post. The country code is based on ISO 3166 country codes standard.

Look if you are not Iceland or at least Scandinavia donā€™t bother with that clapping thing as you just looked forced.

Like when City did the Poznan, the whole point was the underdog and that sports washing petrofunded cnuts are anything but.

There arenā€™t many people on the planet I despise more than that cunt Hakimi.

115

Iā€™d like him as our right back, mind.

Morocco probably wants those acronyms since it is what they would write if using latin letters, if not using Al-Maghrib. I doubt FA wants England to have the acronyms ANG.

117

Cā€™mon now Jaffodā€¦

Iā€™ve read your posts in the UK Politics threadā€¦ :wink:

Canada giving a decent account of themselves. I thought Morocco would be better than this. Long way to go yet, mind.
