70% - ๐ฒ๐ฆ Morocco's possession against the Netherlands was the highest by an African team in a FIFA World Cup KO match on record (since 1966).
In matches with no red cards, it was also the most on record by an African team vs. a European nation.
Superiority.
Netherlands went from 50% possession in first half to 21% second halfโฆ to 18% and 17% in extra time.
Itโs a far cry from Total Footballโฆ and with players like Gravenberch and De Jong in midfield, Iโm not sure why the Dutch were acting that inferior for such a large spell.

๐ฃ๏ธ Julian Nagelsmann says he won't resign following Germany's World Cup exit. "I am not someone who runs away. This is not the first time this has happened, and there are some things about today that need to be changed. But if the DFB wants me to continue I am going to continue.
"I know the mechanics of football. I know how the industry works. I know a lot of people will want me to leave, but I would love to continue if the DFB wants me to."
๐จ John Terry responds to Enzo Marescaโs letter:
โI read every word of Enzoโs letter, and all I saw were excuses. You donโt walk away from Chelsea halfway through a season because Manchester City called. Thatโs not a โdifficult decisionโ thatโs choosing your own career over the club that trusted you and picked you up from Championship.
You say Chelsea treated you well, yet you left the players, fans and staff to deal with the mess. Thatโs sneaky behaviour, and no apology changes that. If you can abandon Chelsea for Manchester City today, donโt be surprised if you abandon Manchester City for Real Madrid tomorrow. Loyalty isnโt something you write in a farewell letter itโs something you prove with your actions.โ
