Thierry Henry pre match analysis of France v. Sweden
“France should win this, but they have to be clinical from the first minute. Sweden will sit deep, frustrate and wait for mistakes. Mbappé will terrorise their full-backs, but it’s the second and third goals that kill these games. Don’t let them hang around.”
Marco van Basten Netherlands Legend on the loss to Morocco.
"Absolute disgrace! This isn't the Oranje I bled for. We had the game in our hands with Gakpo's strike, then crumbled like a house of cards against 'street football' warriors. Morocco didn't just beat us — they humiliated Dutch football's soul on penalties. Koeman's tactics? Spineless. Van Dijk looked lost. If Cruyff were here, he'd be turning in his grave. The Atlas Lions exposed us — total collapse!"
Cody Gakpo, Netherlands – Scorer of the opening goal Post-match interview:
"It feels devastating right now. I thought we had control after my goal — it was an emotional one, especially with the fans behind us. We created chances and Bart [Verbruggen] made some incredible saves. But football can be cruel. They equalized right at the end, and then penalties... we just didn't execute well enough tonight. Credit to Morocco — they never stopped believing. We have to learn from this and come back stronger. This one hurts."
@_Somtochi Una dey muzz me for this app.
Someone played in the highest level of football in Germany, won the league with being their top scorer is telling you that 5 aside is harder but it is you who never played football at any level that is saying he knows nothing about football.
@IBLEEDUTDRED_1@PeakSxnti You need to understand logic.
Raya could make 2 saves and still not get a clean sheet. The same way Bruno could make this key passes and still not get an assist.
It goes both ways. If you still argue against this. Then I can't help you. I tried.
@IBLEEDUTDRED_1@PeakSxnti You are still making my point. Outfield players make assist count.
That's why in a match Bruno could still get 4 key passes, 2 big chance created and if the team did not convert, the assist will not count.
@RonaldoFWC@PeakSxnti You could still make this argument with Bruno. How many assist records did he have when we was playing with bums before Cunha, Mbuemo and Sesko came in?
