Morocco are standing off France far too much and need to be stronger in the challenge.

Put the ball on the spot properly, run up, and kick the ball normally.

Mad how much players are overthinking penalties these days.

Why did that even go to VAR?

Blatant penno, the defender didn't even contest it.

Awful tackle, awful penalty and not much of a save. Shite all round.

Morocco needs to move the game 10, 20 yards up the pitch

The Moroccan keeper really has the Edge when it comes to penalties

Fair, but he never looked like making that tackle. Surely better to stay on your feet, pressure the shot and hope the keeper makes the save.

Mind you, worked out somehow for them.

The stutter pen is just bizarre. If the keepers stays still (as most do) then all it does is make things harder.

If you do a slow penalty where you basically walk up to the ball and decide at the last instance (Ndiaye for us, Neymar the other night against Norway) when at that the keeper has to dive and you're good enough to that then fine but these players seem to essentially be giving themselves a 2 yard run up with no advantage from doing that.

Yeah and tbf the Moroccan keeper has always been big time for these so just try and close down the angle and back him to save if needed

What are you actually gaining by hanging the ball hang over where it’s supposed to be by a millimetre.

Fucking stop it.
