That second yellow-red card was BS. I'm glad the game didn't turn on that.

Morocco not ready to stop being awesome. Having also beaten Spain, Morocco scores biggest win over the Iberian Peninsula since the 8th Century.

Almost all of the last 25 minutes. Morocco has given up one ONE goal in the whole World Cup- an own goal against Canada. Pretty damned impressive.

That red card was bullshit especially with 6 minutes left in stoppage time.

The thing is so many Euro teams and England have adopted African players for their teams complete with citizenship.
