Morocco's class win, Paraguay's hideous team and strange referees: the hottest moments...

We summarize the results of the first game day of the 1/8 finals of the current World Cup. Canada attacked, Morocco scored. Isn't everything so clear? It seemed to many that Canada should have gained an advantage in the score at the end of the first half. But did the Canadians create any extraordinary moments? They just did their standard kick-off. Active play on the flanks, loading the ball into someone else's penalty area. Yes, the Moroccans probably expected a slightly slower pace, but overall they kept their cool. With the exception of Khalkhal. He was really nervous. Sometimes he gave the most uncomfortable passes, then he fouled in simple episodes. It is surprising that he finished this match at all, because, having received a warning, he constantly went to talk to the referee. In the second half, the game could have followed the same scenario, but two things happened. Morocco scored the first. Second, the coaching staff held a meaningful conversation and forced the team to move at a higher pace. The Moroccans are stronger than Canada, they just didn't play their game in the first half. Saibari sent "congratulations" to the Fantasy players Morocco's level of play in the first half can hardly be attributed to Saibari's substitution, but his ability to impose a fight was lacking. This guy was in almost every fifth Fantasy player on the official FIFA website. Michael Oliver did not surprise When it seems that something strange is happening on the field, you don't think so. It's just that the game is refereed by Michael Oliver. Fortunately, no mistakes this time, but who needed this parade of yellow cards in the first half? There are many fouls like Khalchal's in this tournament, and they usually don't give a warning for it. A Hakimi vs. Larey moment? To begin with, it was possible to limit oneself to a strict conversation. This World Cup is exactly what I like about the fact that the teams are allowed to fight, but Michael Oliver, as always, is on his wave. It is also always stable, but with a plus sign of Rexona. Rexona - never cheat. Show in the match Paraguay - France Did you like the Cape Verde national team? The Africans were eliminated in 1/16, but they will be remembered for a long time. Paraguay reached the round of 16, knocking out Morocco on the way, but they will try to forget it as soon as possible. Of course, there will be those who will say that any means are possible for the sake of results. But it was hard to watch. In addition, even in Paraguay, many did not support the tactics of Gustavo Alfaro. After France's goal, it suddenly turned out that the French are ready to accept this challenge: pauses, loitering on the lawn, provocations of the opponent. In general, it does not beautify football, but in this particular case it was art. Mbappe's comment is very apt: "If we have to get our hands dirty in the shit, we will do it. They thought we would go out on the field in tuxedos, show beautiful feints and play "walls". But we also know how to fight hard, dirty. Today we showed it - we won, and even in this kind of football we were stronger than them." Ilgiz Tantashev, where are the yellow cards? Another strange match from the referee. The Paraguayans played dirty, flew in tackles, constantly picked on the French in non-game episodes, but in the end, Paraguay did not receive a single yellow card, and France received three. How it happened is difficult to explain. It is clear that a referee from Uzbekistan, with all due respect to this country, rarely has to officiate matches with so many stars and such a level of tension. But how did none of the Paraguayans receive a yellow card? Matias Galarsa is the personification of this Paraguay national team We don't know where the VAR was, but this guy was just running and hitting the French with his hands. It seems that he did not plan to play football at all. He constantly provoked opponents and acted rudely. Maybe he should try the UFC? Goal of the day We choose the first goal of the Moroccans. A cunning free kick that determined the winner of the match. Hero of the day Azzedine Unahi had a strong match, but we will still highlight Braim Diaz. The midfielder of the Moroccan national team was in a certain psychological hole after the miss in the final of the Africa Cup of Nations and did not show his maximum in the national team. However, the match against Canada was a glimpse of his best level of play. We hope this is not the last time. Disappointment of the day No records are mentioned in this material. Save the day Orlando Hill's save from Manu Kone's shot. It was really cool. The best that the Paraguayans showed. The moment of the day Follow the World Cup matches on media!
