HanoiVillan 14,320 Report post Posted May 31, 2018 Well, I'm expecting Morocco to win this group comfortably. Their flag is a design classic, with a centrally-located green star on a red background. It's simple, and most importantly reversible. This makes it better than Iran's flag, the stylised writing on which renders the flag non-reversible (though it does have a solid tricolour combination). Spain and Portugal will very much bring up the rear, with fussy royal insignia, though Spain will win the head-to-head match as the red-yellow combination is easier on the eyes than Portugal's blocks-of-red-and-green effort. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sne 13,641 Report post Posted June 13, 2018 With Spain manager Lopetegui signing for Real Madrid for next season there are now rumors of him getting sacked before their first game against Portugal on Friday Can't see that happening, but it must be a bit strained between him and the Barca and Atletico players in the squad.

The 2026 World Cup will be held in the United States, Canada and Mexico after their joint bid beat Morocco's proposal to host it. The 'United 2026' bid was selected by Fifa member nations, winning 134 votes compared to 65 for Morocco.

Czechlad 3,433 Report post Posted June 15, 2018 Morocco actually has a decent team, but I don't think they can compete with Spain or Portugal. It's a shame because this group basically has 2 clear winners. I know things can change, but I don't think that will happen this world cup. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
