Like I mentioned in an earlier post, I'm surprised they don't make it easier on themselves and just send it down the middle. Much easier to execute and the GK is going to be thinking which corner to dive to anyway.

The French keeper -- Hugo Lloris -- is Harry Kane's teammate at Tottenham Hotspur. Reportedly, they know how each other plays quite well, so it is tough for both of them in the PK.
Ultimately, Kane was under more pressure to deliver because their team was already down 1 goal at the time.
Personally, I think it would have made more sense to have another English player take the shot, since Kane had already done the deed once earlier in the 2nd half. Of course I understand that as the skipper and most experienced player on the team, there is every legitimate reason for Kane to take the PK again.
I am dejected that England lost the game, esp through the way it was lost. But alas, I won my bet on the game LOL~

What an intense game...
Morocco has nothing to be ashamed of, but if this game has proven anything, it is that they (Morocco) still lacks execution and finish when the clutch moments present themselves. And unfortunately for them, that's the difference between the Moroccan and the French team -- France seized the opportunities and successfully converted them into goals, whereas Morocco failed to do so.
For the next game, I'd have to say France looks to be the more likely team to win the champion title -- there is just so much more depth in their players, and they are playing really well as a whole. On the other hand, I really, really want to see Messi leaving the world stage on a high note.

France is just too strong, stacked with talent. With Morocco gone, France is as close to an African team as you can get, so I'm cheering for them.
I'm conflicted because it would be nice to see Messi go out as a champ.

Congrats to Messi and Argentina!
Tough loss for France.
Mbappe played unreal. Big props to him.
Scoring a hat trick and still losing in the World Cup Final for him and his team mates.
A classic World Cup Final. -too bad that the game was decided on penalty kicks.
