Penalties… always a lottery. Good on Morocco though, they deserved it.

Anyone else think extra time was painful to watch? Both teams just passing sideways.

Mason Young2026-06-30T04:37:27.000Z

nah you're right, but still better than the usual snoozefest.

Leo McKenzie2026-06-30T04:46:27.000Z

As if the Dutch were gonna win after that group stage performance…

Leo McKenzie2026-06-30T05:37:27.000Z

Couldn't agree more. That group was weak.

Mia Carter2026-06-30T05:11:27.000Z

Woke up to this. Great start to the afternoon.

James O’Brien2026-06-30T05:40:27.000Z

Can we talk about that missed header from the Netherlands? How do you miss from there?

Sky Murphy2026-06-30T06:21:27.000Z

but poor touch from the cross.
