Hercules Gomez

Who was the starting nine at the World Cup for Morocco?

From Morocco?

I can't remember.

There you go.

You don't need him to be that man.

Okay.

You need this team to defend like crazy.

You need this team to be pragmatic.

You need this team to be opportunistic.

You need them to play to their strengths, which are in transition, to have very special players in tight spaces and moments of speed, and to have a player who takes his chances like a Faller and Balogun.

Will Faller and Balogun be in contention for the Golden Boot at the World Cup?

I guarantee you he won't.

No, but he doesn't need to be to be an effective player.

Now, I don't want to get into the group, but it tells you something when the Australian coach is cheering, he's celebrating that they drew that group, okay?

As far as what Shaq mentioned about the semifinals, while I agree there is a part of the fan base that is diluted enough to believe that is a possibility, essentially this quarterfinal is the old semifinal because you have now more games and more phases

If you would before, okay, look at Morocco.

I just mentioned Morocco.

Morocco, their group, very difficult group, I thought.

Canada, they won World Cup qualifying the cycle in CONCACAF.

Croatia, World Cup runner-up.
