But he's known for these kind of maverick, crazy decisions, and everybody's been doubting him for some time.

So hence why the tide has really turned.

Yeah, they look great.

They look almost unstoppable.

I'm struggling to remember a team at a World Cup that has looked like such clear favourites throughout, really.

Since their first game against Senegal, they've looked like the best team.

And if they go on to win it, as we expect they will, then I'm not sure the last time that would have happened, really, where there's been such an obvious best team and favourite throughout the tournament.

Yeah, they look unstoppable.

I was a little disappointed in Morocco today, I have to say.

But as we saw, you know, they started the game with two banks of, well, four or five, you know, trying to stop France fairly successfully.

And then the one time they started to venture forward is when they gave away the penalty two minutes later because Hakimi was caught out of position.

So how do you negate against that?

You know, the moment they stepped up and went out and tried to attack, France, I know they didn't score, but they got the penalty, so...

Yeah, another bad stutter penalty at the World Cup.

There have been quite a few.

As of July the 1st, I don't have the most updated stat, but as of July the 1st, six out of 11 stutter penalties have been missed in this World Cup, including Harry Kane against Croatia, Messi.

And yeah, Bono's got previous for this.

Raul Jimenez has only missed one penalty in the whole of his domestic club career, and that was against Bono in the Europa League quarter-finals for Wolves against Switzerland.

Again, a stutter penalty.

And again, quite similar to today in that he's very good at not blinking first.
