What I mean is, you can't condone what the Senegalese players did, but it may have just effectively won them the tournament.

What, takes an age to actually take it after numerous failed run ups and then manages to smack it into his own face?

The bit where he says that panenkas are “statistically similar to any other kind of penalty” and that the sample size is small also seems like useful context, no? I genuinely want to know the answer to this!

You’ve done so much WUMming on here I’ve had genuine trouble working out when you’re trying to behave. Maybe best playing fair for a while?

Anyway, back to the game.

Morocco looked beaten before the goal went in. Extra time was all Senegal.

Diaz probably wishes he'd stuck with Spain

We did, it was a bit later than this year's tournament. I think they left for it after the FA Cup 4th round (which was played earlier than usual at the beginning of January due to Man United playing in the club world cup)

Didn’t watch the game but saw plenty of footage of the ball boys trying to steal Edouard Mendy’s towel during the match. Wtf?
