Gab Marcotti and Julien Laurens (The Gab & Juls Show) discuss Spain’s penalty defeat to Morocco and ask why Luis Enrique only selected three players to take penalties. The guys also ask why Sergio Busquets was one of them, considering he has rarely taken one in his career.

  1. Style of play is not poor but tiki taka requires special suparstars look at first two year of pep at city very average but after tons of spending now they are looking good but unfortunately in national team you can’t afford that

  2. A player like Thiago, whose won the league and also a CL would’ve been someone you would need in Worldcup.

    I mean c’mon, he would’ve been someone who could benefit you offensively compared to busquets.

    Thiago would’ve definitely made a difference if he played against Morocco.

  3. Spain doesn't have the diversity of talent to challenge for the top titles, they might hav won with the same stock of players in the past but that group was special, Luis Enrique overachieved with this Spain side.

  4. What you miss, is Spain didn't have the better ingredients. Morocco did. They let spain play the way spain want and still fail at it because morocco controlled the game with tremendous players.

  5. I'll be honest,spain had actual chances to win this just by some few adjustment and pick ups from the bench,morocoo has players who were specificly trained for this kind of match.
    If you didnt notice hard enough,morocoo was winning from the 90+ min,they litterely beated up spain in mind games by making them more nervous,lowering their confidence…everyone know spain are weak to penalties which stressed them out even more,spain could've won,but morocoo was controlling the match just by heavy defense which killed their oppenement mentally.

  6. I like the fact how they always look down at us except for the French dude (Love France). The other side has better players (hahahahahaha). Honestly, when did Spain ever have superstar players except for Raul? The current Moroccan team is full of stars. They're more creative and have the MAGIC. Onto the Semi we go. Dima Maghreb.

  7. Better ingredients? Player per player they're almost even…bar one or two players, Morocco has a great team….did they NOT watch when they played against Belgium and Croatia??? Please these Europeans are ridiculously biased.

  8. If u gonna be playing bouquets and leaving Sergio Ramos out , Spain went to participate not to win , Iago Aspas is better than any striker in that squad and they left him , that’s just 2 among several mistakes , well they can go be loyal to each other from home 🤣🤣🤣.

  9. There is a very fine line between being tactical genius and being tactically sound n then arrogance taking over…Spain has faced the Concequense of Luis Enrique's arrogance n stubborness…..
    A DMF named Rodri who is in his prime and is a week in week out starter in World's Best Club team Man City is made to play CB which he has never played before….. So a worn out DMF like Busquets who plays for a Europa League team…..
    A RB who is a 5 time UCL, 3 time La Liga winner Dani Carvahal is on the bench so that Marcos Lorrente who not even a natural RB plays there…..
    A team like Brazil can drop an in form player like Firmino so dat they can have a leader in form of Dani Alves in dressing room…but u can't bring ur top leader who is an in form Right footed legendary CB named Sergeo Ramos along with you……..
    You are okey to start with a proper left footed winger as your CF but you can't take Igo Aspas who has been scoring for fun in La liga…..

    This shows dat this guys philosiphy n arrogance was bigger than the national teams intrest..

    Just winning 1 UCL with MSN in ur front line does not make u gr8 Mr. Enrique, its the consistency over prolonged period…..
    Many with moments of magic have come n gone in football….but the ones who are the biggest names right now n have been in the past had it prolonged…..
    He sinked this Spanish ship bcz of his arrogance…..n to be frank, other than 7-0 thumping of Costa Rica…Spain Just Scored 2 goals in 3 matches…in which they almost lost to Germany…..Lost to Japan…and got Knocked out by Morocco….at least had Germany gotten out of group they might have given us a treat…

  10. Spanish they r playing like la Corrida torrero just domination in the stadium with no absolutely no target in head, penalties? no team would win Morocco if they reach penalties bc the Moroccan goal keeper is from naother planet forget it.

  11. This marcoti guy is a special one. He should host some culinary show or something if he wants to talk about couscous and other dishes. Weak analysis and a bunch of jabroni

  12. The fact that you are still underestimating Morocco, saying we have the "Crappy ingredients", I think that's what's keeping us going forward in this tournament. Please continue underestimating Morocco.
    After every Morocco game, your crappy ESPN analysts only analyze why the opponent lost and how they could have won. But never say why Morocco was the better side.

    I have a feeling that the only team that took us seriously is Croatia, Zlatko Dalic knew Morocco will be the toughest opponent hence we ended the game 0-0. Respect to Hrvatska

  13. You guys talking as If Morocco won because Spain was just weak. The fact now is that 🇲🇦Morocco was lethal strategically and did their homework throughly
    And deserved the win that was taken from them in Russia 2018 when the Var helped Spain equalize ! Bella. ciaooo Spain, Morocco ruled this game and won by merit !
