• “Many years from now a kid today will have grown up and say, ‘I fell in love with this game because of this Morocco team.” – Alexi Lalas on Morocco’s dream World Cup in Qatar WATCH
• “When you have one of your main attacking players [France’s Antoine Griezmann] – a player who you expect to be creative in the final third – to have him sitting back in the back four, heading balls out to clear, and then getting up the field, and then running and pressuring the other center-backs, that’s what you need from your star player, from your player that’s the most important on your team. You need that to win football games and he understands that.” – DaMarcus Beasley explains why everyone in France wants to play with Antoine Griezmann on World Cup NOW WATCH

• “The biggest moments – that’s what defines games. That’s what defined the semifinals and that’s what’s going to define the final – who steps up in those biggest moments. We saw the influence that Mbappé could have today, and we saw the influence that Messi had throughout the course of the 90 minutes, and I think that’s where these games can be won and lost.” – Maurice Edu explains why smallest moment can make biggest impact at the World Cup on FIFA World Cup TODAY
