Former Celta football player Alexander Mostovoy noted that he expected a bad game for the Spanish national team in the 1/8 finals against the Moroccan team at the World Cup in Qatar.
The meeting was held at the stadium “Education City” in Doha. In regular and extra time, the teams did not score goals, and in the penalty shoot-out, the Moroccans won with a score of 3:0.
– I expected the Spaniards to play so badly in the 1/8 finals. Even during the match with the German national team, problems were visible, the Spaniards “rebounded” from the Germans. Then I said that today in regular time there would most likely be a draw, and then they could score. Here you are, I justified everything with my examples.
It’s good that it came to a penalty. During the game, the Moroccan went one on one and could score. It was impossible for the Spaniards to continue playing the game “you to me, I to you”, this is no longer the same tiki-taka that we saw before. The Moroccan national team defended well, calmly knocked out their balls and ran into counterattacks, they used this.
The Spaniards beat the penalty shootout in the same way as they played. The blows were barely, boom boom, a feeling that they did not have enough strength. Even in the match with Germany, he said that Spain lacks athleticism, arrogance, strength. Even today, when the Moroccans went to fight, the Spaniards flew away from them. I also do not understand what they find in Pedri, they have Busquets, which performs its functions. Just awful.
One of my favorites took off. Now I will root for France, Argentina, Brazil and Portugal. I will single out the Brazilians and the French from this list, but they can only meet in the final, – Metaratings.ru quotes Mostovoy.

Roma’s Ukrainian striker Artem Dovbik According to Il Tempo, he will have to undergo surgery.
It turned out that the injury the 28-year-old striker received in the match against Lecce in the 19th round of the Italian Serie A was more serious than expected. After new tests, Roma and the player decided to undergo surgery to remove the musculotendinous lesion on the left thigh.
Therefore, Dovbik will probably not be able to help the Ukrainian national team in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers. The striker is unlikely to recover for the match against the Swedish national team on March 26.
Dovbik was injured in the match between Lecce and Roma in the 19th round of Serie A on January 6. Artem scored in the 71st minute, setting the final score of the match (2:0), and left the field due to injury in the 86th minute.
Artem played 13 matches for Wolves in the Italian Championship this season, scoring 3 goals and making 1 assist.

Former coach of the Ukrainian national team Jozsef Szabo Meta.ua has exclusively chosen the version of the three best Ukrainian football players of this season for its website.
“In the first row, Ilya Zabarny is almost out of the competition,” Sabo said. – As far as I remember, there has been no regression in the game yet. Yes, the defender had unimpressive tackles, but these were isolated cases. But he’s only 23 years old. The contract with Paris Saint-Germain shows that this football player is currently one of the best in Europe. And do not forget that at that age he played 55 matches for the Ukrainian national team.
I will give second place to Ruslan Malinovsky, who seems to have found a second youth after being injured. This guy’s head is clear, making great passes is not difficult for a midfielder. Largely thanks to Malinovsky’s effective play, the Ukrainian national team managed to qualify for the play-offs in the 2026 World Cup qualifying tournament.
The third will be Everton’s left back Vitaly Mikolenko. He is a consistent starter for his team. And no matter what position the team is in, the English league is still the strongest league in Europe. He is an irreplaceable football player in the national team.
