No one could have predicted that these two teams would proceed to the World Cup semifinals, but today they square off to determine who takes 3rd spot in the tournament.
The steadiness of Croatia must be admired. After making it to the FIFA World Cup finals in 2018, they have again outperformed expectations to go to the semifinals this year, defeating odds-on favorite Brazil in the process.
The storied Real Madrid star, who is most likely playing in his final World Cup, will be glad for what he has earned with his country.
Josko Gvardiol & Lovro Majer, who are expected to carry the torch from players like Modric and Perisic, made their existence felt.
Morocco made competition history as the first African country to move to the semifinals. They will be pleased with how their team performed in the tournament, according to manager Walid Regragui.
Players like Sofyan Amrabat & Azzedine Ounahi will be in high demand now. Excellent first impressions were left by Achraf Hakimi, Bono, Hakim Ziyech, Sofiane Boufal, and Hakim Ziyech. More significantly, the celebrations and dedication of the Moroccans have made many people happy.
We predict a close victory for Croatia in this game.
