Croatia and Morocco are playing this afternoon (4:00 p.m., World Goal) for third place in the Qatar 2022 World Cup. Luka Modric's team was one step away from repeating the Russia 2018 final, beaten in the semifinals by Leo Messi's Argentina, and seeks to hang the second World Cup bronze in its history after the one achieved in France 1998. His rival is the tournament's revelation team, the first African country to reach the semifinals of a World Cup.
Morocco has made history in Qatar defending a style in which possession has taken a backseat and in which the most important thing has been the block.
With several accumulated casualties, Walid Regragui's men are looking to say goodbye to a World Cup with a medal around their neck for the first time in their history.

Modric only needed to score against Morocco
ramon besa
This match will be the repetition of the one that the two teams played in their debut at the World Cup.
Croatia and Morocco shared a group in the first phase and opened with a face-to-face that ended goalless but made clear the competitive capacity of the two teams.
Here, the chronicle of Ramon Besa.

similar dynamics
Morocco and Croatia reached the semifinals basing their game on the effectiveness up front and a great solidity at the back to resist the attacks of more powerful rivals.
However, both faltered in the run-up to the final and conceded as many goals as they had conceded up to that point.

breaking ceilings
Morocco has already made history in Qatar.
The first African team to break into the top four in the world now has to become the first to get a World Cup metal.
Regragui's men arrive with several important casualties but we have already seen in this tournament how faith can drive this team.

a genius says goodbye
Luka Modric will play his last game in the World Cups looking to hang a medal again.
In Russia 2018 he was silver and today he could be bronze.
The protagonist of Croatia's greatest successes in the history of football will start, of course, from the starting eleven.
At 37 years old, the 10 will offer one last show in the World Cup, the tournament that elevated him in 2018 until he reached the Ballon d'Or.
