Ar-Rayyan - Luka Modric laced up his shoes in training with a pensive smile - but how often does he still put them on?
This anxious question is causing much more discussion in Croatia than the prospects of success against Morocco.
The game for third place at the World Cup in Qatar could be the last match in the jersey of the "Fiery" for the world footballer of 2018.
The 37-year-old did not take part in these speculations after the bursting of the final dream.
It was "not the right time to talk about it," said the midfield strategist with the fine foot.
Will Luka Modric make his last game for Croatia?
A very big one is considering resigning
A decision on his future is expected to be made after Saturday's game against Morocco (4pm/TV info on the game here) at the Khalifa International Stadium in Ar-Rayyan.
"I'll talk to him about it after the game," said coach Zlatko Dalic: "Of course I want him to be at the 2024 European Championship.
When Luka bids farewell to the national team, it will be unfortunate for all fans around the world.
It will be difficult for me too.
But of course that is his decision.”
After the semi-final defeat against Argentina (0:3), Dalic announced that he would also take the Croatians to Germany for the EURO - preferably with Modric.
Because the fulfillment of the dream of a big title seems much more likely with the little magician from Real Madrid (contract until the end of the season).

But first the Croatians want to say goodbye to Qatar with a medal.
"The match on Saturday is a big final for us, not a small one," emphasized Dalic: "It would be a huge thing if we got bronze here."
