Croatia vs Morocco playoff preview: World Cup 2022

Al Jazeera  

Neither team wanted to play this match but now that they are here, they have nothing to lose. Who: Croatia vs Morocco Croatia vs Morocco Where: Khalifa International Stadium Khalifa International Stadium When: December 17, 6pm December 17, 6pm FIFA ranking: Croatia, Morocco Croatia, Morocco Head to head: Played twice, Croatia winning once, one draw Played twice, Croatia winning once, one draw Last five matches: Croatia: LWWDW Morocco: LWWWW It is the end of the road for Croatia and Morocco at this World Cup. “Perhaps Morocco’s performance at this World Cup will be enough to persuade FIFA delegates to finally award the tournament itself to Morocco after several failed bids in the past. “Irrespective of Saturday’s result, the Moroccans will bring the noise and the passion that they have throughout the tournament and, in so doing, celebrate a team that has given the nation and North African region the most memorable month of its rich footballing history.” Morocco may have been the story of this World Cup but Croatia are no less deserving. “And while all eyes will be on Messi on Sunday evening to see whether he can finally lead Argentina to World Cup glory, Saturday’s match against Morocco affords Croatia’s own number 10 the opportunity to bow out with a victory rather than the pain of a semifinal defeat.” No one wants to be playing this game.
