After losing against France moral was down, and they were surely not settled as they started this event and Croatia take good advantage of this all and win this match for the third spot which is good achievement for them

You clearly have no idea what you were writing though. Morocco was never the favorite though so top 4 is the best achievement that they could get and aside from that, there were alot of new players that start on the starting lineup despite that they were the subs in the previous game so yeah the coach gave them chances to play. It wasnt the same squad that beat Spain or Brazil though so yeah Croatia won the game

A bit disappointed today, morocco lost the third place to Croatia, I didn't get a chance to watch the game to know how their performance were, but the result of the match is really disappointing for me, after all the hard work and strength they've put into this game which brought them to the semi finals, it is only ideal that they could have at least stood at the third place since they couldn't make it to the finals, but still, they lost it.

Anyways, congratulations to Croatia for their win, we look forward to tomorrows match, Argentina and France, lets hope Messi does not disappoint his country and fans.

I have got what I wanted from the consolation game today. I was expecting Croatia to be the winner against Morocco after a competitive game. Morocco didn't have as many goal attempts as their opponent maybe but they still managed to keep the score at the level they would like. They were really quick about an answer to Gvardiol's goal.

However Orsic's marvelous goal to the right corner sealed the deal for Croatia. I think both of these teams deserve appreciations because of their big efforts so far. Especially Morocco have become the first team reaching the semi finals in Africa continent for the first time.
After losing against France moral was down, and they were surely not settled as they started this event and Croatia take good advantage of this all and win this match for the third spot which is good achievement for them because they deserve this win after having very good performance in this world cup even Morocco was also at the top of his game but still they need more experience for having better results in big games their this event was still one of the best for them because after many years we have team like this from Africa which done amazing stuff and beat few top rank teams in world hopefully they will keep this momentum, and we will be able to have them into next event as well with this same level performance.

It was actually closer than I thought.  Croatia is built to break down the defense of a team like Morocco.  Was thinking they were gonna win by 2 or 3 goals.  Overall good showing by both teams throughout the entire world cup well done.

Morocco were the only team this world cup that didn't conceded any goal till the semi-finals. They had pretty much strong defence until Saiss was there and once he was sidelined due to injury they started conceding. Morocco put up a great fight throughout the World Cup and really hoped they had something sweet in the end in return. Anyway they made us a fun tournament for us to watch.

Tomorrow Argentina vs France - predictions?
And I didn't think that Morocco could get this far in the World Cup they had several great matches and in the end they had to lose to Croatia tonight, maybe they were tired of their game which was always overshadowed by defeat but that's the fact Morocco was only able to get here for now.
But the many rumors about the Moroccan player are getting a lot of attention in this upcoming transfer market which will be interesting as it seems.

About the Final, there is a possibility that I will choose France. Cheesy

Ohh no matter what , can we please have Argentina vs France in final ? Grin Cause in this way, we are locked in for sure in a spectacular game from start to finish with most likely France winning it again which will be crazy! Last country who manage to defend the title was Brazil and it was quite a long time ago and France has the greatest chance right now to achieve what Italy and Brazil did.



Oho , it seems I was right and we are locked in for a spectacular game ladies and gents! I'm still on Frace side to win it all and having a back 2 back World Cup trophy and be on the same page with the greats like Italy and Brazil.

It seems that bookies favorites into this one are Argentina but I suppose this is  just because people are massively gambling in this game for Messi to lift trophy and so far Argentina has an overall odds of 2.75 and France goes 2.95 Shocked

Morocco strategy was defensive throughout the World Cup. It worked till quarter finals but not against teams like Frace and Croatia. Morocco will take with them lots of experience which will definitely help them in improving performance in upcoming matches. Morocco also has given a message to all Africans teams that we too can compete and win fifa worldcup.
Morocco deserve an accolade for making Africa proud, reaching a pedestrian that no African country has been able to get to in the history of world cup tournaments. Even though Morocco never clinge a third place against Croatia it doesn't change the fact that they have written their name in marble. At this stage of the world cup we have always had only the likes of South American and European countries but just like you rightly said, Morocco has open a centre stage for other African countries to aim at winning the world cup next time and not just as participant.

The fairy tale for Morocco has finally come to an end. They were finally beaten by their group stage counterpart Croatia by 2:1 . I had the opportunity to watch the game and I wonder how Morocco reached where they did in the World Cup.

I couldn’t really place the strength of the team because they seem to be average in many positions of the game, especially in the defense they were very poor. I don’t want to take anything away from what they have done so far but they had little luck I guess.

Yes, Morocco played pretty well in the second half where they were able to build a good attack but they couldn't score a single goal to equalize. croatia did well in this match they pressed from the first half, as I said earlier this match will be won by the team who goal first and it really came true. Luka Modric returned to present the 3rd place trophy for the Croatian people. He is truly a quite fantastic footballer with the skills he has and the best captain Croatia has ever had. but she is getting old and this is an interesting farewell for her.
Morocco seems to be the object object everyone's discussion and that's because, they were giving us the thrills we needed and I can't imagine anyone to have not hoped for more surprises from this African side but, Croatia qas were the journey did end for Morocco. I'll say, they approached this Croatian side more softly, they didn't find them to be as threatening a team as France and so, they didn't play half the game they played when they faced France. They ought to have played this match as though it was a finals and every match after the round of 16.

Which the game for the third place is over, I'll say, Morocco have done quite well for Africa and Africans. They've set another high for African football that, it doenst ends at the round of 16 or quarter finals and with proper team work, they could star there competitions. A proud moment for Africans still and Congratulations for Croatia in getting a medal in two consecutive world cups.

Congrats to Croatia, they really performed well today and they really deserved the bronze medal, the two countries performed well but unfortunately Morroco couldn't secure the third position, but to be honest I wanted Morroco to secure the third position because they haven't gotten to this level before and no Africa country have gotten to this stage before, I wanted Morroco to win but unfortunately they couldn't. Am really happy for Croatia congrat to them once again and I hope other African countries will perform well in the next world cup.
Croatia are one of the best country with good football performance. It's really a tough time for them as they fought for their place in the world but couldn't secure their position in the finals. They were in the finals in 2018 world cup and they did their best to reach the semi-finals now they sealed their third place position from Morocco. I'm so sad that Morocco are going home with nothing after an incredible performance in the world cup. They did deserve something but I guess it's not yet their time.
Before that, I would like to congratulate Croatia for winning 3rd place at the 2022 Qatar World Cup. And I also appreciate the struggle from Morocco, even though they lost in the bronze match, their struggle was extraordinary. This is not a failure, but this is the beginning of the achievements they will get in the future.
Yes, today Croatia really deserved to win this match, it looks like they are more prepared than Morocco and they are playing calmer in my opinion.
It doesn't feel like we will be at the end of the biggest football competition in the world, France vs Argentina will be the last match we will see.

Croatia played better and placed 3rd. Morocco conceded an early goal again, but they got over the shock quickly. After scoring with Dari, they balanced the match again. But at the end of the first half, Croatia regained control of the match when Orsic scored. They set the pace in the second half. Morocco had a few opportunities but didn't use them well.
A lot of people see the third place game as unnecessary, but I think finishing third is also important. Instead of saying we were eliminated in the semi-finals, they can proudly say that we came in 3rd place.

The difference in strategy in the semifinals and final actually made their results different.
Just try if they do defend and play a little safer maybe the results will be different.
But this can be a good lesson for them, especially now that this can be said to be the best achievement for Morocco and its players.
Even though they are in 4th place in the world cup this time, this will clearly elevate their position in FIFA and it is not impossible that the value of the players will also increase.

agree that the performance of the match earlier was good, reaching the semifinal rank position is very extraordinary. and agree with your words, this can be a spirit in the future world cup marocco can reach a high position again. and a lot of big lessons from tonight's match, which maybe next year marocco can look better

Based on the available information from the bookmakers, a draw would be the most logical result after 90 minutes of football. And then you can even think of a result like 0-0, but 1-1 is more obvious. In any case, probably a game in which both teams will start quietly and first see how it all stands. They will also not like to take unnecessary risks quickly. France has a lot of speed in the front with Mbappe and a real goal getter with Giroud.

Congratulations to Croatia for winning third place in the World Cup this time, I'm also actually sure about Croatia having a bigger chance to beat Morocco and win third place. But even so, I tried to choose something that was the opposite or something different from my personal prediction, so I chose Morocco to win the bet.
Regret is always there, but at least I can still accept it because this way is also a personal choice and not a compulsion from others.

Even though in the past few days I also predicted and believed that Croatia would certainly be able to continue to put pressure on Morocco and that really happened in this match.
Even in the second half, in fact, Croatia had already taken the lead, but Croatia still continued to put pressure on it. So even though Morocco still got a few opportunities in the second half, unfortunately, Morocco failed to convert these opportunities into an equalizing goal.

A country with a population of 3 million but with a silver medal finish in 2018 and a bronze medal in 2022 is definitely a very good thing. Congratulations to you and your Croatian friends by placing 3rd this time even though it was slightly less than the previous world cup but still this is a very good achievement.

Modric said in the interview just after the game that he will play for the national team in the final four of the UEFA Nations League. He said that since he was a part of the team that qualified for the final four, it makes sense to finish that competition too. I agree with him and I think that he will say goodbye to the national team after the UEFA Nations League.
Modric still has a lot to offer the Croatian team, he is always fit and ready to give his best for his country, his last world cup most likely but not his last dance with the National team. Modric is a maestro in their midfield and a life wire for them, to find another player in Croatia that will fill the void he will leave if he retires now will not be easy. He doesn't even play like he is 37 and should be retiring soon. Croatians will be happy hearing this knowing how important he has been helping them still get medals in competitions.

Morocco should really be congratulated. They have shown great performance despite being the smallest team in the World Cup. The performance they have shown has failed to show many big teams. Hopefully Morocco will play a few more World Cups and move to a much better place.
