Its not a surprise for me to see Morocco also lost the match for 3rd place in World Cup. They clearly outperformed their rivals until they lost to France. That sort of lifted magic around them and made them vulnerable team probably with a hit to their mentality, motivation and so on. I also congratulate Croatia, because they are sort of small nation (talking about their population) but they became football country indeed in last 10 years building one of greatest teams of Europe.

Yeah, we are a very small nation of three million people. And not only that. An interesting fact is that Croatia qualified for the six World Cups in it's history. On three of them they passed the group stage and all three times they managed to pass the group stage they won a medal (two bronze and one silver medal). And I really think that Gvardiol needs to be the best young player and the best defender of this World Cup. OK, maybe the best defender title can wait for a few more years, but he has to be given the best young player award!
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.

On the other hand, Morocco is actually very good and this is also a very extraordinary achievement for them in this world cup.

Congratulations Croatia on winning the title for the third position,  they played excellently today and their motivation was on point . Morocco did thier best too but somewhere they were lacking in motivation and aggressiveness today. Morocco is no doubt an amazing team and they have proven that to everyone.
Croatia have always been good in playing football.

The tomorrow battle between Argentina and France is going to be the contending one as the hoth team were in all preparedness towards tomorrow's final, all hope and expectations on Messi to perform well like as always expected for his home country Argentina, France is not likely to take it easy as well because they've got Mbappe to make them proud, tomorrow is going to be interesting because it's going to emerge the winner of 2022 Qatar FIFA world cup.

I imagine Croatia will win but the 3rd place match is a seriously taken match I wonder, its not quite the same as previously heading to the final so I dont know.  If its closer to a friendly type atmosphere and the result not so contested then its harder to say.   Of the two Morocco has more supporters, maybe thats all it takes to tip the scales.
~~
Today 3rd place and in 2018 they lost in the final, second place. It was close today, but they did it 2-1 in 90 minutes without extra time. After the 0:3 against Argentina, Zlatko Dalic changed in 5 positions. Orsic also and he scored the important 2:1. The first 10 minutes were great, I thought we'd see a lot of goals today... one only happened then. Croatia has now the third best team in the world.

Very strange that all the same they did not give a single penalty in this match, although in the second half the Croatian player was simply knocked down in the penalty area by a kick in the leg, but the judge did not even look at the replay on VAR although the moment was very controversial.
But Morocco were good, they fought till the end, but the class of the Croatian team was affected. Still, Croatia has much more experience in such matches. 
This is how it ended, with Croatia taking home the bronze medal. Nonetheless, Morocco performed admirably in this tournament; they are a team that no one expected to reach this stage of the competition, but they prove to the world that they can never be underestimated.

Morocco has now made history by becoming the first African team to reach the World Cup semifinals. I hope that other African countries will improve before the next World Cup so that they can join Morocco in making Africa proud.

Morocco is probably the biggest surprise of this World Cup but I have to say that Croatia really did an amazing thing. Country with a little more than three million people won a bronze medal after winning a silver medal four years ago. And to mention that the Croatian league is far below other European leagues... Simply an amazing achievement!

And one more thing... I really, really, really hope that FIFA will stop ruin games like this by delegating low lever referees like the one that was delegated for today's game. The guy and his team (including the VAR team) ruined a great game!

I congratulate Croatia for winning third place at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. and also I congratulate Morocco. because after all to be 4th is a great thing for morocco. because it has been decades that even Morocco did not qualify for the last 16. but in 2022 they are now able to make extraordinary achievements. I hope that in the next world cup technology can be more advanced. so that the referee's decisions can be more precise. because even in the match that just took place there were several refereeing decisions that might become a hot topic of conversation. But still this World Cup is extraordinary. and I'm looking forward to the final match. where the Legend (messi) will fight with his team (argentina) against France.

With Argentina and France we have at least 2 of the title favorites in the final. Still, things looked very different at the start of the competition. Who would have thought that Argentina would reach the final after the defeat against Saudi Arabia? There were also chances that they would be eliminated and would not end up in the final at all. In the games against Poland and Mexico they showed that they can also play well and in the end they went through quite easily. Against Mexico it took a long time before the first goal was scored in the game. Messi can end his impressive career with the world championship. I think you can call him better than Maradonna.

Morocco did everything to win the match. They certainly weren't helpless. in the first half they played quite well, but in the 2nd half very late in injury time they also had a great chance to equalize. You may see in it why Morocco was unable to progress against Argentina, in which she also had considerable opportunities and was unable to make them. Countries like France, for example, have strikers like Giroud who know how to handle those kinds of opportunities. It was a special World Cup in the winter months in Europe. But reproducible? I do not think so.

Also, don't forget that Croatia didn't get a 100% penalty which I found very strange (VAR didn't intervene either). Still, Morocco can be very proud of their performance, they played very good football and showed the whole world what they can do. I would have wished them to win but Croatia played better.

I'm really looking forward to tomorrow's final!

And I like the Moroccan players who always look grateful even though they lost the game against France and also when just now from Croatia. because maybe for them to be able to reach the top 4 is already beyond their expectations. and it's been a great achievement. Now we just have to wait for the final match which will be held tomorrow according to my time. and I'm quite happy with this year's World Cup. lots of surprises happen and of course there are always things that become controversial.
Several Moroccan players and coaches protested at the referee after the match was over. I don't know what the problem was that the protest was made, maybe about some violations or some decisions they thought were wrong. But despite all that, Morocco should be grateful for their achievements in this World Cup, it's even better because it will be very unlikely to change the decision after the match is over.

One of the players to highlight in this match is Modric, he may announce his retirement, but I hope it will be after the other big tournaments are over. Modric is still pretty good based on his performances, he would be great to hopefully be in the squad for the next tournament.

An interesting fact about Croatia is that they have only experienced one defeat at the 2022 world cup (semi-finals) and one defeat also at the 2018 world cup (finals). This shows that Croatia is very consistent in every game it has played in both the 2018 and 2022 world cups. Croatia in 2018 wasn't really favored from the start. and even in 2022 Croatia is not too favored either. because actually teams like Brazil and Portugal are far more favored. However, Croatia has shown their strength in the two World Cups. this is enough to be the most beautiful gift for modric who played for the last time in the world cup. coming in third isn't too bad.
There is no doubt right now we have the best teams from Europe on winning post with Croatia already ended with third spot as they were second four years back after losing final against France, and now they are at third after losing against Argentina and having win against highly spirited Moroccan which also done good job for their country and African region but still pick of the teams with consistent strong play and good performance are France and Croatia.

Many big names already fall behind, but these two teams are having good time in last few years and now tomorrow we are having last match of this most organized and historic event which first time played into the Middle East even too many controversies were with this event but still having one of the best end as nothing wrong happen, and many good things were also happened during this event in Qatar.

The high expectations of Morocco failed in the end, but Morocco really deserved something good during this World Cup. Honorable failure for them, I totally agree on that. Congratulations to Croatia, and also congratulations to Morocco.

This tournament will mainly be the defeat of Brazil, which again failed to win as title favorite. In 2018, things went wrong against Belgium in the quarterfinals, now even in the eighth finals. Very disappointing, but also their own fault. Would Neymar really stop? In Morocco, disappointment will dominate at the moment. If you are in the semi-finals then you don't want to leave the tournament as 4th. The team has shown that it is perhaps the best team in Africa. Senegal did not have a nice draw, but they also missed Mane.

It's will good if Africa team (Morroco) win the bronze medal. Africa deserve better, but in a game of football the best team always win. It will be a competitive game ahead, both team are potential for the bronze medal.

Croatia has been at the finals in 2018 , they have experience in the game, and they might use it to crush Morroco.

Again, Croatia is not as strong as Spain or Portugal or Belgium in my opinion. And Morocco has already defeated the above mentioned teams during the world cup. The results are quite unpredictable, although most of the sportsbooks are favoring Croatia. The site where I checked the odds had Croatia at +138 and Morocco at +195. Draw is having odds at +240. Odds with final outcome are -145 for Croatia and +105 for Morocco. Anyway, irrespective of the odds, I am hopeful for a Moroccan victory. Will be good if a team from CAF/AFC finishes at 3rd place.
This is an irony from the highest order. This world cup is full with surprises. Nobody thought Morocco would loss out from the third place of the tournament. Morocco team could not play anything on the field. I was thinking if really Morocco was the one who wins those strong teams at the beginning to the climax of the game. Today again Morocco has has disappointed a lot of people and gamblers have lost money for the match. Sithara007, you are one the die hard fans of Argentina. You have been speaking for Argentina since the onset. I hope what you have been predicting is almost has come to pass but don't forget the opposite side of the bets of the tournament. Nobody believed Morocco would loss this game but it has happened, tomorrow is the final match. As for me, I am supporting France in the game to come.

We are nearing the end of the game and Croatia is leading 2-1.  Although Morocco tried its best, Croatia played more ball.  They can't take advantage of clear goal positions either.  It's 87 minutes and the Croats don't look like they're going to score easily.  Anyway, being one of the top four teams for Morocco is also a great achievement.
It was a good match, I'm glad that Croatia won, it's a worthy result. And for Morocco to be in the top four at the world championship is better than anyone can expect, I understand that when you get so far, you want even more, but they played beyond their abilities and showed a good game. Now we have the main question, who will be the champion? I think it will be France again.
It was a nice game from Croatia and Morocco, I guess for the fact that this two team couldn't get to the finals they wouldn't put much energy in the game. The two teams deserves to be in the 3rd and 4th position expecially Morocco as the first Africa team to be in this position, they deserve it. Argentina vs France will be a very interesting match, this teams are fit to win the World Cup, they both have strong players and its not clear or hard to predict to tell who will be the champion.

First of all I want to congratulate Morocco, they finished fourth in the world cup in a great way which not many big teams have been able to do. Their team bonding was excellent and the understanding of all the players was of a very high standard. Their performance will be remembered by football fans for a lifetime and we wish them all the best for the next World Cup.
