Croatia vs Morocco
Who’s going to win the bronze in Qatar?!
This Saturday you have a chance to enjoy the match-up for the World Cup’s 3rd position between the national teams of Croatia and Morocco. The interesting part about this duel is that these national teams opened the World Cup journey by playing against each other. They shared the points after the goalless 90 minutes. But there must be a winner. So it’s definitely going to be very exciting to see who’s going to end up winning their second clash in Qatar!
Croatia finished as the second-best team in Group F. Then in the eliminations the Checkered Ones ended up winning twice after the penalty shootout. First, they beat the national team of Japan with a penalties score of 1:3. Then, in the quarter-final Croatia also won against the national team of Brazil after penalty roulette, this time with a score of 4:2. But in the semi-finals they faced the national team of Argentina and lost the match by 3:0. So now the Croatians have another opportunity to do better and finish the tournament as the third-best squad in the World.
The Moroccans presented excellent soccer capacity in Qatar. After winning the first position in Group F, their first victory in the knockouts was against Spain. Namely, Morocco won the match against the Spanish team after penalties with an outcome of 3:0. This success was followed by another phenomenal performance of Morocco, this time against the national team of Portugal which ended up with a score of 1:0 for the Moroccans. But unfortunately, Morocco lost the semi-final challenge against the national team of France with a final score of 2:0. However, Morocco will definitely bring another great approach against Croatia and go for the bronze.
We are expecting another long soccer duel in which both teams will be very focused on the defensive side. The favorite for the victory will be Croatia due to their more significant experience.
Argentina vs France
Second World Cup final for Messi!
In the previous World Cup (2018) France and Argentina faced each other at the ⅛ finals. Their performance was super attractive, finishing the game with a final score of 4:3 in favor of France, which later won the World Cup…
Argentina is in a great state of mind at the moment. After the bad opening performance, they went on a winning streak. This great run started by beating Mexico (2:0), then Poland (0:2), Australia (2:1), Netherlands (after penalties 3:4), and their final victim was Croatia (3:0) in the semi-finals.
Leo Messi lost the big finale of the World Cup in Brazil (2014) against the national team of Germany by 1:0.
So on Sunday, there is no doubt that the entire Argentinian team will have extra motivation to bring their best in order to win the title in Qatar and make Messi’s career probably the best one ever!
The reigning champions are focused on the title from the very beginning of the tournament. After winning the first position in Group D, France showed their real soccer power in the eliminations. At this stage of the World Cup they beat Poland (3:1), then England (1:2), and in the semi-final match France won against the national team of Morocco (2:0).
France has an excellent generation with great self-confidence. In the previous World Cup, they won the big finale against Croatia with a final score of 4:2. So the French squad is all set to bring another fantastic soccer performance in order to win the World Cup back-to-back.
We are looking forward to a phenomenal soccer rollercoaster with tons of dramatic moments till the very end of the game. The slight favorites for winning the World Cup trophy will be the national team of France due to their title-winning reputation.
