FIFA 2022 world cup

[Crypto Library]

Croatia is now playing very defensively. But Morocco are trying to attack brilliantly so that they can repay the goal. But I think Croatia's style of play suggests that they will play defensively and secure victory.

And that was the very mistake the Moroccans made, thinking they had all the time, not attacking brilliantly right from the very moment the Croatians scored their second goal, because the Moroccans had all the opportunities and chances, but there inability of not targeting the goal post from a distance each moment just like the Croatians did, is what have cost them the chance of not emerging the third position of this year's world cup.. But all the same, congratulations to Croatia for finally winning this game. Those guys really deserve it.

Croatia played very aggressively.  Especially where there are players like Luka Modriz.  However, Morocco played well enough not to convert the opportunities due to a lack of finishing.  Congrats to Croatia but big congrats to Morocco too and everyone will remember their name.  They have defeated many big teams.

I hope Morocco will be back in next the FIFA with fullfill of their lacancy. I think everyone noticed that their finisher's can't do well at the last moment. My question is that why they didn't much improve on there finishers after the match against France because we also seen the same think on that match. And Congratulations to the Croatia team who were the runners-up in the last FIFA World Cup and took the third position this time.

Congratulation Croatia.  Croatia is the third placed team in FIFA World Cup 2022 held in Qatar today.  Through their beautiful game and interesting side they play today.  But they are today the third place team Croatia as a result of a lot of hard work.  Morocco played the ball very badly today because their finishing was not good.  And they missed massively in all cases their luck was not in their favour.  Although they attacked a lot towards the end, Croatia could not put the ball in the goal post.  However, they had many opportunities but could not use them in any way.

Croatia led 2-1 at the end of the first half. I all know that the defense is very strong in both teams. And so it will be very difficult for Morocco to score another goal. But the players of both the teams continued their efforts. Both teams are performing very well. So far we have seen only defensive gameplay from the Moroccan team. But today they are not playing defensively. They are counter-attacking a lot. However, the players of Morocco are not able to score because of Croatia's experienced defenders.

Final whistle and final result, Croatia has a second time to end World Cup at a third position, a second time after World Cup 1998. It is big achievement for their country which is small in total area but is big in World Cup history. They are one of few teams can have 1 runner up, 2 third positions in Word Cup. It is more meaningful because the country is very young too.

This third position is a good gift and farewell for Luka Modric at his 37 age. He did not say goodbye but we can imagine next four years, he will be 41 years old so World Cup 2022 is his last one. Maybe he can play in Euro 2024 but World Cup 2026 is impossible.

Croatia managed to secure the third position of the World Cup. They have lived up to their game and their victory will truly honor a legendary player like Luka Modric. But on the other hand, my condolences for Morocco. They also tried to play well and try to equalize the match. But they failed, still congratulating them as they finished fourth in the World Cup this time.

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.

actually the results of the Croatia vs Morocco match were in accordance with what was predicted. and Croatia deserved to win in this match. croatia is more to play safe in this match as usual. being in the top four is a great achievement for morocco. because since the beginning of the 2022 World Cup no one suspected that Morocco could get this far. and now there is one more game left in the top of the final. i.e. Argentina vs France.

Yeah, Congratulations to Croatia for getting the bronze medal, they have shown a good game in this match. Croatia played very calm, they didn't have too many mistakes. Meanwhile, Morocco did not play very well, the attackers were not optimal, there were too many passing mistake in this match, maybe they were nervous.

Croatia deserved the win and played really good overall im the entire match against Morocco. I expected lots of goals but didnt expect no goals in the second half. Croatia close the match smart on their experience and got a very good achievement on another world cup

Morocco has come this far is truly surprising and impressive.  Morocco's familiarity grew.  Croatia was the runner-up team in last year's final.  This victory was theirs.  The next World Cup will be easy for Morocco and Morocco will start as favourites.  Now there is one more match left in the World Cup and that is France vs Argentina.  France is the last world champion team and Argentina has the best Lionel Messi in the world.  It's going to be a very exciting game.

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.

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.

I woke up too late to get a bet in but I thought Croatia had a better chance of winning today. They have been a very consistent club the last 4 years and not made it on hopes and dreams. Congrats to them and all who support them on this forum.

Now let's see if France can win the cup tomorrow.

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.

And in the end we all know who really deserved to be 3rd place in the Qatar World Cup. Croatia is better in quality, but the hope of many is that Morocco will win it. I'm not surprised by Croatia's victory, but it's a little regretful that Morocco isn't as strong as the previous matches.

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.

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.

[Agbe]

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.

[BitcoinAccepted]

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.

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.

[Zackgeno96]

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.

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.

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.

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!
