Here are the betting lines and trends for Morocco vs. Both clubs advanced all the way to the semifinals, with Morocco losing to defending champion France and Croatia being stopped by Argentina.

Apart from calling him "the best player in history". Modric: Need I say more? The midfielder has been one of the best ballers of a generation, and ...

They came up against Argentina , who had had problems of their own, losing on the opening day to Saudi Arabia and looking like Messi was crashing out in tears. It is actually game 63 of the tournament - have you been counting? As well as that, he can collect the ball from the defenders and start attacks himself, using his fantastic passing and vision to pick out a teammate and get the Moroccan side moving forward. The European side scored an equaliser in the 117th minute after a fantastic Neymar goal, taking the game through the magic portal to the infamous penalty realm, where the Croatians do their business. Yes, I am going to use all the puns that I failed to fit in against France. His defensive ability is years beyond his age and his capacity to play the ball out from the back is unrivalled by many in Europe's top leagues. Livakovic has been outstanding in all of Croatia's games, making outstanding saves in all the knockout rounds and helping his side get through on the multiple penalty shootouts they have endured. The Fiorentina player sits at the base of the midfield, screening the game like a three-headed watchdog, waiting for any moment to jump in and sweep up potential attack from the opponent. Gvardiol: Yes, I know he got his ribcage rotated 270º inside his body (probably) by Messi in the last game, but Gvardiol has still confirmed what everyone suspected: that he is, without a doubt, one of the best young players in world football. As well as the immeasurable levels of pride that are at stake with today's game, there is also a lot of money. If Gvardiol and Bono start, then they will definitely have a higher chance of maintaining the record. The midfielder has been one of the best ballers of a generation, and he somehow does not look like slowing down.

That was plenty of fun. Josko Gvardiol and Mislav Orsic scored quite brilliant goals for Croatia either side of Achraf Dari's equaliser.

It beat the flying Bono, hit the inside of the far post and rebounded into the net. The Morocco players are fuming that a corner wasn’t given, but replays show the referee got it right. It looked like they had missed the chance by overplaying, but Kovacic won the ball back on the edge of the D and gave it to Livaja (I think). That wasn’t a foul, but we’ve just seen a replay of the Gvardiol appeal, and it was one of the clearest penalties of the tournament. The interesting thing is that he was offside, but play continued because of the change in the law. He flicked it outside to Orsic, who ran round the ball, on the left edge of the area, and floated an exquisite first-time shot across goal with his right foot. He makes a beeline for goal and slashes a long-range drive over the bar. 74 min Gvardiol rampages into the area, onto a superb angled pass from Orsic, and falls over under a challenge from Amrabat. A cross from the left skims the head of Gvardiol and comes to En-Nesyri, whose close-range shot is superbly saved by Livakovic. He made it for himself with some beautiful footwork, shifting the ball one way and then the other to hoodwink a defender in the area. There was a bit of pushing and shoving from the players on both sides before things settled down. Attiat-Allah beats his man again on the left, but this time he stands up a lovely cross to the far post.

He finds Modric at the edge of the box and the Real Madrid playmaker takes a couple of steps and dishes out a low shot, that nutmegs Dari, but Bono keeps the ball out The PSG defender goes into the final third and whips out a cross but En-Nesyri fails to get a touch Luck favours him as the ball goes out for a Croatian corner ORSIC scores a stunner from the edge of the box as the ball hits the crossbar and goes inside the goal. He registers a shot but Croatian defense steps up as the ball goes out for a goal kick Orsic gets the ball outside the box and lets it fly but it brushes past the net after a deflection from Amarbat Ziyech initiates a Moroccan attack with a lovely move to find Hakimi on the right. Boufal leads the attack on the left and finds El Khannous and gets the ball back inside the box. The latter then whips out a dangerous long ball and finds Kramaric but Yamiq intercepts in time The referee decides to let the game continue and a Morocco counter begins. Space from the Moroccan defense leads to a Croatian attack on the left. Superb run from Kovacic as he gets the ball inside the box.

Morocco captain Romain Saiss did not make it to the starting eleven against Croatia in the FIFA World Cup 2022 third-place playoff.

However, he looked to have made a miraculous recovery to star against France. Eventually, he had to give in to a struggling hamstring and was substituted off in the 20th minute. The centre-back was stretched off in the second-half against Portugal in the quarterfinals with a hamstring injury and was doubtful for the semis.
