Both teams were just one step away from reaching the final, however, they were clearly outclassed in their semifinal games and will now be looking for the “consolation prize” of third place in the World Cup. Of course, even if they both wanted the final, there is enormous merit in playing this game.
On the Croatian side, it is the second time in their history that they have played it, the first being in France 1998, where they were winners and that was their best participation until the last World Cup when they reached the final. Morocco is the first African in the semifinals, so even with the defeat their performance will be historic, although of course they will look for 3rd place, which would undoubtedly be very important for soccer in their country and in Africa.

Croatia vs Morocco: Storylines
Croatia want to finish this World Cup in the best way, especially considering that it will probably be the last for several great players from an excellent generation of Croatian players, including Luka Modric. If he wins, they would take third place for the second time in their history, having previously done so in France in 1998.
Morocco‘s participation is historic regardless of the result with France and not even the one they obtain against Croatia. No African team had ever reached a semi-final, so they not only made history for Moroccan soccer, but for the entire continent. But of course, it would be even better if that story ended with Morocco as high up as possible.
