The chances of the winning the World Cup might have gone for Croatia and Morocco, but 'immortality' is at stake when the two teams meet in Saturday's third-place playoff.
Croatia's Luka Modric and Morocco's Abde Ezzalzouli compete for possession during the World Cup group F soccer match between Morocco and Croatia, at the Al Bayt Stadium in Al Khor , Qatar, Wednesday, Nov. 23, 2022. The chances of the winning the World Cup might have gone for Croatia and Morocco, but "immortality" is at stake when the two teams meet in Saturday's third-place playoff.
Croatia forward Andrej Kramaric dispelled the notion it would be a meaningless contest at Khalifa International Stadium. "I think if you ask this question to Moroccan players, I don't think they will look that way," he said at a news conference Thursday. "They're fighting for their lives because if you win a medal at a World Cup you become an immortal hero in your country. That's the same thing we are going to do."
