Croatia will either play France or Morocco in the third-place game of the 2022 FIFAWorldCup on Saturday. Let’s preview both potential matchups.
A rematch of the 2018 final is still on the cards should Morocco continue its darkhorse run. But just like that year, it wouldn’t be a favorable matchup for the Vatreni.
Olivier Giroud has continued to deliver in the French kit with four goals thus far, with Antoine Griezmann dialing up three assists to lead the team in that department. The French attack would give the solid Croatian backline fits with their speed and creativity, and Croatia – bar the outlier four-goal performance against Canada – have not been a serious goal-scoring team all tournament.
In a theoretical matchup, Croatia would have to be careful not to go down two goals early like it did against Argentina because it doesn’t have the attacking juice up top to match France’s potential output. You know the Spider-Man meme where they’re pointing at each other? That’s how this matchup would look like.
