Morocco vs Croatia: World Cup third place play-off live updates

Lee Costello

Croatia vs Morocco.

What a journey Morocco and Croatia have been on, entering this World Cup as underdogs, but leaving with their heads held high, and respect enhanced.

Morocco became the first African team in World Cup history to make the semi-finals of the tournament, while Croatia, who many thought were over the hill, beat the favourites Brazil to reach the last four.

Unfortunately they both came up against better sides in the shape of Argentina and France, and although they won’t partake in the final, they have one last dance as they fit it out for the third place play-off position.

This could be the last time we see Luka Modric in a Croatia journey, and most certainly the last time in a World Cup, so he will want to bow out with another win under his belt.
