Re-match of the 2018 final? Spicy.

 

[Power Man]

I think TBD can pull off an upset

 

[HajdukSplit]

Morocco look like they will put a changed side, as of now Dalic says he will pick the “strongest” team but there are some injury doubts. Kind of hope Dalic puts a young team out there but they are putting big importance in medaling

I think Morocco are going to let guys rest and recover. Some backups will play 90.

Dalic said he'll pick only players who are "100% ready".

I expect Brozovic won't play, he was barely fit to begin with. I think Lovren might be out and one of Sutalo/Erlic in.
Or both, if Gvardiol isn't fully fit.

So Majer will start in place of Brozovic (just further up the pitch, Kova will play the Broz role), and I expect that Stanisic and Sucic will get some minute (finally).

I know it's "just" a 3rd place play off game, but the boys will want it.
The amount of teams with 3 medals since 1998, our first WC, is currently... One - France.
We would be the 2nd. For a nation of 4 mil, that'd be pretty special. Though 3 semis in 8 WC is special enough already.
And coming home would feel a lot better with a W in their last game.

One of them will be silver though.

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

One of them will be silver though.

That's not how it goes lol

As long as you get me that red 24 kit

Not sure what that even is but for sure...

I know, just being an ass.

 

[Savi]

18 year old midfielder Bilal El Khannous starting for Morocco today, keep an eye on him. He's been fantastic in his first season at Genk so far. Previously played for Belgian youth teams but has chosen Morocco now.

Intensity for this match will probably be lower but hoping Morocco can snatch a medal.

...Germany won 4 medals between 2002-2014 (Silver, Bronze, Bronze, & Gold)...
