GWT: World Cup - Third Place Game - Croatia v. Morocco

[Blender]

Croatian defense just fell asleep there.

 

[Spring in Fialta]

Finally a Ziyech FK leads to a goal. It feels like every single's one been super dangerous since the start of the WC, including a couple of offside goals.

That old black man in Moroccan gear seems like he's about to stroke out over a third-place match.

Moroccan defense is painfully not the starting one. JC.

 

[Tryamw]

Bono with a save.

 

[Tryamw]

Bono with the better save and punch 24'
Morocco with some terrible clearances.

 

[Tryamw]

Morocco not showing much touch at 28' then get the ball up and miss the chance.

Literally crowding and throwing your shoulder into a referee isn’t a card anymore?

 

[Tryamw]

Another set piece..

The foul at 8' (Led to the equalizer) should also have been. But Yeah that should have been at least one for dissent.

I feel like 3rd place matches are usually light on cards.

The commentators just mentioned this Qatari referee hasn't worked for the past ~month(!!!) of this tournament (since USA/Wales). I find that so incredibly strange, if not suspect. They kick off the dust and throw in the third place game?

Croatia 2-1!

 

[Tryamw]

2-1 Croatia off the post.

 

[Panteras]

What a goal

 

[Jersey Fresh]

Orsic loves scoring bangers. Think that was a cross though lol.

Eh second look, going for the curler. What a goal.

 

[Blender]

What a goal by Orsic.

 

[Tryamw]

Half time 2-1 Croatia

Every time I've seen Orsic play he looked like the best player on the pitch. Can any Croatians explain why he's not a household name?

Toiled in mediocre leagues during his best years, he's 30 now and there no reason for Dinamo to sell him now for peanuts. Plus he is a huge fan of Dinamo and isn't itching to go anywhere.

Just a wee bit ironic to hear "Live Is Life" playing at the stadium...

Just a wee bit ironic to hear "Live Is Life" playing at the stadium...

Why?

 

[Jussi]

Why?

Well who knows how many died while building that stadium...

 

[Evilo]

Oh, somehow I thought you were talking about the number of deaths that can be attributed by the host country, which is so little compared to counties that shall not be named here.

[Evilo]

Arh, forgot that is you way of only hypocritically looking at one side only.

 

[Jersey Fresh]

Even on that guy's scale, that might be the most blatant one I've ever seen.
