Modric is not retiring. He'll be playing at Euro 24.
Croatia have the best fans , They will celebrate in Zagreb with over a half million fans in Ban Jelacic Square again !
lets have the best REFS and let the game flow
and best team win
I think Croatia CAN PLAY OPEN AND SHUT
up to full backs controlling game and pace and there fitness
and the midfield are there as support
soccer need these FULLBACKS that read the game
Make no mistake, highly likely that Morocco will care and Croatia will care as well. Morocco should go for the medal and a good finish to the tournament. Hope they are not careless in their last game of the tournament.
Morocco have come this far, they might as well leave with a bang. Better not be naive and/or unprofessional about it and wing it. Hope none of the espn crew members in this segment ever become managers if this is their approach 😂
Good luck to Morocco
I love what Morocco has done…I wish they were coming in 2nd place over France to be honest at the end (lol), but 3rd or 4th is still amazing! 🇦🇷
It’s utterly disgusting and disrespectful that people will think for a second that this game means more the Morocco than Croatia
Lets just hope that FIFA doesnt destroy this game
Who the f*** is this pinoy guy?? Lol 😆😆🤡🤡
yes we care lol
I speak for all Moroccans when i say we hate the french and hope Argentina destroy them
Don't listen to this guy, the majority of Moroccan are backing Messi. We will celebrate in streets for him and for us.
There will be one moroccan in the final (the referee)
What they've accomplished: scoring one goal in the knockout rounds (3 games)
Morocco cares more than Croatia but I think Croatia is a way stronger team. If Croatia wants the bronze medal I think it's theirs to take.
ESPN is the biggest network yet they have the most sub pair retired players giving boring takes they should upgrade
I can't believe what I'm hearing. Germany played this game in 2006. and 2010. as if their lives depended on it, with a full strength squad. Only England four years ago couldn't appreciate potentially finishing third, but they couldn't appreciate finishing second at the Euros, when I come to think of it.
Dan for f s it is morocco not monaco
South Korea=2002 World Cup
Morocco=2022 World Cup
Morocco will take this match seriously 1st African team to finish 3rd let's go !!!!!!!!
I have him in my fifa fantasy team, owes me
Why does English media think that bronze doesn't matter when English teams can't even dream of having a bronze
Almost every team cares.
What is ESPN talking about lmao
Bronze is extremely important
Croatia is still extremely proud of bronze in 98', probably moreso than the silver in 18'
I don't know why you'd be cynical about the play-off for third place. For either team this is a great achievement.
"the Monaco coach" lol Dan's already forgotten who's playing, that's how boring it is.
The 3rd place game is like the game every team doesn't want to play
Anwar lost me when he put Ngolo Kante and Yaya toure in the same category of player lmaooooooooo
3rd place gets 30 millions?
11:30 first mention of Croatia. I started to wonder if we are going to play at all.
No-one cares about this game.
Hope Morocco take 3rd place.
Croatia will play it 100% competitively. They are playing for a medal, for extra FIFA prize money, FIFA rankings, for the people back home etc. Not to mention the importance of going home with a win instead of two consecutive loses. Of course they care. It's complete nonsense this is even discussed. I will quote the late, great Ayrton Senna to emphasize my point about how top athletes think and behave. ''Being a racing driver means you are racing with other people and if you no longer go for a gap that exists you are no longer a racing driver because we are competing'' – A. Senna, 1990.
referees are from qatar hmmmmmm i smell a set up
0-0 written all over it
third place playoff is stupid, i dont knw why we have to play it in world cup.
I can think of 28 other teams that would love to be in this game
Either Kovacic steps up and creates things or Modric plays up front to show the rest of them how its done. Dalic, give the young guns a go
Here we going underestimating Croatia. They do care and they’ll show up! ❤️🇭🇷
Fifa fifa all show!!!!!!
