Daily News | As the World Cup draws to a close, Inquirer soccer writers offer their finals predictions
The third-place game only matters for bragging rights, so I’d like to see both teams go out and have fun. Unfortunately, I don’t think this Croatia team will want to play that kind of game. So I’ll take Morocco to give its legions of fans one last present: a win over Luka Modrić, as masterful a midfield conductor as the modern soccer world has seen.I think of Croatia as being the team equivalent of that meme clip of Denzel Washington saying, “I’m leaving here with something.
If that’s the Croatia that comes out against Morocco, then we’re in for quite the game. I wouldn’t be surprised if Hakim Ziyech, Achraf Hakimi, or anyone else really, slips one past Dominic Likakovic, who would be playing in just his. However, if the Croatia that got itself to one match away from a finals repeat emerges, I don’t think the Moroccans can withstand that. Croatia has something to prove after that loss and despite Morocco being darlings, I think they fall short.
I think we’ll witness Messi magic for sure in addition to the pressure Andrea mentioned of Argentina wanting to win one for him, but Les Bleus have been the team of the tournament and I don’t think Argentina is going to change that.
