3rd/4th Place Playoff

[Pootsy]

Saturday 17th December
Khalifa International Stadium
Match 63/64
Croatia v Morocco

So here is the swansong, the match for the ugly bride, dumped at the altar. Germany have set the record for the most appearances in this match that no one wants to play in. Though I bet England and their media friendly squad would love to be participating in this. But lets not make it about them, let them fight over ownership of a soon to be pampered in luxury cat. That is unless Declan Rice gain custody in which case the poor moggy will live its fife out in fear of Kurt Zouma calling round.

So Luca Modric potential swansong. This fantastic little maestro will possibly have his last outing for his national team unless he and his teammates are emotionally drained from their Semi Final defeat to the Argies. The Moroccans on the other hand really gave the French a go despite the exact same scoreline in their Semi Final. They seemed to want it more than the Croats. Can the Croat midfield muster the energy for one last game against the tournaments big surprise, Morocco? Will the match be Croatia B's v Morocco Bs? At least there is a game of togger on Saturday to help the ale flow.

I know it's a bit early, but the first bit - have another go.

Second part, Argentina won 3-0, France won 2-0.

Meh! It was a rush job! Just like the match, no one cares.

Happy to have one more 90 minutes of zooming in on the Croatia fans.

Gold thread started and yes I agree I bet England would love to be part of the conversation but they were dumped out the competition by the first decent team they faced sadly.

Should be a good game this.

Morocco to win and deservedly climb above Wales in the world rankings.

You did a phenomenal job of carrying out your instructions, and not in the Martinez sense of 'phenomenal'. Well done, mate.

Poor that they put an enormous World Cup trophy in the centre circle before the third place playoff. It’s like saying to the players here’s what you could have won ?‍
