Having a second string defence taking its toll on Morocco. Other than Hakimi they do nothing to support the forward guys.

That was a penalty for Croatia, 12th man strikes for Morocco.

Still shocked by how meekly they surrendered to Argentina.
It has nothing with being meek. It was a tactical master plan that worked for Argentina and failed miserably for Croatia.

I’m thinking where was this Orsic in dat game, useless traitor. Apparently they know about doing something in final third. Their central defence killed them.
Like I said, completely flabbergasted by their performance. Give credit to the Argie right side of De Paul and Molina though. They handled Orsic very well.

Tactics alone do not win matches. There is also intent, will and execution. Uncharacteristically Croatia fell short on the first two. That 2nd goal they conceded was key to the game. A comedy of defensive errors.

You are comparing a second string Morocco defense with the battle hardened Argentinians. Apples and oranges.

I agree with you. I just think there was more to it — the Argentina side that found a way to not wear them down and sap their spirits.

Congrats to both teams. Morocco made history and croatia reaffirmed their status as an elite team in world football. Winning WC 2nd and 3rd place back to back no be beans.
