Croatia face off with Morocco in the 2022 World Cup third place game with both sides pushing for a bronze medal in Qatar.
This fixture is a controversial match on the World Cup calendar, as it pits the two beaten semifinalists against each other, with the memory of missing out on the final still fresh in their minds.
Luka Modric’s Croatia bowed out to a Lionel Messi inspired Argentina in the last four, as they missed the chance to reach back-to-back World Cup finals, and Morocco’s fairytale was ended by defending champions France.
The two teams could not be separated in the group stages, after a 0-0 Group F opener in Al Khor, with Morocco eventually topping the group.
Here’s all the information you need to watch the game in the USA, including kickoff time, TV channel and live streaming options.
