The group’s two favorite theorists play their round pass in a dramatic contest. Statistically, it is very difficult for both teams to qualify
They were the two clear favorites in Group F to reach the round of 16, but it is highly likely that one of them will leave the World Cup sooner than expected, drawing the curtain on one of their best generations. Belgium and Croatia (4 p.m.) seek access to the crosses, with the checkered team having a certain advantage. The draw is worth it, alongside the win, and Roberto Martínez’s men only need the win to progress in Qatar. In this case, for Croatia to join Belgium alongside Belgium, Morocco would have to lose to Canada (already eliminated), and that by one goal more than the defeat of the Balkans against the Central Europeans.
With these accounts, the percentage chance of seeing the last game of one of these two magnificent generations is quite high. Both Belgium and Croatia face the last major tournament with many of the stars that have made them shine all these years. In Russia 2018 they reached their peak with second place for the Croats and third place for the ‘red devils’, and in Qatar 2022 they compete for one last dance, albeit with different perspectives. At least, given what’s been seen so far.
Belgium, together with Uruguay and Germany, is one of the disappointments of the tournament. They defeated Canada with difficulty and lost to Morocco fairly. The dressing room is divided, with accusations between certain heavyweights, and their captain and former star player, Eden Hazard, is a drag. A situation that has nothing to do with that of Croatia. The passage of time has been better managed by the Balkan team and have come to this World Cup with a desire to repeat the feat of four and a half years ago, but also aware of how extremely complicated it is for a country of only four million inhabitants.
Croatia equalized in their debut against Morocco (0-0) and beat Canada in the second game (4-1), after returning Davies’ initial goal. With a draw and a win, they go into this decisive game with confidence. Along the way, apart from a surprise, Spain seems to become first in its group and meet second in this group F in which Croatia and Belgium try this Thursday to extend, at least one more game, the journey of a dream generation .
