17:58Belgium couldn’t, they couldn’t, Lukaku got them, Mertens got them in the first half, but they weren’t right, not because Livakovic put in a good performance, which wasn’t the case, but because they weren’t effective in front of the goal. Game in the gusts, in the moments, Belgium the game at the end, Croatia dominated the big part of the first half, nobody scored, Belgium was more clear to them, but the game was left at 0.

MATCH FROM MANY TO KINDThe match started with a good Croatia who had several chances in the first minutes. Then, apart from the best chance of the game at the foot of Mertens, the game was steady and lacked chances. 0-0 that serves Croatia but not Belgium, who need to find the goal if they don’t want to be left out of the competition.

ABOUT STARTING A MATCH–
HYMNS SOUND–
BELGIUM LEADS THE FIFA RANKINGS FOR YEARSNow the golden generation can crash hard in the group stage. After De Bruyne said they are no longer favorites because they are older, today’s game could be before and after for the Belgian team.
GROUP F VERY COMPLICATEDWhen the draw came out, we saw Group F as one of the most competitive, but everything led us to believe that the Europeans would pass the stage and Morocco would be left, and most likely either Belgium or Croatia would run into Qatar 2022 today.
GOOD PARTYThe finalist of Russia 2018 will face the third classified
15:36The main referee is the Englishman Anthony Taylor and the VAR is the German Marco Fritz
WONDERFUL WRITINGS IN BELGIUMThe Hazard brothers dropped to the eleven, Lukaku still unavailable to start and Batshuayi replaced by Mertens

WE ARE ALL 11–
15:05A draw would serve Croatia, while Belgium would only be worth a victory. For Bob’s side to tie, Canada will need to beat Canada by at least 3 goal difference, an advantage that is difficult to imagine.
15:04On the other hand, there is Belgium, Roberto Martínez’s team is between his back and the wall, after winning 1 goal to 0 against Canada, he had a heavy defeat against Morocco by 2 goals to 0.
15:02Croatia leads the group, with 4 points after drawing 0 against Morocco and winning 4 goals to 1 against Canada, which closes the group.
15:00Croatia and Belgium will play a pass in the round of 16 at 4:00 pm at Ahmad bin Ali Stadium, home of Al Rayyan with a capacity of 45,032 spectators
