Final for the Red Devils
Nothing is decided in Group F, dominated by Croatia (4 points), followed by Morocco (4 points). 3rd placed Belgium (3 points) is almost out of the standings at the moment. A win will take him to the 1/8 finals, and a draw will eliminate him from the world championship in Qatar. In short, the tension for the “red devils” will reach its peak.
