At 4 pm Italian time the first of the two finals of the World Cup in Qatar, the one for the third and fourth place.

At the Khalifa International Stadium in Al Rayyan, Luka Modric's Croatia and the surprising Morocco challenge each other, both eager to soothe the bitterness caused by their elimination in the semifinals by winning a prestigious bronze in any case.

In short, not a "consolation final", as Moroccan coach Walid Regragui recalled: «Of course, it's Sunday's final we wanted to play. However, we also want to play against Croatia».

The Croatian coach Dalic was on the same wavelength, underlining how «being third or fourth makes a big difference».

On Sunday, however, always with the kick-off at 4 pm Italian time, the super-challenge for the coveted cup: facing Lionel Messi's Argentina and Mbappè's France , with millions of spectators connected from all over the globe .
