I never really understand why this game exists.

(I’m referring to both the 3rd place game and football in general)

Wouldn’t normally be bothered by this fixture in the slightest. But it would be nice for Morocco to win

Cash prizes for your relevant association mostly, which both countries could do with. Also it would be an amazing achievement for Morocco to be the first African nation to get a podium finish, plus I’m not quite done seeing that team once again so should be a good match. Plus effectively Modric’s testimonial

Also polite reminder that Germany vs Uruguay in 2010 was arguably the best game of the tournament :sweat_smile:

Obviously the third place playoff never exists but a third place playoff at the end of a condensed world cup, in the middle of the season, between 2 knackered/injured squads has potential to exist less than any world cup game has previously existed.

Think it’s only fans of actually successful teams + england that don’t care about the 3rd place playoff

Morocco will be well up for it today

The thinking man’s final

Fun fact: Hakim Ziyech and Achraf Hakimi will both have made 10 World Cup appearances after today, and are joint record holders for Morocco. They will join 5 other African players who reached double figures: Asamoah Gyan (11, Ghana), François Omam Biyik (11, Cameroon), André Ayew (10, Ghana), Joseph Yobo (10, Nigeria) and Roger Milla (10, Cameroon).
