Croatia, Belgium, Canada and Morocco will play in Group F. Will we see both European teams in the 1/8 finals?
The previous World Cup ended very well for Croatia and Belgium. The Croats reached the final, and the Belgians took third place. However, it will be very difficult to repeat the success, because there are no young and bright stars in the national teams of Croatia and Belgium, so we will have to leave due to the experience of already established leaders, who, unfortunately, are not getting younger. But even in the current line-ups, both European teams must reach the playoffs.
Although Canada took first place in the group in the third qualifying stage, it did not play perfectly, winning only eight games out of fourteen. In the final three test games before the start of the World Cup, the Maple Leafs were also not stable, winning only one victory.
As for the Moroccan national team, it confidently and easily passed all three qualifying stages, and in the last with a score of 5-2 on the sum of two meetings it won against DR Congo. There was not a single loss in the last five test matches, but Morocco - Qatar, Jamaica, Chile, Paraguay and Georgia were opposed.
Forecast
Belgium should take the first place, Croatia is not without difficulty, but the second, and Canada and Morocco will compete for the third position, and then go home.
