Group F: Three-way battle for two round of 16 tickets

Canada out but can still play the spoiler for Morocco

Morocco defeated Belgium 2-0 to go top of group F heading into the final matchday on Thursday.

The north African side will certainly fancy their chances of picking one of the two round of 16 tickets on offer after drawing with Croatia in their first game and beating Belgium on Sunday.

They sit comfortably on the top of the table with four points from two matches and waiting for Canada, who is already out of contention, and will play in the last game for glory.

Even if they lose against Les Rouges, there is a chance to go through, only in the situation where Croatia wins against Belgium.

Belgium have to win against Croatia because they are their direct opponents for knockout stage qualification, and only a win will take them through.

Croatia can qualify for the next round even if they play draw with Belgium in the last group stage match. But they must not allow a defeat because Belgium will go on with 6 points in that case.

In the event of a win in the third round, Croatia is safe with 7 points, and depending on the goal difference, it will move on from first or second place or if Morocco wins.
