Morocco, Croatia advance from Group F
Doha, The Gulf Observer: Two more groups will send teams through to the knockout stage Thursday at the World Cup, and some elite soccer nations have work to do. Two Group F games just concluded.
Croatia, the 2018 runner-up, finished in a scoreless draw against Belgium, which finished third four years ago, and Belgium was eliminated.
Morocco beat Canada, 2-1, to win the group. In Group E games beginning at 2 p.m., Germany must beat Costa Rica to have any chance to advance, and Spain faces Japan in another critical matchup.
