真夜中から始まった3位決定戦を観戦。クロアチアが90分で勝負をつけて3位となった。

モロッコは大半を占める応援団に後押しされたが、中2日の休暇しかなく、しかもセンターバック2人を含めて、負傷者が多かったのが残念だった。

また、PKの疑いもあった審判の判定にも泣かされたかもしれない。

個人的には延長戦になる予感はあったが、クロアチアの試合運びがとてもクレバーだった。

レジェンドのモドリッチを中心に上手く試合をコントロールして、完全に競合国の仲間入りをしたように思う。

本日が日曜日だったので、夜更かしも支障なかったが、決勝戦は月曜日。延長戦は困るが、最後まで競り合って欲しい気もする。

I watched the third-place game that began at midnight. Croatia won the game in 90 minutes and took third place.

Morocco was boosted by the majority of the cheering crowd, but they only had two days off in the middle of the game, plus they had a lot of injuries, including two center backs.

They may also have cried foul over a referee's decision, which was also a suspected penalty kick.

Personally, I had a feeling that the game would go into extra time, but Croatia was very clever in the way they played the game.

I think they controlled the game well, especially with the legendary Modric, and completely joined the ranks of the contending nations.

Since today was Sunday, staying up late was not a problem, but the final match is on Monday. I don't want to see extra time, but I also want to see them compete until the end.
