Croatia vs Belgium in Group F. Last year's World Cup runners-up and third-place finishers faced each other in a head-to-head match, which should have been exciting, but unfortunately, things have changed, and both Croatia and Belgium have faded, especially Belgium's situation is particularly serious.
Too many of Belgium's players are over 30 and not as energetic as they used to be, and as a result, they were thrashed by Morocco last time out, so they need to win this game to have a chance.

The team is on the verge of going out of the competition. Chivun Dibuni was mediocre last time out, with no players in front of him like

Even the master passer can't do anything about it. Lukaku only played the last 10 minutes in the last match, obviously not in good form, but there is no turning back this time, so it is expected that the manager Martinez will still use him as a regular choice.
On the contrary, Croatia's superstar Modi Ric is also old, but he is the same as the one who plays for
Real Madrid (soccer team)
Age is just a figure of speech, but he is more energetic than the younger generation, and his performance is not much different from that of 4 years ago. As for the defense, Lovin has teamed up with the 20 year old Kiwadio, who combines experience and vitality to form a well-balanced center pairing, which is much better than the aging defense of Belgium's Ada Weret and Widenhain, and may even be the difference between winning and losing this match.
Moreover, before the match, there are rumors of infighting scandal in Belgium, the three main players Chassat, Chiyun Dibny and Widenhain almost fought, under the internal and external problems, I believe that Belgium has no heart to fight for the win, Croatia can be another city.
