They came up against Argentina , who had had problems of their own, losing on the opening day to Saudi Arabia and looking like Messi was crashing out in tears. It is actually game 63 of the tournament - have you been counting? As well as that, he can collect the ball from the defenders and start attacks himself, using his fantastic passing and vision to pick out a teammate and get the Moroccan side moving forward. The European side scored an equaliser in the 117th minute after a fantastic Neymar goal, taking the game through the magic portal to the infamous penalty realm, where the Croatians do their business. Yes, I am going to use all the puns that I failed to fit in against France. His defensive ability is years beyond his age and his capacity to play the ball out from the back is unrivalled by many in Europe's top leagues. Livakovic has been outstanding in all of Croatia's games, making outstanding saves in all the knockout rounds and helping his side get through on the multiple penalty shootouts they have endured. The Fiorentina player sits at the base of the midfield, screening the game like a three-headed watchdog, waiting for any moment to jump in and sweep up potential attack from the opponent. Gvardiol: Yes, I know he got his ribcage rotated 270º inside his body (probably) by Messi in the last game, but Gvardiol has still confirmed what everyone suspected: that he is, without a doubt, one of the best young players in world football. As well as the immeasurable levels of pride that are at stake with today's game, there is also a lot of money. If Gvardiol and Bono start, then they will definitely have a higher chance of maintaining the record. The midfielder has been one of the best ballers of a generation, and he somehow does not look like slowing down.

If you're away from home in the UK, you can use a VPN like ExpressVPN to watch BBC iPlayer or ITVX (formerly ITV Hub) from anywhere. First, log into your streaming service subscription account and make sure the address registered for the account is an address in the correct viewing area. In some cases with smart TV services, after you install a cable network's sports app, you'll be asked to verify a numeric code or click a link sent to your email address on file for your smart TV. For Spanish-speaking US residents Peacock is airing all of the World Cup games live in Spanish. Second, some smart TVs -- like Roku -- don't have VPN apps you can install directly on the device itself. If you find yourself unable to view the match locally, that's where using a VPN can come in handy. You should be sure your VPN is set up correctly to prevent leaks: Even where VPNs are legal, the streaming service may terminate the account of anyone it deems to be circumventing correctly applied blackout restrictions. So if your internet provider or mobile carrier has stuck you with an IP address that incorrectly shows your location in a blackout zone, a VPN can correct that problem by giving you an IP address in your correct, nonblackout area. With a VPN, you're able to virtually change your location on your phone, tablet or laptop to get access to the game. The least expensive such service is Sling TV Blue. There is an option that doesn't require searching the internet for a sketchy website: You can use a [VPN](/tech/services-and-software/best-vpn/), or virtual private network.

With the score at 1-1, Morocco’s 18-year-old attacking midfielder Bilal El Khannouss, otherwise excellent on debut, lost the ball in transition. It is to the tournament’s detriment that a goal of this quality was scored in the third-place play-off, rather than a more meaningful fixture. No shame in that.
