Last games Croatia vs Canada
It is worth noting that this is Canada's first participation since the 1986 World Cup in Mexico, so it will be the first official clash between these two nations, but it will also be the first duel in history because they have never met in friendly matches.
Key Player Canada
If there is a player who has a huge thirst for revenge for what happened in the first game, it is the Real Madrid player Alphonso Davies, who missed the penalty against Belgium that could have given them the victory, at least partially in the first half and missed it; reason why he has a personal revenge with the mission to do things much better.
Key player Croatia
The man of talent for both recovery and generation and for the definition of plays with his good mid-distance shot is the Real Madrid player Luka Modric, who must have a greater participation with the ball and, as he himself said, they must improve collectively to be able to think about the victory, remembering that they are the current runners-up of the world.

What do Croatia and Canada need to do to qualify?
After the results obtained on the first matchday, neither country is assured of a place in the next round and with a loss they could be eliminated. In the case of Croatia there is a bigger margin considering that they already have a point, but they will close against the strongest rival in Belgium; while Canada shined in their debut but lost, but now they need to win to stay alive for the last matchday.
With their heads held high
Canada's technical director, John Herdman, who became the first coach in the world to direct a World Cup in both the women's and men's categories, said he was very happy with his pupils for the way they played against Belgium, even though they did not win the game and lost by the minimum difference, but he highlighted the work they did throughout the 90 minutes, especially in the first half when they dominated their opponents.
"With a performance like this, I am proud of what they did, really proud. They showed that they can play here. I'm not going to criticize them because when you beat Belgium you can't complain too much. Sometimes it's your night and sometimes it's not."
At the end of the game, he indicated that their way of playing will be analyzed by their rivals but that they will not change it because it is the way they have approached the games since the CONCACAF qualifiers and, in addition, he emphasized that the squad, beyond being sad, is strengthened by the good face they gave in their presentation at the Qatar 2022 World Cup.
"The teams will know what we do and how we go about our business, if we can be more ruthless in that attack we will get something out of these games. The group is wide open."
Finding greater creativity
Croatia head coach Zlatko Dalic stressed that while his team was dominant for much of the game, they lacked more creativity in the end zone to have been able to pull out a much better result than a 0-0 draw, which was the third scoreless draw so far at the World Cup.
"A tough game, we expected it, the opponent was good and compact, they prepared for us, they stood on the block, everyone was behind the ball. We knew that and "had a hand" a little bit, it seems to me that most of the players were afraid of mistakes, there was very little depth and vertical balls. We didn't know how to realize the situations we created, but we played with possession and control of the game. We lacked more determination and verticality.
Regarding whether the first match will help them to face Morocco, the coach argued that their focus is to score as many points as possible:
"I don't know how much more or less it can be, we know we have to win four or five points to get through the group."
The Kick-off
The Croatia vs Canada match will be played at the Internacional Jalifa Stadium, in Doha, Qatar. The kick-off is scheduled at 11:00 am ET.
