They might just exhale here and have nothing left in the tank.
Croatia are a more skilled team, so unless Morocco maintains that exhausting defensive discipline that got them this far they're going to be in tough against Croatia.
And frankly, I could see Croatia after a very long and dignified period of success just not GAF about 3rd.

What makes him a special kind of star is his drive and grit. He'll be playing his 160th cap (or whatever it is) as hard as his 1st cap. He could have retired after Russia and everyone (especially his family) would have applauded him. Yet he chose to continue to grind for club and country instead of taking it easy.
Based on his Croatian language interviews post Argentina, he's super motivated to win 3rd.
And Croatia goes as he goes. He won't let anyone dilly dally on the pitch.
