Croatia face another test of nerves when they take on a miserable Ghana side in the final round of Group L matches at the 2026 FIFA World Cup – and you can watch the match for free from anywhere.
Having reached the final in 2018 and the last four in 2022, Vatreni has been a slow burner in this tournament. An entertaining 4-2 defeat of England in their opening game was followed by a decisive 1-0 win over Panama, with inspirational captain Luka Modric winning his 200th senior cap. The game in Philadelphia is effectively a play-off to see who will qualify as runners-up from Group L – assuming England beat Panama in the second leg – and who will be confident of advancing as one of the best third-placed teams. Manager Zlatko Dalic will be confident and his side have come through plenty of high-stakes games in the past decade.
Beating Ghana is no small feat though, as England will tell you. The Black Stars held the Three Lions to a 0-0 draw in Boston on Tuesday as they kept their second consecutive clean sheet at this World Cup, following a 1-0 last-gasp victory over Panama. Ghana may even be feeling badly finished after Ezri Konsa appeared to foul Prince Kwabena Adu in the penalty area late on, but celebrated at full-time after effectively booking their knockout spot for the first time since reaching the quarter-finals in 2010. Carlos Queiroz’s men are just a point short of guaranteeing a second-place finish, which would almost certainly mean Colombia or Portugal in the last 32.
