Croatia playmaker Luka Modric has warned his team-mates not to expect a repeat of their heroics from the last World Cup, when the country of just over four million punched above their weight to reach the final. “Whatever we’ve been through during the 2018 World Cup was an unforgettable experience, but we need to put it aside and focus on what is ahead of us,” said Modric.
The Croatia vs Morocco match is at 3:30 pm,.
Germany vs Japan
Germany begins its path to World Cup redemption on Wednesday after the 2018 horror show in Russia. As defending champions, Germany crashed out in the group stage in Russia, suffering their earliest World Cup exit since 1938.
The Germany vs Japan match is at 6:30 pm, India time.
Spain vs Costa Rica
Spain faces Costa Rica in the third match.

The Spain vs Costa Rica match is at 9:30 pm, India time.
