Groups E and F saw shocking results on Thursday, which means seven of the eight teams can still qualify for the Knockout Stage, and no team has advanced. After beating Germany, Japan somehow lost 1-0 to Costa Rica, a team that had just lost 7-0. Yet the biggest shocker may have been Group F favorite Belgium and their total lack of offense which led to their 2-0 loss to Morocco.
Group F: Croatia vs. Belgium (Ahmad bin Ali Stadium, Al Rayyan; 6 p.m.)
Pre-tournament, Croatia and Belgium were the favorites to advance from Group F, and yet, there is almost no chance that both teams make it out of the group. Croatia is definitely in a better spot than Belgium, as a tie in this match would send them on to the next round.
