Morocco is the underdogs in its group. It has matches with Croatia, Belgium and Canada. Croatia is looking to win against Belgium to advance to the knockout rounds. Morocco is hoping to have a point or three in their pockets before the final game against Canada, which is also a group finale.

Morocco has lost just once since March. They beat Chile and Ghana this year. Morocco beat Georgia 3-0 on Thursday.

Croatia is the definition of a tournament team with several national legends at the end of their careers. Only six players on the roster are under 25.

Germany and Japan are playing each other in Al Rayyan on Wednesday. Croatia qualified automatically from UEFA. Hansi Flick's team lost 2-1 to Canada on Thursday. Japan is good but its recent results have not been good enough.

Japan's team is going to play Germany in the 2023 World Cup. Shuto Machino scored thrice in his first four caps. Takuma Asano, 28, has seven goals in 37 caps, but Shutomu Kubo, Karou Mitoma, and Ritsu Doan have 11 goals each in 60 caps and they're a dangerous attacking unit.

Spain and Costa Rica are playing each other on Wednesday. Spain is one of the biggest underdogs in the tournament. Costa Rican youngsters are going to the World Cup for the first time. Japan qualified automatically from AFC. Japan has won 7 World Cups and one silver medal.

Spain has a lot of familiar faces eager to etch their names on the country's celebrated World Cup history. Barcelona-heavy roster has as many members of PSG and Manchester City as Real Madrid. The biggest question comes at forward, where Alvaro Morata and Pablo Sarabia are two of eight players over the age of 26.

Costa Rica's biggest argument for success comes from goalkeeper Keylor Navas. Sunderland's Jewison Bennette will be hoping to make his name.

Belgium takes on Canada at 2 pm ET Wednesday in Al Rayyan. Costa Rica is ranked 31 in the world and has won 5 World Cups. Canada has not qualified for any World Cup or Olympics since 1986. Belgium is expected to be a contender for the tournament title.

Belgium is a team with a lot of talent. Belgium's defense is strong. Canada's defence is not. Canada has underachieved in World Cup qualifying. Milan Borjan is spectacular but the Canadian defense has not been tested at any level near that of Belgium.
