World Cup predictions, picks: Morocco vs. Croatia, Germany vs. Japan
Croatia are the favorites to win the World Cup. Morocco is a team built on the strength of its defense. The Atlas Lions have held 14 of their last 17 opponents to less than one goal. Croatia's team is older and their players are not as good as four years ago. Morocco has difference-makers to help handle Croatia and co. Luka Modric and Co. will be key. Germany's style is difficult for teams that play a lot of possession football. France and Germany are good teams. Canada and Morocco are less so. They play each other on Wednesday.
