Perišić isn't taking Ghana lightly at all 👀
That encoding came through a bit messy, but the message is clear: Croatia know they’re in a must-win spot vs the Black Stars on Saturday in Philadelphia.
*What Perišić said*
He called Ghana “a good, compact team that played in a low block” in both matches so far. And with Ghana already through, he’s warning Croatia to “be ready for anything” because the Black Stars might rotate or change shape now that qualification is sealed.
*Group L math going into Matchday 3*
1. *England* - 4 pts, +GD
2. *Ghana* - 4 pts
3. *Croatia* - 3 pts
4. *Panama* - 0 pts
So Ghana are guaranteed a Round of 32 spot regardless. Croatia need at least a draw to stay alive, but a win would be safest.
*Ghana’s run so far*: 1-0 over Panama, then 0-0 vs tournament favourites England. That defensive discipline is exactly what Perišić is talking about.
Big game for both sides. Croatia will be desperate, Ghana will be playing free. Should be a proper battle.
You backing the Black Stars to make it 2 wins + 1 draw in the group?
