Why we called it

Croatia went into the final matchday needing a win to qualify (3 points, -1 goal difference), while Ghana were already through on 4. The call rested on three points: 1) no Croatian rotation, do-or-die, against a Ghana side that could afford to rest players; 2) Croatia's greater attacking output (3 goals in the group vs Ghana's 1); 3) the flagged risk was exactly Ghana's 'wall' — the group's best defence with 0 goals conceded. The match followed the script: Croatia ahead, Ghana levelling late, and Croatia retaking the lead straight away with a header from a corner.
