Croatia vs Ghana - FIFA World Cup 2026 Simulation | EA FC 26 | Before The Real Game

The 2026 FIFA World Cup group stage reaches a tense climax as Croatia face Ghana in this fully realistic EA FC 26 simulation. Before the real game kicks off at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia, we simulate this winner-takes-all Group L Matchday 3 decider. Croatia — led by the legendary Luka Modrić in what could be his final World Cup — sit third on three points and must win to be certain of reaching the Round of 32. Carlos Queiroz's Ghana arrive in second place on four points, riding back-to-back clean sheets, and know that even a draw almost certainly sends the Black Stars through. It's Croatia's technical midfield quality and attacking desperation against Ghana's disciplined low block, with Joško Gvardiol, Andrej Kramarić, Antoine Semenyo, Iñaki Williams and captain Jordan Ayew all set to shape the outcome. Can Modrić's generation deliver one more decisive performance, or will Ghana hold firm to reach the knockouts for only the second time in their history? Watch the full realistic simulation unfold before the real match.
