On the other side, the chequered team answers with competitive character, composure on the ball and a reading of the game that squeezes every single possession. Runners-up in Russia and third in Qatar, they no longer catch anyone off guard. In a group stage where every point is gold, this showdown feels like a win-or-go-home knockout tie.
