Bosnia and Herzegovina has achieved a historic milestone, reaching the knockout stage of the World Cup for the first time. This advancement was made possible by Brazil's decisive 3-0 victory over Scotland in their final group C match. Brazil secured the top spot in the group with seven points, matching Morocco who also advanced.

The defeat of Scotland is also a significant boost for Croatia, currently third in Group L with three points. While Croatia aims for a win against Ghana to potentially secure second place, they may still advance as one of the best third-placed teams with just three points. A draw against Ghana would also likely see them through.

Further clarity on Croatia's progression will come from the matches between the Czech Republic and Mexico, and South Africa and South Korea. Croatia will be rooting for Mexico and South Korea to win, as victories for them would leave the Czech Republic with two points, ensuring they finish behind Croatia.
