In plain language
- Croatia are currently 4th in Group L on 0 points, with Panama left to play.
- A win over Panama sends Croatia through in most scenarios, but they may still need other results to go their way.
- A draw likely leaves Croatia dependent on the third-place ranking.
- A loss — especially by two or more — almost certainly eliminates Croatia unless several third-place teams collapse.
- Best result for Croatia: Croatia beat Panama + Ghana beat England + England beat Panama + Croatia beat Ghana.
- If Croatia finish third, qualification depends on being one of the eight best third-placed teams.
