Watch Spain Vs. Morocco 2018 FIFA World Cup Live Stream: Start Time, Preview, How To Watch Online
Spain, the 2010 FIFA World Cup champions and among the strong favorites to take home the 2018 version of the coveted Cup, find themselves in a precarious position on Monday when they face a Morocco side with absolutely nothing to lose but their pride in the finale of Group B play which will live stream from Kaliningrad, Russia. With only four points on the FIFA table heading into the final match, level with Portugal, Spain must manage at least a draw against the already-eliminated Moroccans in order to guarantee that they will move on to Round 16, when the tournament switches to a win-or-go-home, single-elimination format.
But Spain Coach Fernando Hierro says that he believes his side must win the game to make sure they move on, according to the BBC.
“This is the World Cup, and not one single game is going to be easy. We can improve, and I hope we will keep winning while we do so, but nobody is giving anything away easily,” says the 50-year-old former Real Madrid captain.
“In certain groups teams have already qualified but our group is very tough. We have no option but to secure all three points against Morocco.”

Spain and Morocco have faced each other only two times ever — and both matches came 57 years ago, according to the historical soccer site 11v11. The two countries met in the World Cup qualifiers that year, in an era when European and African teams competed in a single qualifying group. Spain took both matches to win the qualifier on aggregate, 4-2
But that was more than a half-century ago. In 2018, Morocco heads into its first meeting the World Cup final tournament with Spain hoping to end its tournament on a strong note, as Coach Herve Renard told the BBC.
“Our focus is to finish stronger against Spain. That is what is on our minds now. We have qualified for the World Cup for the first time after 20 years and we have shown that we can play football.”
But in Spain they face a formidable foe — a team that has not tasted defeat in their last 22 matches, winning 15 and drawing seven over that span, as 11v11 records.
