We're about to see the final games of one of the most exciting World Cups unfold. Whether you're rooting for the soccer giants France and Argentina, waiting to see Croatian veteran Modric take the cup home, or hoping Morocco makes history as the first African champions, you can show your support by playing chess!

Head over to our Play Computer and play the four World Cup Country Bots before they go away on Sunday after the final!

You can play against the four World Cup finalists: Argentina, Croatia, France, and Morocco—all with the same rating but each with a different playing style.


Argentina

Playing strength: 1000

Argentina has won two previous World Cups and finished second three times. They're one of the favorites to win this year, led by the creative genius of Lionel Messi, one of the greatest soccer players of all time. Can you defeat this combative and creative team?

France

Playing strength: 1000

France has also won two World Cups, including the last one. With a team full of talented players and Kylian Mbappe's speed and precision, they're also among the favorites to win it all. How will you do against this speedy team?

Croatia

Playing strength: 1000

Croatia has never won a World Cup but knows what it's like to be in the final—they finished second in the last edition of the event after losing to France. With the talented and experienced Luka Modric leading the squad, they're ready for another shot at the gold. Do you think you have what it takes to beat this resilient team?

Morocco

Playing strength: 1000

The first African and Arab team to reach the semifinals, Morocco surprised the world after eliminating Spain and Portugal. The underdogs of the World Cup have already made history but aren't ready to go home just yet. With a solid defense that let only one ball hit their net (including in the penalty kick decision against Spain), prepare to work extra hard to break down their position.

Who do you think will win the world cup? Let us know in the comment section below!
