With England look clear favourites here on the paper, but we all hope that will not be the case on the grass. England won their first ever penalty shoot-out against Colombia in Pre-quarter Final here in Russia 2018 and winning comfortably against Sweden. On the other hand, Croatia has already seen two penalty shoot out and have passed both the test.

This is where England have the advantage because the time to heal for Croatian players will not be enough. They were so tried in the second half of extra time that they don’t even bother to jump for the set-piece which made the score 2-2.

Belgium vs France: Preview

The other disadvantage for Croatia will be lack of support. Knocking out the host nation have reduced their support from home nation. With Croatia the underdogs their fan would be less in number to support them in the arena. This was the big advantage for England.

Croatia’s midfield and their Shot stopper are their super strong points. With Luka Modric, the playmaker playing all over the pitch and in good form gives Croatia a strong hand. We all as a football fan hope for some nail-biting finish and a thrilling encounter.

Bidding goodbye to Russia 2018

England looks sensational on the paper and are performing on the pitch in the same way too. They have lost a game to Belgium in the group stage playing their second choices. Croatia has all wins so far in the world cup playing semi-final after 20 years gap. The winners will be playing out France or Belgium in World Cup Finals on July 15th.
