The second semi final between England and Croatia will be played today at the Luzhniki stadium. For the first time since 2004, England and Croatia are meeting in a major competition Gareth Southgate’s side made it to the semi-finals after seeing a 2-0 victory over Sweden, while Zlatko Dalic’s side passed the quarter-finals on penalties against the host Russia. Other than 1998, never before had the Blazers (Croatia) saw their side in the last four, which is a great news for their fans. Also, what makes the things even more worst for England is that Luka Modric and army have lost only one of their last 6 knockout matches at the World Cup finals. This World Cup in Russia is producing too much of joy for England. Under the leadership of Harry kane, England have scored 11 goals in Russia, which is equal to their 1966 World Cup winning tally of 11. Stopping Croatia before the penalties will be a crucial job for England, as they are now the only team with Argentina to win two penalty shootouts in a single World Cup. While for Croatia, handling Spurs striker Harry kane must be the main objective. The Three Lions striker has scored six goals at the 2018 FIFA World Cup, which is the most scored by any player in Russia till the date.
