Group D concludes on Tuesday night with Croatia taking on current holders Spain at the Nouveau Stade de Bordeaux. Croatia’s sole victory against Spain was a 2-0 friendly triumph in 1994

Spain’s emphatic 3-0 win over Turkey sealed their qualification into the Round of 16, although first place is not quite wrapped up yet. A win for Croatia would see them finish as group winners, while a draw would be enough to guarantee second place.

If Czech Republic fail to beat Turkey in the group’s other match, kicking off at the same time, Croatia would still finish at least second regardless of their result against Spain.

Nolito was given another start following a disappointed performance in Spain’s first game. The Celta forward repaid the faith shown in him by Del Bosque by bagging a goal and and an assist, while striker Alvaro Morata scored a brace. David Silva and Andres Iniesta also starred in a perfect performance.

The victory extended Spain’s unbeaten run at the Euros to 14 matches, setting a new record. Spain have conceded just one goal in their last 18 hours & 18 minutes of football at the tournament.

Croatia squandered an opportunity to wrap up qualification after giving away a 2-0 lead to draw 2-2 with Czech Republic in one of the tournament’s most entertaining matches. Ivan Perisic opened the scoring before Ivan Rakitic doubled the lead for Croatia.

The game was marred by some crowd trouble from a section of Croatian fans who threw flairs onto the pitch.

Speaking after the game, Croatia manager Ante Cacic insists that Luka Modric’s withdrawal against Czech Republic was just a precaution. “Luka Modric is just tired and had a stretched muscle problem,” Cacic said post-match. “Luka is the most important player for us.”

Croatian trio Mateo Kovacic, Modric and Rakitic all play club football in Spain and will be very familiar with their opposition.

Should either side finish second, they’ll face confirmed Group E winners Italy at the Stade de France on June 27.

Possible XI

Croatia: Subasic, Srna, Jedvaj, Vida, Strinic, Badelj, Kovacic, Brozovic, Rakitic, Perisic, Mandzukic

Spain: De Gea, Juanfran, Sergio Ramos, Pique, Alba, Busquets, Koke, Iniesta, Lucas Vazquez, Morata, Nolito

Hmmm.. I don't see croatia performing more than Espana o.. Although I want Rakitic to stand out.. I've always loved his light touch football pattern.. Real asset for Barca..

Then there's a team who has my role model.. The definition of a midfielder! Andres Iniesta!


I see spain winning this one!

Spain can be the Hardest team to play against... Their passing skills is second to none... They can pass the ball around for 15mins non-stop and then Iniesta(The Godfather) will make an Incisive pass that'll leave yo defense wondering what really went wrong....
