The second game of the 2018 World Cup semi-final clash will see Croatia take on the England at the Luzhniki Arena in Moscow.

Croatia advanced to the semi-final after penalty victory against Russia in the quarter-final. There second consecutive penalty victory in the competition. The went behind one minute past the half hour mark (1-0), before Mandzukic leveled the score eight minutes later (1-1). Both side could not be seperated at full-time, to the game entered into extra time. Vida gave Croatia the lead (1-2) in the first-half of extra time, before they were dragged into penalties (2-2) five minutes from stoppage time.

This Croatian side have surpassed everyone's expectations-even theirs. They were on fire from the get go, but sadly it looks as though they are tiring as we can see in their last two games against Denmark and Russia. They lack the same intensity they showed in victories against Nigeria and Argentina were they didn't concede.

Luka Modric who was heavily involved in Real Madrid Champions win looks very much tired as he has been relied on to propel his countriy to victory. One can only hope the are well rested and refreshed as they come into this tie against England.

The Three Lions reach the semi-finals for the first time since 1990 after their (0-2) win against a defensive Swedish side. Harry Maguire gave England the lead at the half hour mark. Dele Alli headed home Jesse Lingard's cross to double the advantage for the English side as it ended (0-2) at full time.

It looks as if Gareth Southgate's master plan of taking the easier route to the finals after he reportedly lose to Belgium intensionally in the group stages.

England looks good going forward, with Harry Kane leading the attack alongside Lingard, Alli and Raheem Sterling . Sterling have been under serious critism for missing chance, but i think he will have a good game against a tiring Crotia side. In defense they have been shaky, conceding in four of their last five games.

Head to Head

This sides have met six times, in which England have won 4 times and loss twice. Their last tie was in the 2010 World Cup qualifying stage, were England Humbled Croatia (9-2) on aggregate.
