TRUMP CARDS:
LUKA MODRIC:
The Real Madrid star is 32 years old and his prime is almost over, but he is still a player that can make a big impact. He doesn’t rely on speed, just using his body to find space and get the attack going with pinpoint passes. He’s a top midfielder and will be the engine in the middle for the Europeans.
IVAN RAKITIC
The magnificent Midfielder of Barcelona, has good records for Club football as well International, Here he want to make score to his Nation.
DOMAGOJ VIDA
The 29-year-old defender is one of the more intimidating players at the cup. He is strong, agile and at times reckless. He must be focused, because he’s the top of guy with one silly challenge he gets a red card. He’s a darn good player, but he must be composed.
MATCH PREDICTION
No doubt, Croatia is kind of team which shown twice in a row that how to win in pressure game, other side England admitted that they also know how penalties match delivers into victory England vs Croatia match will be definitely Nail Bitting counter or World will not be surprise for the match go to penalties shootout.
