I will say Croatia rose from grass to grace. Just take a look at how it happened, they started with Nigeria and they beat Nigeria 0-2, then they takes on Argentina and it was a shocking and embarrassing result as they beat Argentina 3 good nil 😂. With that rezult, i knew Croatia will go far and i so much believe in their midfield. Luka Modric and Ivan Rakitic combined so well, just imagine both of them playing for same cup, is definitely going to be bloody.

Haven't qualified for the round of 16, they dropped their regular starters for the final group stage match between Iceland. That match ended 2-1 in favour of Croatia. The round of 16 draws came up and they were drew to take on Denmark. They did and the game ended 1 vs 1 and they went on penalty shoot out. They won 3 vs 2 on penalty and that ushered them into the quarter final. They took on the host country in the quarter final and at a point I thought they are out but they manage to stage a come back and get a draw. They went on penalty and they beat the host country 4-3. This is definitely were their motivation becomes stronger and they were ready to throw in their best.

They were to take on England in the semi final and at a time, a lot has already said that the final is between England and France. At a time the France own is certain as i was sure they must beat Belgium. But the encounter was very strong.

The match between England and Croatia eventually kicks start and at first, infact between the 1st minute to 35th minute it was all England. I told my friends that England has failed to capitalise on Croatia weakness and they should pray not to pay for such.

England were just missing goal opportunities and that got my heart shattered. Assuming they capitalise on Croatia been afraid at the first quarter, they could have qualified.

Croatia got their positive vibes back and with that they were able to cancel out K.Trippier 5 minute goal as Perisic goal place Croatia on a settled ground. Now this became the game changer as Croatia became over confident and they started operating through the midfield. With this, England were no where to be found as they were just outplayed by The Croatia Midfielder.

Seeing the pressuring, i was really concerned for England but they survived it and were able to settle for a draw. They went into extra time and same raiding started with Croatia. I told my pals Croatia were trying to avoid penalty shoot out but it seems England were trying to settle for such.

Well to cut the long story short, the heart break for England came in just when needed by Croatia. It came at the 109th minute through Madzukic who smashes that shot passed J. Pickford. At this point the English team became shattered and that is what ended the match as Croatia beat England 2 vs 1.

With that result in place, it is now certain that Croatia will take on France for the first place position while England will take on Belgium for a fight for a third place spot.

The third place match will be played on the 14th of July, 2018 while the final will be played on the 15th of July, 2018. Saint Petersburg’s Krestovsky Stadium is set to host the playoff for the third place position whole the first place match will be played at Moscow, Luzhniki stadium to be precise.
so stay tune for update on that date
