    England VS Croatia The two teams last met in the World Cup eight years ago, when Croatia staged an extra - time comeback against England in the 2018 semi - finals. This time, England is eager for revenge. England, ranked 4th in the world with a total squad value of 1.36 billion euros, has a young and deep squad. They had a perfect record without conceding a goal in the World Cup qualifiers. Harry Kane is a reliable goal - scorer, Jude Bellingham's forward runs from the midfield are a major threat, and Bukayo Saka and Reece James offer strong attacking power on the flanks. Under Thomas Tuchel, the team plays a high - pressing game with a well - balanced attacking and defensive system. They are highly motivated to compete for the group's top spot. Croatia, on the other hand, has an experienced midfield led by Luka Modrić. Their ball - control, field - management, and tactical discipline are top - notch. Josko Gvardiol is a solid presence at the back. The team is good at slow - paced games and capitalizing on set - piece opportunities. However, due to their relatively high average age, their physical condition tends to decline after 60 minutes, and there is a significant gap in quality between the starting lineup and the substitutes. So, they may aim for a draw in this game to secure points. Visit Nowgoal.net to watch World Cup 2026 livescore & free live football streaming
