Match Preview: What’s at stake?
With Group Stage Matchday 1 underway, one of the tournament’s marquee showdowns arrives early as Croatia and England square off in a matchup that could have major implications for the race to the top of the group. A win, tie or loss could shape the rest of the group stage for Croatia and England.
Croatia enters after its impressive third-place finish at the last World Cup, with veteran star Luka Modric leading a squad eager to match—or exceed—that achievement on the sport’s biggest stage as Croatia holds the 11th spot in the FIFA world ranking.
England, meanwhile, is widely viewed as a serious title contender thanks to a talent-rich roster headlined by Harry Kane. For both sides, a strong start is crucial, and will go for the victory.
