Good evening and welcome to Mother Russia, pilgrims.
England have been brilliant under a determined Gareth Southgate who has been a joy to watch, interacting with fans and moulding a very young England side into what could potentially already be World Beaters.
Harry Kane is currently sitting top of the goal scoring charts with 6 goals in his 4 World Cup games, 3 of them may have come from the spot but the other 3 were just a matter of being in the right place at the right time.
A man that is the number 1 breakthrough of the England squad Harry Maguire has looked like a future staple of the back line, his consistent threat in the air has been the biggest attacking option England have had.
This game proves to be a tight match but after seeing the fatigued Croatia side of the last couple of games there’s a brilliant opportunity for England to get to the final.
