GunmaN1905 Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 Kramarić for Brozović, lineup from the game against Nigeria. I don't think it's going to work that well. Allowing Brozović or Rakitić to make forward runs instead of limiting them into defensive roles would be better because both of them have good shooting ability. Like this, both Modrić and Rakitić will be limited. But on the other hand, Russia lacks quality, similar to Sweden. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CFuller Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 Though I consider Croatia to be far stronger than Russia, I'd rather play the chequered ones than the hosts. Croatia to win 2-0. Modric to shine again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

git2thachoppa Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 Croatia sacked their manager before the final game of quaifying, needing a draw away in Ukraine just to get a playoff place. They won 2-0, won the first leg of the playoff 4-1 before a 0-0, won the group stage with 3 wins and a 3-0 over Argentina, now they're aiming for a World Cup semi...

Rebs Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 Both sides here pose problems for us, albeit different problems of course. So, I'm happy with either winning. Croatia I kind of have a sift spot for, but Russia winning would be ace for their fans and they have hosted a truly fantastic tournament. Hope it's just a good game really.
