The second semifinal is Croatia vs England. 

Head to Head

These 2 sides have met each other in previous 4 occasion, and England had upper hand on it. England have won 4 of them, lost 2 and drew one. In major tournament, they last met during Euro 2004 where England won 4-2, as Rooney scored 2 goals on that day.



Previous 5 meetings:

  1. England 4-2 Croatia in Euro 2004
  2. England 0-2 Croatia in Euro qualifying 2008
  3. England 2-3 Croatia in Euro qualifying 2008
  4. England 4-1 Croatia in World Cup 2010 qualifying
  5. England 5-1 Croatia in World Cup 2010 qualifying

Although England have upper hand in history, but Croatia is much improved side this time in World Cup. Croatia have scored in each and every matches they played in this world cup. Modric is the main man in the team, and lot will depend on him. England are high on confidence after convincingly defeating Sweden.

My Bet

England to win @2.30

England by far is better team as seen from their display against Sweden. I believe England will run out as winner by 90 minutes.
