Croatia came close to winning the recent world cup in Russia and this shows that the team is organized, looking at how they played even against strong opponents like Argentina. One thing I admire most about this team is their fighting spirit.  

Looking forward to seeing their match today, though the odds are in favour of Spain, I wouldn't want to write-off Croatia so easily.

I think the Croatian team has composure inside and wouldn't really miss the sudden retirement of Mandzukic from international duty.

Well, my prediction for the match is both teams to score. 

Also, Spain won against England, few days ago and will also want to put in their very best against Croatia. 

Both teams have both attacking and defensive strength and will definitely make this match an interesting one. 

My prediction for the match is both teams to score.
