Croatia are beat up pretty bad after the quarters, England should be able to do the business.

Thats three of ours innit...to one of yours. You know mate I really think we ought to even up the average!
Mandzukic is Croatia's only striker.
Croatia will slow down the game and attempt to frustrate England. They are tired but their brains are higher power.

Croatia is going to be too tired to close out against England after their two long and arduous previous matches. The dream of Football Coming Home will not be stopped until the English meet the French.

Nature Abhors A Vacuum


Ref: Cuneyt Cakir (TUR)
AR1: Bahattin Duran (TUR)
AR2: Tarik Ongun (TUR)
4th: Bjorn Kuipers (NED)
Reserve AR: Sander van Roekel (NED)
VAR: Danny Makkelie (NED)
AVAR 1: Bastian Dankert (GER)
AVAR 2: Carlos Astroza (CHI)
AVAR 3: Felix Zwayer (GER)

Cakir had Morocco - Iran and Nigeria - Argentina and was excellent. Everyone remembers Cakir for sending off Nani that one time, right? For my money, Cakir is the best ref in the world at the moment and I am shocked he is not doing the final. I'm doubly shocked that Kuipers is his fourth official. I figured if not Cakir, surely Kuipers had earned it. I suspect it's probably between Ricci and Faghani, then. Shouldn't be any controversy from this ref crew, and Makkelie has been one of the top two most used VARs in the tournament so FIFA has a lot of trust in him.
