What to expect from England
England head into the World Cup with one of the most potent attacking squads of the tournament. Kane, Bellingham and Saka lead a side once again carrying the historic pressure of fighting for a major international trophy.
Watch out for: the Bellingham-Kane link between the lines. If England find that connection quickly, Croatia will struggle to close down the middle of the park.
What to expect from Croatia
Croatia keep much of the competitive core that has defined their best international era. Modrić's experience and the team's tactical know-how still make the Balkan side an extremely difficult opponent in long tournaments.
Watch out for: Modrić's tactical reading. Croatia always find spells in the match where they control the rhythm, and that's what they need to wait for English mistakes.
The stadium: Lincoln Financial Field
Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia is known for the intense atmosphere generated by the NFL Eagles' fans. Although it was built as an American football stadium, it has hosted major international football matches and stands out for the closeness between the stands and the pitch.
