Analysis
England enters as favorites with stronger offensive options and ranking advantage, but Croatia's tournament pedigree and midfield craft under Modrić make them dangerous counterattackers. England likely dominates possession and territorial control, but Croatia's defensive discipline and quick transitions could yield 1-2 clinical strikes, resulting in an open, attacking contest favoring England but vulnerable to upset.
