After its very good performances, Croatia easily passed to the 16 'in the group stage. But where they did not make an equally convincing appearance, against the tough Danish team. So the ticket for the next phase was judged on penalties, where the Croatians were more accurate and got the qualification (3-2). A similar scenario in the 8 'for the Croatians where with the opponent the host Russia it remained at 1-1 in the regular time of the match, neither the extra time managed to come out a winner, since both scored again (2-2 extra time) and were led to the penalties . Where again the winners came out with (3-4). It has a mix of quality and talented footballers, most of whom play in top teams in Europe. The names of Modric, Rakitic, Mandzukic, Perisic can certainly not leave anyone indifferent. Certainly the only negative factor for Zlatko Dalic's team is the strain on its players after the last matches.
On the other hand, the English team managed to get here, leaving out the Colombians in the 16 φά phase in the penalty shootout (3-4), with the regular duration of the match ending with both (1-1). In the quarterfinals he got an easier qualification with 0-2 from the Swedes with the goals of Maguire and Dele Ali. Surely the road for G. Southgate's team is more passable for the final, where he avoids the big names. Top scorer in the tournament is Harry Kane having scored six goals. It is a team with many runs and with very good operation in the set phases. Surely Zlatko Dalic has to deal with the fatigue factor that has hit the team after two consecutive 120΄ minutes of play. England makes a lot of runs and is very effective in the set phases. The fact that she has not played with a better theoretical opponent and how she will present herself in such a match scares me to follow her. Lead on both sides scoring.
