A repeat of their 2018 semi-final: England against Croatia. England arrive among the favourites, finalists at the last two European Championships and desperate to end the long wait for a major trophy, with Harry Kane and Jude Bellingham leading a golden generation.
Croatia, 2018 finalists and third in 2022, refuse to fade — and in Luka Modrić they still have one of the game's great orchestrators in what is surely his final World Cup.
