Despite their defeat in their opening match of the 2026 World Cup, Croatia still dream of reaching the Round of 32 as the runners-up in Group L, facing Ghana today. With this in mind, fans are keeping a close eye on the presence of Luka Modrić, as he could make the difference. Croatia disappointed in their opening match of the 2026 World Cup, losing 4–2 to England. However, they managed to keep their hopes alive by defeating Panama. Looking to secure their place as the runners-up in Group L, they face Ghana in their final group-stage match. Needing a victory, fans are closely watching the status of Luka Modrić in Zlatko Dalić’s team. Luka Modrić will start for Croatia, as he is fully fit and has no suspensions pending. As the central figure of the team’s play, head coach Zlatko Dalić could hand him a starting role for the third consecutive match, looking to dominate possession and limit Ghana. Despite already being 40 years old, he remains one of the tournament’s best midfielders, standing out for his vision, passing, and physical consistency. Alongside Modrić, Croatia will start Mateo Kovacic and Martin Baturina, looking for physical strength in midfield while also having the quality to control the tempo of the game. Likewise, Marin Pongracic and Josip Šutalo will complete the defensive line. However, Ivan Perišić and Josip Stanišić will once again be key in exploiting the space behind Ghana’s defense, finding space and taking advantage of their goalscoring ability. Ghana could cause Croatia significant problems, as they combine a solid defensive style with a highly efficient attack. Head coach Carlos Queiroz builds his team from the back to the front, relying on a low defensive block in their first games in the 2026 World Cup. However, they excel on the counterattack, breaking quickly through Kamaldeen Sulemana and Antoine Semenyo. Alongside them, Jordan Ayew will be crucial in the goalscoring side. Petar Musa #26 of Croatia celebrates with teammates. Croatia confimed lineups vs Ghana As one of the most impressive national teams of the last few years, Croatia arrive as the favorites to defeat Ghana. To do so, head coach Zlatko Dalić is expected to maintain his attacking approach, with a crowded midfield led by Luka Modrić. However, defensive consistency will be crucial, as their opponents excel on the counterattack and could cause them significant problems. With this in mind, Croatia will lineup as follows: Dominik Livakovic; Josip Stanišić, Josip Šutalo, Marin Pongracic, Ivan Perisic; Luka Modric, Mateo Kovacic; Nikola Vlasic, Petar Sucic, Martin Baturina; Petar Musa. Ghana confirmed lineups vs Croatia After surprising in their opening matches of the 2026 World Cup, Ghana will be looking for their second victory to secure qualification as the runners-up in Group L. To do so, they could repeat the same approach they used against England. However, their main challenge will be in attack, as being efficient on the counterattack will be vital if they are to score. With this in mind, Antoine Semenyo will need to shine in the attacking department. Considering this, Ghana will play as follows: Benjamin Asare; Marvin Senaya, Jonas Adjetey, Derrick Luckassen, Gideon Mensah; Thomas Partey, Elisha Owusu, Kwasi Sibo; Kamaldeen Sulemana, Jordan Ayew, Antoine Semenyo.
With Declan Rice nursing a knock, his midfield partner is the reliable rock to which team’s fate is inescapably yokedElliot Anderson is running. It’s the 88th minute against Croatia, and the game is won, and the game is done, and this is the 60th game of his season and there are deeper challenges to come. But as long as the ball is loose, he’s going to chase it down: first Josip Sutalo and then Josko Gvardiol, a simple recycling of defensive possession rapidly mutating into an unpleasant ordeal. As the ball is worked across defence, Anderson single-handedly follows it all the way across the pitch, over to the far touchline, where he eventually forces a rushed pass and a turnover of possession.And in an opening win defined by mood swings and tectonic shifts, in a team savouring the wealth of options and contingencies at its disposal, it’s worth dwelling on just how quickly Anderson has become indispensable. Declan Rice is carrying a knock and looks a little short of gas. Harry Kane will almost certainly not have the legs to play eight full games plus extra time. The wingers, the centre-half pairing, the full-backs are not yet set in stone. Beyond Jordan Pickford, virtually every area of this team is operating in a kind of managed flux. Continue reading...
The way substitutes combined for the fourth goal against Croatia vindicated Thomas Tuchel’s desire to instil a brotherhood ethosIt is Bukayo Saka who ignites the move. Tight to the right, approaching halfway, the England winger turns on a sixpence and surges away from Josko Gvardiol. Saka’s work in tight spaces, his close control, is a consistent delight.He plays a pass up and inside for Morgan Rogers and, at this point, Djed Spence is running on the outside. Rogers looks for him but Nikola Vlasic slides in to challenge and the ball breaks. Saka is alive to it, slicing inside and beating Josip Sutalo. England sense the knockout blow because Saka has options, the best being Marcus Rashford over to the left. Croatia have only Josip Stanisic back. Saka goes to Rashford, who steadies himself, jinks inside Stanisic and sidefoots low into the bottom corner. Continue reading...
England face Croatia in their 2026 World Cup debut. With both teams being highly competitive, fans are closely watching Harry Kane’s status, as his goal-scoring ability could be key for the opening match of Group L. England and Croatia face each other in their 2026 World Cup debut, aiming for the first win of Group L. As both national teams are highly dominant, the match is expected to be very competitive, with the midfield likely to be the main focus. Against this backdrop, head coach Thomas Tuchel could place all his hopes on Harry Kane’s goal-scoring power. For this reason, fans are closely watching the status of the 32-year-old striker. Harry Kane will start in England’s opening match vs Croatia. Being in peak physical condition, head coach Thomas Tuchel would look to take advantage of his strong form, as he comes from excelling at Bayern Munich. Beyond his goal-scoring power, the 32-year-old striker is key to the collective structure, as he is capable of creating chances for his teammates and enhancing their overall performance. Alongside Kane, Tuchel will opt for Noni Madueke and Anthony Gordon on the wings, looking to exploit Croatia’s defensive line. In addition, Jude Bellingham will start as the attacking midfielder, playing a key role in covering the attacking phase when Harry drops into midfield. Moreover, the duo of Declan Rice and Elliot Anderson is set to help cut off the opposition’s progression, with Nico O’Reilly potentially contributing from the left-back position. Led by Luka Modrić, Croatia will make their 2026 World Cup debut. Head coach Zlatko Dalić has managed to rebuild the squad, betting on players such as Martin Baturina and Petar Sučić. In addition, the wing-backs will look to take advantage of England’s high press, giving prominence to Josip Stanišić. Against the opponent’s offensive power, Joško Gvardiol and Luka Vušković are expected to be key, with their physical strength and solidity. Luka Modric of Croatia is challenged by Jordan Henderson of England during the 2018 FIFA World Cup. England confirmed lineup vs Croatia After finishing unbeaten in the UEFA qualifiers, England arrive as clear favorites to beat Croatia. Head coach Thomas Tuchel will rely on Harry Kane to boost the attacking output. In addition, the midfield will look to generate numerical superiority, with Declan Rice and Elliot Anderson. However, Gordon and Madueke on the wings would be key to breaking through the opposition’s defense and scoring goals. With this in mind, England will lineup as follows: Jordan Pickford; Reece James, John Stones, Ezri Konsa, Nico O’Reilly; Declan Rice, Elliot Anderson; Noni Madueke, Jude Bellingham, Anthony Gordon; Harry Kane. Croatia confirmed lineup vs England Croatia have managed to remain a highly competitive national team. Head coach Zlatko Dalić could keep Luka Modrić as a starter, in a more advanced role as a free attacking midfielder. Supporting the midfield, Mario Pasalic, Petar Sučić and Martin Baturina will emerge as key players. In addition, Joško Gvardiol and Luka Vušković are the leaders of the defense, looking to stop Harry Kane’s scoring threat and England’s attacking power. Considering this, Croatia will play as follows: Dominik Livakovic; Josip Šutalo, Luka Vušković, Josko Gvardiol; Josip Stanišić, Petar Sucic, Luka Modric, Ivan Perisic; Mario Pasalic, Martin Baturina, Petar Musa.
