Hi guys!
 For the national team of Belgium the World Cup has ended at a semi-final stage. It is excellent result for Martinez's team, but they could reach the final. The team has played not really well in a yesterday's match and team leaders have brought. Lukaku and De Bruyne were absolutely imperceptible in the field. Only Eden Hazard pulled all game and continued to play at the highest level. I don't want to comment on work of the judge... It is just horror. We wait for a match for the third place and the second finalist who will be defined today.

Croatia

 Croatian national team has appeared in very complex group, having Argentina, Iceland and Nigeria in rivals. However, in the quartet to Croats equal wasn't – Zlatko Dalich's group has serially beaten each of rivals, having secured the first place in group. In 1/8 finals Croatia came to Denmark and it was expected that the victory "checkerboard" will get easily, but it didn't happen. Dalich's team had to win back 120 minutes then to stand in a penalty series following the results of which Croatia also has appeared in a quarterfinal.
 In Sochi Croats were waited by the Russian national team which has subdued on this "FIFA World Cup" the devotion and a brilliant game in defense. The match initially didn't come easily to Croats who have been forced to recoup. Nevertheless, have gone to a break of team at the score 1:1, Croats have managed to give the answer the first 45 minutes. The main time of a match has ended with the same 1:1 then teams have exchanged goals in extra time. In a penalty series there was more precisely Croatia which has stepped in a semi-final.
 After a duel Dalich flatterly spoke of the rival and also has expressed confidence that his team will manage to be restored to a match with British. However, two matches 120 minutes with two series of after match penalties can hardly completely take place so fatigue of Croats can have an effect.

England

 English national team has taken the second place in group, having lost to reserve structure of Belgium in the third morning, having missed thereby leadership. In 1\8 finals Gareth Southgate's group was waited by Colombia which at the price of titanic efforts has got to itself the permit in the playoffs. England all match had essential territorial and game advantage and has naturally opened the account at the beginning of the second half. However, I haven't managed to hold a winning score to a final whistle – the rival used standard situation last seconds of a match. British were more successful in a penalty series, though were mistaken at execution of blows the first.
 In a quarterfinal England was waited by Sweden which has done a lot of noise on this "FIFA World Cup". The match developed very difficult for England, but Sautgeyt's group was come to the aid by the standard after which the defender has perfectly played on "the second floor". Further to British was to play much more comfortably – they carried out the fast attacks, one of which has ended with the second goal. Swedes had several opportunities for the answer, but the moments didn't use.
 On an after match interview Gareth Southgate has been very reserved in emotions, having said that his team has won nothing yet. The mentor of the English national team has expressed confidence in ability of the team to resist to any rival, and in it it is difficult not to agree with him - British on this "FIFA World Cup" show skill and character which wasn't shown already long ago.

Statistics and personal meetings

• In total teams met six times, and only in one match British couldn't hammer
• Croatia passes in each of the last three matches
• On this "FIFA World Cup" England has scored already 11 goals
• Croatian national team doesn't lose already nine a match in a row.
• England has won a victory in 7 of the last 9 matches.
• Any of the last five internal matches hasn't ended in a draw.

 English national team has advantage before the rival, Croats have been twice forced to play the playoffs 120 minutes. Dalich to carry out serious rotation has no opportunity – key football players he has nobody to replace simply, and pointed rotation will hardly strongly refresh play of the team. England doesn't show phenomenal soccer in this World Cup, but has already reached a semi-final. Team at Sautgeyt young, but already rather skilled, capable to achieve result. Besides, British have learned to use ideally scoring chances in those duels where the rival doesn't give too much space – Harry Kane and the company terribly work at others gate.

Croatia – England 2 with 2,25 for 8% of bank
