For *possibly* the first time ever both teams can either reach a semi-final or be relegated at Wembley today.

After that fateful game in the summer, seeing Croatia being drawn in England’s group has seen them become international rivals once again.
The first game between these two was a dull 0-0 draw played out in front of an empty stadium in Rijeka but Wembley will be packed today.
And after humbling the USA 3-0 in an efficient if not spectacular display on Thursday, Southgate has lined up a full strength side for the Croats.
