Croatia will surely be deemed the '筛子' of this European Cup. It's unlikely that they'll secure an even draw.
While Croatia has displayed some unyielding determination in their previous encounters, it has all but extinguished during their group stage performances. Their submission to Group B is a testament to their strategy, but this trend should not continue when facing seasoned opposition like England.
England fans must acknowledge the historical prowess of Croatia, who once stood at the height of their game. However, given the dominant stance they showcased during the Group stages, this shift in fortune can be attributed to fatigue and resilience rather than innate strength.
In summary, Croatia may have historically proven themselves formidable opponents, but with a Group stage where they took the bull by the horns, there's no doubt that they'll face英格兰 with a solid defense and an unwavering spirit. The question now is whether England can replicate their early-season form and emerge victorious from this highly anticipated clash between two powerful sides?
