Villarato!
Nah. They're good. That's it. And Russia do OK against teams that don't really dominate. It's more evenly matched than people think.
France-England or France-Russia final is on the cards.

Croatians are too imbalanced. Modrić plays 1 great game in 3 or 4 and otherwise shows up to make one entry pass. It's good in a game that has no goals, but doesn't work otherwise. Also they're not that comfortable on the ball at all.
Bar another pieces of heroics from Rakitić or Luka, Russia will take this.
