Croatia manager Zlatko Dalic has defended the ageing nature of his squad and pointed out these players have been more successful than England in recent years.

The two teams meet again on Wednesday night as they finally get their World Cup campaigns underway in Dallas.

There have been some huge matches between the nations over the years, most recently at the European Championship in 2021, which England won 1-0.

However, Croatia won the biggest game the teams have played, edging the 2018 World Cup semi-final 2-1 in Russia, with Dalic at the helm .
