It's a big chance for either side to make the quarter-final but particularly Japan who have never been there before. Croatia aren't as good as they were 4 years ago, a dreadful Belgium side were inches away from knocking them out.
 
Got a fancy for Japan but my predictions apart from England are woeful. Gonna nip up the Al Janoub and see if I can get a ticket outside. Top work MCFC1993 sorry I forget to hit likes.
 
I think that Croatia will win - they're a solid side.

Japan - it seems to me - have won due to the application of maximum pressure at certain points in the game. So far, this pressure has caused turnovers/misplays/attacking opportunities that their opponents couldn't handle.

Opportunistic maximal pressure might work against Croatia too... but I don't think so. Croatia are more talented by far and I expect them to advance.
 
Very even game. Croatia were kinda meh in the groups and here because they thrashed Canada. Japan have been way more impressive, but still Croatia have some excellent players all over the pitch.

I think this ends in a 1-1 draw and goes all the way to pens.
