In that memorable semifinal in Russia, Croatia edged the Three Lions in extra time thanks to a 109th-minute winner from Mario Mandžukić after Ivan Perišić's second half goal cancelled out a stunning free kick from England fullback Kieran Trippier.
The two sides have met twice since in the UEFA Nations League with England following up a scoreless draw with a 2-1 win back in November 2018. But England hasn't looked convincing in a pair of 1-0 friendly victories over Austria and Romania in the last week leading up to the Euros.

In its pre-Euro friendlies, Croatia played to a disappointing 1-1 draw with Armenia before losing 1-0 to top-ranked Belgium.
England, which sits fourth in the FIFA world rankings, will enter the Euros as a major contender its entire group slate being played at Wembley Stadium in London, which will also be the site of the semifinals and final.
