Don't think either Croatia or England will be good enough to threaten France in open play so any chance they have will be set pieces.

Too bad about Mbappe though, phenomenal player but the antics are already gross.
It's weird to think but England may have the best shot for that reason alone - they have been deadly on set pieces and Southgate has had them really thinking differently in that area.

I feel like the France forwards and midfields would tear England apart though.

Croatia only really would have a shot because they have a midfield that can keep up with France but I think they would have a hard time creating in the final 3rd.

France will be heavy favorites in the final either way IMO.
