Ive been waiting for the Croatian midfield to snap into action as well, but I think the pressure is actually getting to this Croatia team. Their whole nation expects them to make it to the final (with the quality they've got) at least now and has done since the draw opened up. They have struggled badly against Denmark and Russia, that expectation is weighing heavy on them.I worry that it's only a matter of time before they click into gear and if they do then we're in big trouble.
But like you said, they haven't so far, maybe they just won't.
There will be more space vs England, but I do fancy us in a tight game because we've already exceeded all expectations. Even were we to get beat 4-0, the tournament would still go down as a resounding success for the country. This along with two 120 minute marathons for a significantly older Croatian team.
I'm optimistic.
