Cramp Guardian? [19659014] This could be a problem for Croatia. Just before the stoppage, Danijel Subasic seemed to have a hamstring cramp and Croatia had no substitute. Subasic played after a coach visit, but this could be bad news as this match seems to be prolonged, and may be a penalty shot.
Russia free kick

Bye bye , Sochi
Fisht Olympic Stadium has brought some of the most memorable matches of this World Cup. Remember the 3-3 draw between Portugal and Spain? Or Portugal-Uruguay, or the break-up of Germany against Sweden? Hope that something as exciting this afternoon, the last game in Sochi this World Cup.
First Thoughts
Russia and Croatia close the game at the Olympic Stadium Fisht in a game that could test the patience of the spectators. The knockout stages of the two teams went in the back row, with Russia pulling from behind, beating Spain on penalties and Croatia pbading Denmark in the same way. The goals will certainly be in the foreground as both teams took and conceded less shots than the other six quarter-finals.
Croatia is right to be aggressive. His defense is solid, he has scored eight goals and has cashed only two – and the players are eager to get out of the shadows of their predecessors on the 1998 national team, the only team to have reached the semi-finals of the World Cup. This year's team has just as much talent, including a powerful midfielder who will be responsible for breaking Russia's defense. Meanwhile, Russia has only the slightest pressure to satisfy its enraged fans as host nation. Russians tend to fall back on more talented teams, which may well be an appropriate strategy against Croatia's talented defenders

Players to watch
Croatian midfielders Luka Modric and Ivan Rakitic may be the key to pbading the stubborn defense of Russia. The La Liga stars dominate the Croatian midfielder and excel both in possession and distribution of the ball (Rakitic is particularly good for the opening of the slopes), but neither of them has yet registered a pbad for this World Cup. Croatia is structured this way – Modric and Rakitic play center, and the team operates from behind the scenes – but if one or the other midfielder can break through to score or score a goal , Russia will be in trouble.
Russia, if the goals are above then Artyom Dzyuba and Denis Cheryshev are the players to watch. Dzyuba, an attacker, and Cheryshev, a midfielder, have three goals each up here this tournament
