Suker: England plays with his heart
Davor Suker thinks England has a golden chance at this World Cup because she's finally playing with her heart – and not with his wallet.
The Croatian legend, now President of The National Federation was impressed by the three Lions facing Colombia tonight for a spot in the quarterfinals.
Croatia made it after crushing Denmark on penalties on Sunday. Asked if England could join them, Suker said, "Now, when I see English players, it's not the amount you earn per week." There are emblems and flags, and that seems to be more important. That's why you can be confident of your team now. I wish you good luck to beat Colombia.
"I wish the best in England because you are the World Cup winners, you are more hungry for it now, you have a better team than you had before.
" shirts, you have the flags and you have eleven warriors. What you must have to win it. "England has a better team now and we will see that against Colombia."
With a quarter-final against Russia for the weekend, Croatia and England are considered the two teams with the greatest chance in the lower half of the draw.
But Suker added, "I do not like the fact that we played more time, we would have had more opportunities to go (to the semi-finals) if we had not done it.
"But Russia also had extra time, coaches, doctors, players will find a solution to that."
The former Arsenal striker scored twice for his nation to Euro96 when it took place in England.
He believes this great chance for Gareth Southgate's men despite their massive workload each season.
Suker continued: I have said so many times that in England you have too many games. "At the end of May, when Manchester United, Arsenal or Liverpool play in the Champions League, you squeeze the players like a lime.
" I know that money is very important, but you have League Cup, FA Cup, international friendlies, extra time. There are so many. "
