Japan toppled 2 of football superpower so far vs 2018 World Cup Runner Up Croatia!
In the upset-filled World Cup in Qatar, Japan has toppled two football superpowers in the group stages — paralysing Germany and later Spain — and now sets their sights on a scrappy Croatian squad, the 2018 World Cup runners-up, who have never lost a first knockout-stage game.
Croatia, tournament favourites who have already netted two draws and a win to secure their spot in the Round of 16, will need to contain the speedy and devastating pace of the Samurai Blue on Monday evening.
Japanese centre-back Kou Itakura is suspended from the game after picking up two yellow cards. It could be Croatian skipper and Real Madrid midfielder Luka Modric’s final game of his career if the small but mighty Adriatic nation cannot overpower an unpredictable Japan.
