Sibongiseni’s picks

Just 90 minutes. That is technically what separates either Croatia or England from a spot in the final of the 2018 Fifa World Cup. The two meet at Luzhniki Stadium in Moscow tonight. The match starts at 8pm and picking a winner in this match is quite a task because both are quality sides and have worked really hard to get to this stage.

I am inclined however to go with the Three Lions based on their better defensive record in this tournament and that they have variety in attack unlike the Blazers who are not so impressive. And the way they conceded against Russia in the quarterfinals left a lot to be desired.

But football is a strange game and stranger things have happened. This should be a highscoring game that will not go to extra time and if Raheem Sterling finds his scoring touch, England should easily pip Croatia and go through to the final.

Croatia v England. Previewed above England win = 3 Olimpija Ljubljana v FK Qarabag. Should be easy for Qarabag Qarabag win = 3 Glanavon FC v Molde. No winner here Draw = 2 Valur Reykjavik v Rosenborg. Important for both Draw = 2 New York City v Montreal Impact. Home side to win NY City win = 1 Chicago Fire v Philadelphia Union. Union to set Chicago on fire
