For which team does your heart beat stronger? The Polish diaspora in Norway are Slavs, so theoretically Croatia is closer to us. Above all in terms of culture and language. In turn, England is considered the cradle of football and, as English fans sing - "Football is going home!". Below is a brief description of each team.
Chorwacja
The team from Croatia started their struggles in this year's World Cup in group D, which did not have an unambiguous favorite. Argentina was as strong as ever, phenomenal Iceland and young and promising Nigeria. The Croatians went through the group stage without any major obstacles - they left their group with a complete set of 3 points and a great goal balance: 7 scored and only 1 conceded.
It wasn't that easy in the knockout phase. In the 1/8 finals they defeated Denmark, but only after a series of penalties. They had a similar problem with the quarter-finals, in which they faced the hosts of this year's World Cup - Russia, which they also eliminated only in the penalty shoot-out series.
