  • 0' - Welcome to that hosts another battle between Croatia and Nigeria.
  • 5' - Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 10' - The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Ahmed Musa suffering a number of foals already.
  • 15' - We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
