Croatia

Croatia have reached the knock outs in spectacular fashion, beating Argentina, Iceland and Nigeria to top their group.

Denmark

Who are the players to look out for?

He’s captain for a reason: Luka Modric has long since displayed his talent at Real Madrid but he’s having the World Cup of his career thanks to a wonderful performance against Argentina.

Spurs star Christian Eriksen is Denmark’s talisman and one of the best midfielders in the Premier League.
