Panama face Croatia as Modric chases history

Croatia tonight, and Modric makes history

Your second group game is here. Panama face Croatia Monday in Group L, and the spotlight is on Luka Modric, who becomes the first outfield player to appear in five World Cups (1)(2). Panama opened with a heavy loss to Ghana, and nothing less than a response will do. Carlos Queiroz, in his fifth straight World Cup, needs a performance.

Zlatan called you a punching bag, Ismael Díaz answered

The noise from outside has not stopped. Zlatan Ibrahimović dismissed Panama as a "punching bag" on Swedish television. Ismael Díaz shrugged it off, "Zlatan being Zlatan", but the squad has not forgotten (1). Tonight is a chance to make people shut up.

What to expect: Croatia's lineup and where to watch

Croatia are settled. Modric anchors midfield in a 4-3-3, with Gvardiol at the back and Kramarić leading the line (1). For Panama, Queiroz may adjust after the Ghana loss, more steel in midfield is likely. Kick-off times and broadcast details are in the full previews (1)(2).
