The Croatia icon has stoked the fire ahead of the titanic semi-final clash between the two nations in Moscow on Wednesday
Croatia great Davor Suker believes his nation's semi-final opponents England were "lucky" to survive their last-16 clash against Colombia at the World Cup.
Gareth Southgate's men needed a penalty shoot-out to overcome Colombia in Moscow on July 3, before easing past Sweden in the quarter-finals.
Suker, now the president of the Croatian Football Federation (HNS), feels England were fortunate to get past Colombia.
"I watched England's game against Colombia at the Spartak Stadium in Moscow and you were lucky," Suker, who scored a record 45 goals for Croatia, told the Daily Mirror.
