Croatia is led by Real Madrid star Luka Modric. To go along with Modric, it has Chelsea's Mateo Kovacic, Tottenham's Ivan Perisic and Zenit St. Petersburg defender Dejan Lovren

Japan beat Spain with one of the signature – and controversial – goals of the tournament.

As the ball was rolling on the end line by the Spain goal, Kaoru Mitoma got his boot on the ball, flicking it to teammate Ao Tanaka, who knocked the ball into the goal. After a lengthy video review, it was ruled a goal.

Croatia comes into this match as a favorite.
