โก Quick Verdict
England against Croatia is a Nike-only contrast between bare-bones white minimalism and footballโs loudest checkerboard pattern. England strip the idea back to its cleanest form, while Croatia never need to apologise for being unmistakable from the first frame.
The 2018 World Cup semi-final keeps this fixture spicy enough on its own, even before you get into how wildly different the two shirts feel.
