This ought to be the freest* of money, as Croatia are objectively ten times better than Russia. If this game took place on neutral soil Croatia would be like 1/3. But it doesn't, and Russia are clearly pumped full of PEDs and will have a fanatical home support plus a set of terrified match officials who will go to any lengths to avoid making any calls against them.
I don't believe myself to be a conspiracy tard but I'm genuinely suspicious of the Russians and I'd much rather England play a much better Croatia team on fairly neutral turf than face Putin's boys in Moscow.
