Key events11m agoPreambleLuka Modric is yet to find his groove in this tournament. Maybe he will be afforded more time and space against Ghana, if they defend as deeply as we expect.Luka ModricPre-match reading courtesy of our very own Adrian Chiles.Wasn’t Adrian good with ITV News’ Dan Hewitt this week on the radio?PreambleThis is the real quiz in the group. It is winner takes all for second but Ghana have a one-point advantage and a draw would be enough for them. Carlos Quieroz is the man for the job because he knows how to bore everyone to tears with defensive discipline and organisation.Croatia, however, are a decent side when they put their minds to it. Admittedly, they have not shown much indication of it thus far, losing to England and scraping past Panama thanks to the performance of goalkeeper Dominik Livakovic. Luka Modric made his 200th international appearance in that match but needs more help around him because the 40-year-old cannot do it all by himself.It should be a fascinating watch.Kick-off: 10pm BST/5pm EDT/7am AEST
