Croatia beat Russia 4-3 on penalties in their World Cup quarter-final in Sochi on Saturday and will face England in the semi-final match in Moscow on Wednesday.

"England have a very good team, they have a lot of young players," Dalic said.

"They played well against Sweden, they have [midfielder] Raheem Sterling, it's a very fast footballer.

"The game will be tough and we respect our opponent, but we're not afraid of anyone, even if it's England."

The 2018 FIFA World Cup kicked off on June 14 and will continue until July 15, with the final set to be played at Moscow's Luzhniki Stadium.
