Despite having played 120 minutes in back-to-back World Cup games, Croatia coach Zlatko Dalic says fatigue will not be an issue against England's 'alive, attacking team' in Wednesday's semi-final.
Gareth Southgate's side are slight favourites to win the game at 7/5 to win in the 90 minutea and 4/6 to qualify overall. Croatia are 12/5 to win in normal time and 6/5 to make the final in any fashion.
England went the distance against Colombia before taking just 90 minutes to finish off Sweden, while Croatia have been forced to to go penaties on both games, against Denmark and Russia.
In both outings, but especially against Russia, the Croatians looked laboured and leggy as the game went on, but Dalic says that he trusts his side to be at full speed against England.
"Of course there is some power left for the English," said Dalic.
"We do not want to stop, we will try to play our best game. We have two matches to play and we are very motivated. We're giving our all. It will be a battle again but I trust us, I have belief in us."

Dalic admired the way the Three Lions handled their business in the 2-0 success over the Swedes.
He was reluctant to identify a favourite for the tie, though, highlighting how many of those fancied to win the competition before it began such as Brazil, Germany and Spain have already been ousted.
"They breezed past Sweden, they scored twice, they were better," Dalic added of England. "They have a young, alive, attacking team.
"There are no favourites in this World Cup - every game is 50-50 and you have to fight it out. The big teams are home. Those who are hard-working, compact, united, well-organised, they are here in Russia. This is the character of the four teams remaining in the tournament."
Croatia's wait to return to a World Cup semi-final has been shorter than England's 28-year absence.
Twenty years ago, in France, a Croatian team featuring Davor Suker, Slaven Bilic and Zvonimir Boban made the last four of the competition only to be beaten by the hosts, and eventual winners, despite taking the lead.
This is the first time they have reached the knock-out phase since - and they had to qualify for Russia via the play-offs - and Luka Modric reckons their good fortune is long overdue.
"It makes us extremely proud and happy that after 20 years we've reached the semi-final of a World Cup," the former Tottenham midfielder said.
"We took the difficult route, we were unlucky in previous major tournaments, particularly at Euros, but now we are collecting those debts at the World Cup this year.
"Hopefully we will go a step further than in 1998. We have all of the requisites for that - we have a great team, backroom staff, coach, and I hope we will be able to make that extra step to reach the final."
