Croatia coach Zlatko Dalic has said his side have already "managed to stop Messi" and so can cope with England's Harry Kane in Wednesday's semi-final.
The teams meet in Moscow to compete for a place in the 15 July final after Dalic's side overcame hosts Russia on Saturday.
Dalic identified top-scorer Kane and Raheem Sterling as threats in a team with "no glaring weaknesses".
"But we believe in our strengths," he said. "We don't fear England. He [Kane] is top scorer - he's not easy to stop. But we have top centre-backs. We managed to stop Messi and [Christian] Eriksen so hopefully we can stop Kane."
