England kit vs Croatia: Three Lions to wear white shirt in World Cup semi-final

1/53
Tom Dutton8 July 2018

England will wear an entirely white strip for Wednesday’s World Cup semi-final against Croatia.

The Three Lions progressed to the last four of the World Cup for the first time in 28 years with a 2-0 victory over Sweden on Saturday.

It was headed goals from Harry Maguire and Dele Alli which fired England into the last four and neither player was born the last time England reached this stage.

Gareth Southgate’s side wore red shirts, shorts and socks for the win over Sweden, following victories over Colombia and Tunisia in the same strip earlier in the competition.

They played in their white home shirt with navy shorts for the 6-1 thrashing of Panama and the narrow defeat to Belgium, which thrust England into the favourable side of the draw.

But for the first time this tournament England will wear white shorts to accompany their white home kit against Croatia.

As the home side, Croatia would traditionally wear red and white checks but both England jerseys clash with that strip. Zlatko Dalic’s side will instead wear their dark away kit with England in white.
