FIFA World Cup 2018: When and where to watch Spain vs Russia and Croatia vs Denmark, coverage on TV and live streaming on SonyLIV

Fernando Hierro doesn’t want to know about Spain’s horrible history of playing the hosts of major tournaments as his side prepare to face Russia in the World Cup last-16 in Moscow on Sunday. “Records are there to be broken,” the coach told a reporter on Saturday who told him that Spain have never beaten a host at the World Cup or European Championship.

Why are we looking at the past? It’s all about Sunday, 5 pm. Everything else is completely irrelevant.” Most painfully in recent memory, Spain lost to South Korea on penalties in the 2002 World Cup. They were also beaten by Portugal in Euro 2004 and by England — on penalties — at Euro 96. Croatia vs Denmark Croatia’s coach and captain hailed their “fantastic” World Cup so far and declared themselves ready to beat Denmark on Sunday in a quest to emulate their predecessors’ greatest triumph two decades ago. Free-flowing Croatia romped through the group stage with three wins out of three, setting up the last-16 clash with the Danes at the same Nizhny Novgorod Stadium where nine days ago they stunned Lionel Messi’s Argentina 3-0.
