Chris Coleman admits his team face a huge task against Croatia. He told reporters: “I said before this camp we would need the six points from both games if we were to do anything looking upwards. It’s a tall order, but we want to win the game. We played ever so well against Scotland. Now Croatia are one of the best teams in the group. They are one of the strongest teams in Europe. It will be a difficult game, but we can’t sit back, it’s a home game and we’ve got to try and win it."
