Croatia boss Zlatko Dalic has praised England following their UEFA Nations League defeat on Sunday by saying "it's coming home very soon".
The Three Lions ran out 2-1 winners over the Vatreni at Wembley to secure their place in the semi-finals of the competition and relegate their opponents.
Croatia beat England in the semi-finals of the World Cup last summer and made it clear afterwards that they were irked by talk around England of 'football coming home'.
However, Dalic has now suggested that Gareth Southgate's team have the chance to win silverware.
"They have a young and fast team. It's coming home, very soon," he told Sky Sports.
"I think England showed already at the World Cup. They, I think, exceeded expectations. They have a really young and very fast team, which is very important in modern football.
"I'd like to congratulate England on a deserved win and for qualifying for the final four of the Nations League."
