Sure, England and Croatia have played some big games against each other, but that doesn't mean it's a rivalry. WP:NOR. Jmorrison230582 (talk) 09:39, 1 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - yet another article which confuses "head-to-head record" with "rivalry". There is no rivalry between England and Croatia -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 09:49, 1 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - not an established rivalry. Giant Snowman 10:12, 1 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I did a WP:BEFORE search in Croatian, found lots of discussion about rivalries in English club football. The discussion can be had on the Croatian national team website, and perhaps the English national team website, but they're more "Croatian results against top tier competition" moreso than rivalries (apart from Serbia.)

Delete per above, a few big games doesn't make a rivalry. Even England-Portugal would have more historical relevance than England-Croatia. – filelakeshoe (t / c) 🐱 10:20, 3 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Not even a rivalry. Just two really dumb losses for England. KingSkyLord (talk | contribs) 21:01, 6 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
