Pre-match postbag: “With tonight’s record being broken, spare a thought for the holder of a more unwanted record, Emlyn Hughes. He won 62 caps and never got to go to the World Cup or Euros finals” – Roger Kirkby

“In the non-Kane-focused-Croatian World of Sport, does Modric’s pine-based residency mean he carried the can for that thing that happened last time? Is he now being shown a Ronaldo-shaped door (the other one)? Do Croatians want this? Is there a ‘Modrić van’ waiting for him every time he is picked?” – Ian Copestake
