Japan vs. Croatia Preview

Japan has stunned everyone with its performance in the group stage games. Although they lost to Costa Rica, the Asians have managed to beat the giants like Spain and Germany to reach the knockout games. Their win against Germany was one of the reasons for the past champions’ early exit from the FIFA World Cup.

Japan now takes on Croatia, who finished second in Group F, right behind Morocco. Croatia has played like champs in the tournament so far. They have conceded only one goal so far in the World Cup. It shows Croatia’s excellent defense and the one Japan needs to face on a Monday night.

Croatia drew a couple of group-stage matches and completely crushed Canada by 4-1. It’s going to be a game of chess between Japan and Croatia. While the latter will look to slow down the game, Japan will play aggressively after halftime.

fuboTV and YouTube TV are limited to the US region only. What about other users? Since you can’t access such services, you need to use third-party apps to watch Japan vs. Croatia for free. Before you use such apps, make sure to install ExpressVPN on FireStick.

FireStickTricks can’t confirm the authority of such apps. You may end up streaming unlicensed content at home. Since you watch such sports content on an open IP address, the local government can send a legal notice anytime. It’s hard to differentiate between licensed and unlicensed content on such apps. You may accidentally stream sports content that’s not legal in your county, and it may land you in legal trouble.

I highly recommend using ExpressVPN before streaming sports content from unofficial apps. It hides your IP location and FireStick watch history from prying eyes. Settings up ExpressVPN hardly requires a couple of minutes. After that, you are safe from using unofficial apps and watch Japan vs. Croatia for free.

Step 1: Subscribe to ExpressVPN HERE. It comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee. Meaning, you can use it free for the first 30-days and if you are not satisfied with the performance (which is highly unlikely), you can ask for a full refund.

Step 2: Power ON your Fire TV Stick and go to Find followed by Search option.

Step 3: Now type “Expressvpn” (without quotes) in the search bar and select ExpressVPN when it shows up in the search results.

Step 4: Click Download to install the ExpressVPN app on Fire TV / Stick.

Step 5: Open the app and enter the login credentials that you created while buying the ExpressVPN subscription. Click Sign in.

Step 6: Click the Power icon to connect to a VPN server. That’s all. Your connection is now secure with the fastest and best VPN for FireStick.
