Looking at Croatia's performance in these World Cups, I feel that Croatia has always been very strong and can compete with any strong team. It's just that Croatia is inexperienced in the World Cup, but this time they won three consecutive victories, beating the European dark horse Argentina, Iceland and the African eagle Nigeria respectively, creating the best results in history.
1998 In the World Cup in France, Croatia became the biggest dark horse in the history of the World Cup under the leadership of Suk. Without being favored by anyone, it won the third place in the World Cup, which surprised the world and made the world remember this team in plaid uniform.
In the following World Cups, Croatia's performance was lackluster, probably because their starting point was too high. Until this World Cup in Russia, Croatia made the world shine again. This team has outstanding personal skills, everyone's skills are very delicate, and at the same time, the tactical play combines the characteristics of South American and European teams, which can be said to be a "nine yin and nine yang" senior internal strength, so they will continue to surprise us in the next game. I boldly predict that Croatia will definitely enter the semi-finals this year.
A sports field is like a battlefield. Teams that have strength but never show obvious advantages can often go further. Croatia has now won by nine points, but no one wants to believe that they have a chance to win the World Cup. This is the advantage. They can be disturbed as little as possible and concentrate on playing well.
