I'd back them as well, but then I am half-Croat myself. Furthest they've made it since their actual creation was their first, in '98. They finished third then.I could see Croatia doing it. Wouldn't mind them winning, have they ever won it?
They've never won anything, although they were good in Euro 96 (anyone remember Suker lobbing Schmeichel?), and I recall a 3rd place playoff in France 98.I could see Croatia doing it. Wouldn't mind them winning, have they ever won it?
Much like Belgium did against England. Their second string was just better.They've never won anything, although they were good in Euro 96 (anyone remember Suker lobbing Schmeichel?), and I recall a 3rd place playoff in France 98.
It's beginning to look like playing a B team against Belgium was a tactical masterstroke...
I dunno, slotting a penalty for your last kick in international football is no bad thing.Iniesta retires from international football, no surprise but a shame its ended the way it has for him.
I see cheating has just won again, intentional foul with open net which should be an auto goal and a red card, neither thing happens because of the stupid rules which allow a penalty miss and the awful officiating which means the player avoids a clear red and then next time in this situation someone will again cheat and may prosper too.
Yep - and Schmeichel was off his line too... yet no VAR!
If Croatia play like that again they'll be lucky to take it to Extra Time.Played like **** and I DON'T EVEN CARE
Surely even Croatia cannot screw up against Russia. Now let me never live through such a thing again.
