CROATIA



A team that came quietly
Without stars but with a good reserve
Croatia has a new generation of players and is looking forward to taking its big break, even though it is unlikely that it will advance more than the quarter finals. Without the stars from the past, Croatia can take advantage of this element and get to the World Cup without them.
