Country of 3 million with an aging squad beats massive footballing country of 214 million, 5 times winner and very arrogant, Croatia hold their own for the whole match and wins it in the end.
Not sure how any neutral couldn't love that.

Winner of Netherlands v Argentina becomes interesting now, no offence to Croatia but they both could quite easily beat the Croats.

People complaining about Croatias tactics. What do you expect them to do? Try and play free flowing attacking football and get stuffed 4 nil?
Surely you've got to admire Croatias workrate, organisation teamwork and determination.

Serves Brazil right really . Far too arrogant against South Korea in my opinion .
Admittedly tuned over when Brazil scored as I thought that was it , shocked Croatia got back into it to be honest . Population of like what ? 5 million ? Got to the final of the last World Cup and semi already here

And that's exactly what Croatia want them to think.

In 3 tournaments, Croatia have lost 2 games in normal time. One against France in the 2018 final , one against England. At which point everyone said they weren't very good.

It's the Samba dances, the more elaborate and victorious they are the bigger embarrassing way they depart the WC

What are you expecting them to do, play Brazil at their own game. You can only pi55 with the c0ck you've got.

They just seem to find a way to cling on, they seem to manage the tempo of a game very well.
Their in game management and resilience is world class. Like the old Germany I suppose.

The way they approach games with a seeming inner belief that they will score.

Like a mini Germany, if Croatia had 80 mill or whatever population then they would be tournament monsters!!

How many of those did they win in normal time? Seems like they win in extra time/penalties a lot.

Every single knockout game they've played in since 2018, has gone to extra time. 7 games in total.

Good point, those people saying that Southgate hasn't ever beaten a decent team in tournament football need look no further than this very very good generation of Croatians

That's fair, but when Germany are good they are very good. They have the best international record in Europe and three of the top 6 WC goal scorers.
