Croatian midfield - by far the best in the world. Dalić knew very well how to prepare his team vs Brazil, great tactics. He knew they not gonna have many goal chances vs Brazil. They even had a meeting about how Brazilian players dive and roll over the pitch and how not to react on that. Great defense btw, amazing midfield. Btw, Croatia doesn't like to play like this, struggling in the front line but it's been like that for a while because they still can't find a proper striker. They used what they got the best - bravo!
I have no idea why everybody is calling our team old....yes, Modric is 37, but how old is Christiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi, one of Portugal players (Pepe) is 40...average age of our team is 27,4...Brazil, Argentina and at least 10 more teams are older in average...yes, we don't play well during the qualification phase but we play good enough...one of the reasons is probably due to the fact that our players are not together, they play in different countries, different teams (unlike France, England, Spain and many other)...when you put them together for a longer period of time, like World Cup, they become a real team, compact and strong
Lazy journalism. One guy wrote it, and now everyone is repeating it. What it is really based on is Luka's age, maybe they look at Perisic too, but that's it. Luka old=Croatia old. I mean if you can call 3rd best player of 2022 WC, and one of the key Madrid players old.
There are only 3 old men in Croatian team - Modrić 37, Perišić 33 and Lovren 32 and i wouldn't even consider 32 and 33 year old players as old man ... So in every line you have just one "older" player ... thats called experience :) And if i was Dalić i wouldn't even play Lovren as he has 2 other much younger and better players in that spot - Šutalo (22) and Erlić (24) who were starters in Nations league and only France scored them 1 goal and they played 2 games against France and 2 against Denmark. Croatian old men: Livaković (27) - Sosa (24) Gvardiol (20) Lovren (32) Juranović (27) - Kovačić (28) Modrić (37) Brozović (29) - Perišić (33) Kramarić (30) Pašalić (27)/Vlašić (24)
They keep calling us underdogs, but croatia was on the world scene since the euros in '96, but yugoslavia had a lot of croatian players, and they were a force in the WCs since they started in uruguay. Keep underestimating us and keep packing your bags for the trip home.
Croatia's qualifying record for the World cup: W7 D2 L1, Goal record F21 A4. So, 21 goals scored in total. I mean you can call that number low but then again, it's not Sunday league football.
its coz of the austria game. they only saw that result and said "ye theyre out of form". clueless people lol. like we didnt draw and complete pocket france and mbappe when we won against them lol.
It is like listening to random drunks in a bar who watched a game for the first time, but yet consider themselves experts. Croatia was first in the nations league group with France, Denmark and Austria. How could any team in a bad form achieve that?
coz they only remember the austria game where we lost lol, that and calling us old when we only really got 3 old players, it shows how braindead these people are lol. dont blame them tbh, they did their homework on brazil to sound smart when they beat us. oh wait, they didnt XDDDD
While all play checkers Croatia plays chess, they are cunning,insidious, tactics from 2050, they doing uno reverse on opponents, knowing what they gonna do, and counter it, no need for beauty and dance, straight to the bussiness, thats why they gonna go back to back finals eventho Sao Paolo alone has 11x times population of Croatia 💀
i keep seeing this argument everywhere and its funny how confident people are in saying this when theyre completely wrong. when people bring up our population, its to compare it to the greats, not china or fcking india. but rather when you look at all the great footballing nations, the vast majority of them have well over 40 million residents (port,bel,ned, have 10-17mill), tie that with their facilities, footballing infrastructure, footballing culture, immigrants from african nations who end up playing for them, etc etc, and then compare that to us (croatia) and its mind blowing how we're able to compete with them once you look at everything in context. THATS why people bring up population, especially against a nation like brazil, who have more registered footballers than we do males in our country. let that sink in lol.
@@stevenbarbir5158 + perisic. rest of our team are young or in their prime. hell portugal have pepe and cr7, both over 37 and yet no body ever called them old. it shows how little they know about us, just spewing random shit out of their asses.
Lol, Modrić being midfield in Real Madrid, but "football experts" don't even know he plays there......... And use his club as an example of "good midfielders". Ya think? 😂 😂 😂
Ouuu, the ''great experts'' are again mad. Albion went home and ''old'' Croats are still in. They are so old and in every game they run more than any other team. How can be?? Maybe ask Slaven Bilic to coach your national team ... who knows maybe than you can reach the final ... but be aware becouse if Croats are in final it will end again sad (mad) for you.
Next time, next time, next time …I’ve been hearing that since 2002. The way country’s are playing now days it might be another 10-20 years before Brazil lifts the trophy again
@@salinak1938 they actually played 3 times and Brazil won twice…regardless, you can win group games all you want but if you can’t win knockout games like the one in heart of Brazil when Germany humiliated the whole nation taking Brazil down 7-1 maybe you should rethink how good you actually are
Modric is crucial for Real and Croatia because he is football genius
Like Real Madrid? Guess who is in the center of both Real Madrid and Croatia? U think it's a coincidence?
Exactly! Thank you! …and this 3 royal geniuses can’t figure that out
HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAAHAHHH lol👍🏻👏🏻
Their thinking is just 🤯 ....all over the place 😂
👋🏻🇭🇷🔥
Just watch the next Croatian team, some real talent coming through, they will be in every world cup
Finals*

And second in WC in Russia...
"Old man". Do your research. Croatian team 6 months older than Brasilian team.
Croatian's are war/work horses. 😆💪
They're extremely technically gifted and skilful too ...

The commentators are upset that Croatia is doing better than England like you poms said in 2018 it's coming home unfortunately it's coming to Croatia
have you won it once yet?
@@bladerisq3352What have you done since 1966? Absolutely nothing
@@AnteDrago6still 1 more than Croatia
U said Croatia had bad qulifyig campaing ? We were unstopoble.
We were the best we have ever been.
To us we looked shockingley bad this WC.
Uruguay population 3.5 mil. Vs. Croatia's 3.8 mil. Not that numbers matter, otherwise China-India would win all.
In Croatia we get a football for our first birthday and the national kit for our christening. I'm willing to bet it's similar in Uruguay?

Brazil still the WC 5 times winner time will tell 2026 is still to come where Brazil will take the trophy home.

Don't be like the English. Football will never come home. Play one game at a time, not like this.
