Team Overview
Croatia are one of international football's great overachievers. Under the astute Zlatko Dalić and led by the incomparable Luka Modrić — now playing what may be his final World Cup — the Vatreni are compact, technically excellent, and ferocious in midfield. They reached the final in 2018 and the semi-finals in 2022, and they know how to go deep in tournaments.
