Well personally, I think Modric is in very good shape, in Belgium we have Haazard and we all know how well he plays, and even more so when he is in his team, Candá I see it as a team that can be or look somewhat weak , but I am considering that Croatia has the potential to reach a final, these countries are incredible, but as the tournament goes on and they qualify they become very strong, and they have always had very good players, I think that Croatia will pass and it will easily reach the semifinals, as it has done on occasions that have made us dream, of course I see it that way, we still have to wait to see how the players are grouped and with what strategies they can go out to play, everything depends on it.
I think that Modrić showed this season that he is still Croatia's most important player. It's not only because of his play. His appearance on the field brings some sort of relief to his teammates. Maybe I'm biased but for me Croatia without Modrić and Croatia with him are two totally different teams.
It will be a tough game against Belgium but Croatia is known to play their best game against strong opponents. I'm worried that the first two matches for Croatia are against Morocco and Canada. It could happen that they "shit the bed" in one of those games and then they'll have to fight with Belgium for the next round.
I agree with you. Croatia usually plays best against the strongest national teams, but often fails against weaker teams.
In this year's League of Nations, they lost the first match at home to Austria, then they beat against France and Denmark away from home and finally won the first place in the group.
The last qualifiers for the European Championship also began with an unexpected defeat by Slovenia.
With that in mind, obviously you shouldn't worry too much about how Croatia will play against Belgium, but you should worry about how they will play against Morocco and Canada
