The matches were in June in the League of Nations, just a few months ago.
Croatia is often underestimated as a team, this was also the case in 1998 at the world championship in France when we were third in the world and in 2018 in Russia when we were second in the world. We always play our best when no one believes in us and when others underestimate us.
In 1998, they were first time in this event and lost only two matches one against Argentina and second against World champions France in semifinal and after this they have play in three events all time lost in group stage but as they have their fourth event in Russia again they were on top of the game and reach into final where again France dispatch them and take this trophy with this both times they were lucky for France first in semifinal and second time in final.
We can expect something special from them as now they are having good squad with many skilled players those are doing good in European clubs and can do better in this event as well.
