Croatia massively underperform it seems. Apart from the World Cup last time I saw them was their games against Scotland, think scotland beat them both times, we all know scotland are a poor side player for player to Croatia.
Croatia always have a few awesome individual players, but as a team something is just missing.
Other fans from Croatia will get angry, but there is a strong reason why Croatia managed only once to promote to knockout rounds after a group stage both on World cups and European cups, since 1998' success.
It isn't only a fault from coaches because we had like 6-7 different coaches in the last 17 years, with really minor success compared to what we could have achieved.

Dunno. I haven't watched a lot of Italy lately, but they seem to retain the same style that was under Prandelli. Short, neat passing, possession play, 1-2s and stuff. I think they simply lack good players.Italy are going nowhere under Conte, Prandelli will be missed.
And no nice football will be played either, shame
He looks like a donkey, though. A little, cute donkey.He's not playing
Well, it could be worse, they could have had neither, like us....
I don't watch them play that much, I rather follow other games. But atleast it's better than Hareide and Drillo's last stint from what I've seen. That was truly dreadful stuff.
We dont really create much more or look better than we did with Drillo, we just concede much more than usual. Høgmo is trying to play nice attacking football, but we dont have the players for it.
Nor the old school long ball forward.
This team can achieve okay results if they adopt a tactic to play on the counter.
