There is more than meets the eye to finalists Croatia

Look deeper than the unsuspecting English media and you will learn more about this Croatian team

It’s official, England are coming home but without the World Cup trophy. For their semi-final opponents, Croatia, it will be a historic milestone for them as it will be the first time; the country competes in a World Cup final.

Winning football’s showpiece tournament would represent the zenith of Croatian football and one that will forever be etched in Croatian football history. Before the semi-final it can be said that the British media unsurprisingly underestimated the Vatreni but there is more to Croatia than meets the eye.
