Croatia's Dream Debut | France 1998 | FIFA World Cup
Рет қаралды 656,389
3 жыл бұрынCroatia's first ever FIFA World Cup was one to remember. The Vatreni arrived at France 1998 as unsuspecting dark horses. They left as national heroes.
Take a look back at Croatia's maiden voyage at the global finals, where the likes of Davor Suker, Zvonimir Boban and Robert Prosinecki inspired Miroslav Blazevic's men to a bronze medal.

They're not a perennial powerhouse, they're too small to be one. But they've always got some great players and they seem to have a "big team" mentality. In 2018 once the draw opened up for them it wasn't a surprise they made the final. Almost their entire XI plus a couple off the bench were at big clubs and playing key roles. For example, they went into the semi-final as betting underdogs despite having a lot more big game experience than England, and a midfield including Modric and Rakitic. Up front Mandzukic, Perisic. A really well balanced team.

I remember a game Croatia vs. Germany like it was yesterday. I was 8. My parents had a guest house in Croatia where we had a lot of German tourists during the summer. At the time, my father worked in Germany, but during the summers, he was in Croatia. On the ground floor, we had a big living room with lot of space. On that night, there were like 15 Germans and 4 Croats, my mother, father, uncle and me watching the game. We celebrated like crazy, so proud while our German guests were sad and confused because they could not understand that such a small country demolished their national team. It gives me goosebumps everytime I think about that! :) Proud to be Croat!!!

I wouldnt call Croats the underdogs. They were one of the strongest teams in the tournament. Some of their players competed in world cup before with Yugoslavia too, and others were playing for top european teams. Plus this generation was product of super strong Yugoslavian league that gave also club european and world champion in 1991 Red Star. Yugoslavian team was also strong in this competition and lacked just a tiny bit of luck to get in last 8, with Mijatovic hitting the bar from penalty kick against never stronger Dutch team. I really wish Yugoslavia broke apart just 5 years later so we could see that best generation of our football playing one more WC together in their prime. I think they were ready to turn the world football upside down. That and the game of our basketball team against original NBA dream team.. I would give a year of my life just to watch that game happen.

7 world cups since we started. Top 3 in 3 of them. We sure deserve more. Time will give us that glorious moment. I know it will.

Regardless of 2018 and 2022, the 1/4 final against Germany in 1998 is the most epic Croatian game ever!

Football is a simple game. Twenty-two men chase a ball for 90 minutes and at the end, the Germans always win until they play with Croats.
