In their brief World Cup history, dating from France1998, Croatia has played in two semifinals. Their debut in the tournament saw them finish in third place, while in the most recent tournament, they surprised fans by reaching the final.
“We have faith that everything will go well, it is not easy to get here, we have had to play many games and lose some, but since the World Cup in Russia, we are doing well, we would have liked to have won earlier, but we are ready for anything,” said Real Madrid’s Modrić.
“Argentina is not only Messi,” added striker Bruno Petkovic. “They have a number of great players. So we have to stop the whole team.”
