Another World Cup, another Cinderella run for Croatia. Not only did they reach the semifinals, they beat Brazil, the favorites of the tournament and one of the best World Cup rosters of all time. Luka Modric was spectacular as always in the midfield, and young center-back Josko Gvardiol had a breakthrough tournament. Despite a lot of core players likely retiring by the time the 2026 World Cup comes around, Croatia have enough young talent to remain a dark horse for years to come.
