How far can the Croatia national team go in the 2022 FIFA World Cup?
Croatia proved to be the underdogs of the 2018 World Cup as they reached the final of the tournament. They knocked out teams like France and Russia on their way to the World Cup final. Although they lost to reigning champions France, Croatia still put in an entertaining performance throughout the World Cup.
They are still not favorites to win the competition but can never be counted out as top contenders. This time, they have a competitive group with teams like Morocco, Canada, and Belgium. They drew their first game of the competition against Morocco after a goalless game. How far do you think they can go?
