The UNTOLD STORY Behind CROATIA & Their ICONIC RISE

1:30 mark, that's not Boban, second one is not Štimac but Šuker, and you're correct with Prosinečki :)

Talent and national pride is the main reasons for Croatia success.

Croats were represented in the Yugoslav team but were underrepresented and the results of a strictly Croatian team prove this.

-Euro 1996 ref stole us against germany i 1/4... -wc98 bronze, - euro 08 turks scored in 120 and we lost on penalties in 1/4, -euro 12 ref stole us a clear penalty in group against winner spain in 90th minute in last game -wc 14 ref gave brazil litteraly 2 goals in first game, -euro 16 unlucky gola against portugal 120 min that even you mentioned, -wc 18 final first france goal was after griezman dived and second was doubtful penalty, 'wc22 semi vs argentina first goal was no penalty. Livakovic stood with both legs on the ground and argentinian just intenzionali fell on when ball was clear in croatian legs. PS. In 20 years we have more wc medals then england in whole history. We also played league of nations final.

Their very first World Cup they nearly went all the way - they came third in the whole tournament but scored first against France in the semi finals and it was a very very CLOSE match ... Croatia had some of the very best players in their position in the world at the time - players like Suker, Boban, Prosinecki, Jarni etc .. and if Boksic who was a world class striker didn't get injured before the tournament they would have been even better . Suker , Boksic up from would have been difficult to stop. That was a world class team and they just kept going from there ... Absolutely brilliant footballing country that keeps producing brilliant talent ....

Luka modrić best midfielder ever Croatian pride worldwide 🤜🤙😁❤👊🥊🥊😘🇭🇷🇭🇷

Croats have a strong faith! 💪🙏🇭🇷

I like how so many people called us lucky after we defeated Brazil (although for all of their simulations they got what they deserved), but when Portugal eliminated us on Euro 2016 with that one lucky attack everyone praised Portugal for eventually winning that Euro. Noone cared when we were better and lost but when we did the same thing to Brazil it was apparently undeserving.

Vatreni su dio nas i mi smo dio njih...Hrvatska u srcu ❤

But it's not just in football, they are winning medals and creating world champions in every sport, summer sports, waters sports, fighting sports, winter sports and even a BMX freestyle world champion, can someone please explain this?

we also have silver from current league of nation.

This was a great well put together video on Croatian football, well done. Just want to say Croatia's next generation of footballers are looking mighty good as well, cant wait for it

Great video! Greetings from Zagreb, croatia! I think the main reason for our success is the spirit of our players.
