How they qualified Steamrollered by Belgium in qualifying, but recovered to put Iceland out in a two-legged play-off. World Cup high Their first World Cup remains their best effort, getting to the semi-finals in 1998 after putting out Germany. World Cup low Losing twice to England whilst failing to qualify in 2010. Or perhaps losing twice to Scotland this time round. Familiar faces Dejan Lovren (Southampton), Nikica Jelavić (Everton), Niko Krankčar (QPR), Mladen Petrić (West Ham). The manager Niko Kovac’s main asset is not being Igor Stimac, his grouchy predecessor. Appointed in October; this is his first senior managerial job. How in danger is he? 6/10 Most likely to light up Brazil Luka Modric remains Croatia’s best player and has adapted well to the added responsibility of being the team’s main creative force. Most likely to be sent home in disgrace Josip Simunic. Fined for an offensive salute after the play-off last month. Throw in the odd studs-up challenge and you have a player with one foot in the departure lounge. Title odds: 150/1 The stereotype is … Cultured midfielders, rampaging wingbacks and gifted forwards with a touch of genius to them. The reality is ... A team that should be a lot more interesting than they actually are. What are they known for?Rocky outcrops 44 per cent The golden generation 30 per cent Cheap package holidays 23 per cent Adrian Chiles 3 per cent How Brazilian are they? More akin to the Brazil of 2006, an ageing team still arguably living off past glories. How Google translates the national anthem Mila, much as you are a celebrity, You are dear to us only, Honey, where you are straight, Honey, where are you mountains! Duration A larynx-straining 14 verses, although only four are usually sung. How to dress like their fans Find your nearest greasy spoon café and nick all the red-and-white chequered tablecloths. Commentator's go-to stat The first country to recognise Croatia’s independence in 1991 was Iceland. Who Croatia have just knocked out in a play-off. There’s gratitude for you.
