| When did Croatia get so poor? (n/t) on 21:15 - Oct 3 with 1190 views | Pique | Don't forget they're a tiny nation population-wise, around 3.9 million - smaller than Scotland and the Republic of Ireland, not much bigger than Wales. For them to have achieved what they have on the world stage (World Cup final and semi-final) is incredible and a testament to their footballing culture. They used to call the Yugoslavians the Brazilians of Europe, and of all the ex-Yugoslav nations it was the Croatians who took up that mantle. But these things are cyclical when your population is that small and fallow periods are inevitable. |  | |  | Login to get fewer ads

Indeed, really they’ve been punching above their weight with something of a golden generation. I guess population size helps to an extent in football. Scotland have a slightly larger population than Croatia but have been pony since forever. |  | |  |

They had a good team in the mid nineties aswell. They’ve punched above their weight for a long time. Boban, Suker, Stimac, Yarni, Bilic, Prosineski, |  | |  |

Changing of the guard needed there now, only I very much doubt they have a younger version of Modric or even Perisic for that matter. |  | |  |
