Croatia – the unpredictable unknown of Euro 2012

Croatia’s Euro 2012 campaign faced difficulties right from the qualifying round.

Croatia’s current squad.

The Croatian team was only established in 1992 after separating from the former Yugoslavia, but since then they have only missed two major tournaments, World Cup 2010 and Euro 2000. This has shown that the country is young.

In terms of force, Croatia currently only has Luka Modric reaching the level of the world’s top players, but their strength is the uniformity of the players and the ability to coordinate smoothly after a long time playing together.

Croatia’s playing style is based on the mobility of the midfield where they possess players with excellent technique and tactical vision.

These attacks will be extremely useful for Crotia in the group stage of Euro 2012 when they have to meet two very strong opponents, Spain and Italy, and the team with an unpleasant playing style, the Republic of Ireland.
