That 2004-2006 squad was the weakest Croatian side since independence up against the best Argentinian side since 1978, a squad that really could have gone all the way in 06'. Just goes to show that results don't always follow paper and that with a couple of decent centre forwards and a set piece specialist, Croatia were often a greater threat in final 3rd back then than they are today, despite the significant gulf in quality in the middle of the park.

[@TB-pu9qm]

2000-2004 is far worse. 2004 was OKeish with Prso. 2006 was better. That was good team which underperformed wc06. Since Bilic we are ok. Few problems from 2008-2011 but still ok. After 2014 we are about top 10 in the world...and we have never been worse then top 25. Even in bad years. I am talking about realistic lists, not fifa list

[@12angryrealists]

@@TB-pu9qm 2002 had the in form Kovac bros and Rapaic as well as plenty of remnant talent from the golden generation in their twilight years, most of which were still playing well in short stints. The 2006 squad was ok on paper, but it was imbalanced, lacked mobility and was too defensive in the middle in order to protect their overreliance on an unfit Kranjcar. Reality is Croatia wouldn't have qualified for 2006 without Srna's set pieces. They faced 3 mobile sides in the group stages and paid the price.
