I'm from Croatia and as much as I was proud on 2018 Croatian run on world cup, Neville is right, cause we as a small and new nation can't wait the moment we prove to some "old football force" as England that we were better. It's about Croatian pride but also English egoistic stamina. IMO It's not on player to comment in such a way as Modric did. It's on journalists to spread the shit like that if they have to. Modric played the role of journalist cause our portals are not popular as English worldwide and he just wanted to shut down all the mouth about "it's coming home".

They are totally different besides there looks. Watch the goals scored by cruyff. He passes 6 players and scores. Scores from impossible angles. Modric never has that.

On the other hand Modric has a thing or two that makes him bigger than Cruiyff. His passing is better, he is better in anticipation and defensive play. He is more durable and he is more successful.

They act like the football world revolves around them only because they have the EPL, even though few English players are among the best players in that league. England can take note: Croatia, a country much smaller with fewer resources, has been a dominant force in international football for quite some time now. If you compare the recent records of these two teams, maybe the English have something to learn.

The pundits were in total denial. What Modric said was true. The english media and teams really do believe their own hype. Which then leads their teams to underestimate non english opponents. In the end they lose the match. The best example of this was when RM won the UCL last season. We're RM the best team? Definitely not. Did Rm deserve it? Sure they did, because they never gave up. The english teams underestimated them. When RM finally won, the pundits were like "oh, they are the luckiest team ever, bla bla bla". It was luck and not sheer determination and respect for the opponents. The plain truth was that the English teams are superior and have technically capable players, but their downfall was that they underestimated RM. Thats why RM made those comebacks and won the UCL.

[@dannylad1600]

Sorry but I just dont see this 'English arrgance' people keep talking about. All he spoke about was the possibilities of England beating Croatia and that their players might be tired.

[@goldytwatus1674]

Give an example of them claiming that England were favourites to win, explain how they forced any of their opinions on anyone, explain how they forced their opinions over to Croatia. They consider themselves to be about 4th to 6th best, which is where they are ranked based on performance. They could win, and they should make it to semi-finals which they do. Nobody underestimated Croatia, it's just a close game and could go either way. It's like losing on penalties and saying it's because they were cocky. English teams have won 3 of the last 5 UCL finals. Real Madrid has won once in the last 5 years. Your point is idiotic, did Real Madrid underestimate the teams that beat them?
