Croatia has the quality to be able to breakdown smaller and mid tier teams. But against a team like Brazil they kinda have to bunker.

Morocco is more like Albania under Di Biasi but a more talented version. Unless if you have legit technical talent it seems like you should be a bunker and workhorse kind of team like Morocco for international play. Albania had the right idea in 2014 when Di Biasi had a squad full of pit bulls who would run themselves to the ground. We competed with everyone in that short period.

Thats what Morocco is, they just have guys like Zieych and Amrabat that are just superior technical players to us.

I do think we could be a similar type team relying on quick counters with Broja/Bajrami, we just lack some pacey wingers for it tbh.

South Americans in general are closer to Eastern Europeans in mentality than Western. You see how Argentinians are dominating in every stadium? They are hardcore nationalists
Well Argentina is just a bunch of Italians and former Nazis lol

If there is a team that can beat Croatia it's them.

They've won only a 90 minute game this WC and that was against Canada. They had only one shot on target against Brazil. That midfield trio helps them keep hold of the ball better once they win it back, but otherwise they're playing very defensive football.

Yeah they're not exactly playing total football. They have that midfield trio like you said who are secure on the ball but for the most part they are playing suffer ball. Including the last world cup/last euros they've only won 1 game in the 90mins which is nuts.

Croatia had 52/48 possession. That's not anti-football. And shots on target can be misleading, because sometimes people bottle sitters by kicking them off target.

Croatia doesn't have good attackers besides Perisic that's why their attack looks meh.
