Agreed. Modric has to control the midfield the way everyone knows he can. You had also mentioned Jelavic...I think this Euro is the passing of the torch to him. It will probably be Olic's swan song.
Croatia's goaltending is rough to say the least. The backline will have to be commited to get the shots on goal down because I wouldn't trust Pletikosa against my women's team, let alone the likes of Spain and Italy.
This will be a fun group to watch.
I'm really curious how Spain reacts to the loss of Villa. Obviously they have a lot of fire power, but he's a big part of that roster.
