This is true, and frustrating as a supporter.
Modric, Kovacic and Rakitic are exceptional midfielders and play in the top league with the top teams. Mandzukic, for my money, is the best striker in the world in the air, and is very talented on the ground in close too. Croatia have other strikers that can score too.
The back line is the weakness, but sufficient if you ask me.
I sure hope the politics of the Croatian federation don't interfere with the play on the pitch. Croatia have the horses, let's see if they can redeem themselves from the heartbreak of 2008 and the disappointment of 2012.
