And as a football fan, I just can't get enough of Luka Modric ... such a joy to watch. To me, he's head and shoulders above every other midfielder on this planet.

Agree about Modric. Easily a top 5 central midfielder in the world right now and probably the best. The only guys close right now IMO are KDB, Isco, Kroos, & Kante (Casemiro, Eriksen, Pogba, Rakitic get honorable mention, Iniesta is still great but a little long in the tooth now).
Honestly that is why I feel like Croatia has a chance to win it all - teams with the best midfields tend to do well in these tournaments and they are one of best right now.
