yeah, because Hierro took over a day or so before the tournament and played it safe. Don't think they would have been the same under Lopetegui. Not really a surprise that their first game was their best - that's the one they had prepared for with Lopetegui. Then Hierro took over.

EDIT: 6-0 now. Madness. It's not like Croatia is fielding a B-team either - Modric, Rakitic, Perisic, Brozovic, Kovacic, Vrsaljko, Vida, Pivaric ...
