I personally dont feel that Croatia over-achieved. If anything, they've always been a really good side thats never really put it all together.
My biggest concern with Croatia at the moment is that they are old. Now, sometimes that can mean that they'll fall flat on their faces, hence why I think Canada may be able to nick a point off of them.
But they're my wildcard. That is a group that just got their first real taste of success but they're also at the tail-end of their current group.
Thats the problem. Being where they are could be a recipe for disaster with so many ageing players having their last kick at the can or....they could galvanize as a group and really go on a tear.
They're my dark horse.
