It seems to happen every couple of years where a country produces a couple of World class players at the same time, only to then not duplicate that success again.

The Czech's with Nedved, Ukraine with Schevchenko, Denmark with Schmeichel immediately come to mind just in the last 20 or so years.

As for this version of Croatia on it's own I think they could suprise a lot of teams. Midfield always seems to be important on the international stage and if they play the right system they have a midfield that can own any game.
Egypt with Salah.

I'm always skeptical of superstars from non-traditional soccer countries, I was hugely skeptical of Salah but what can you say? The guy delivers.
