Not as good as they were, but...

Technical Mastery: Croatia renowned for producing technically gifted, press-resistant midfielders. Their playing style evolved into a controlled, possession-heavy approach that enables them to dictate the tempo against any opponent.

Under Zlatko Dalić, the team recently started injecting fresh talent to replace aging stalwarts.

The "Golden Generation" (1998): Following independence, the Croatian FA quickly established a formidable youth system and national league. This produced the 1996 and 1998 squad led by Davor Šuker and setting a baseline for ongoing success.
