Three lots of extra time simply had to take their toll. And yet Croatia kept going, only in the last ten minutes did they look a beaten team. This generation took their nation further than before, further than the legends of 98, Davor Suker anyone? A nation of just 4 million the second best in the world. A remarkable achievement. And a team that plays attractive, attacking football. But ultimately it was only good enough for silver, but what a journey, the peak performance against Argentina, the comeback against England, the coolness the double penalty shoot out victory. Maybe one last hurrah for this set of players will come at Euro 2020.
