Despite being a relatively new nation (Croatia became independent in 1995), the small European land has made an immediate impact on the world soccer stage.
Croatia finished third in its first World Cup appearance in 1998 before losing to France in the 2018 final.
Now with consecutive World Cup podium finishes, it will no longer be a surprise to see Croatia competing at this level.
