Players To Watch Out For
Cyprus is one of the lesser-known countries that play football. But they are not a team to be underestimated. In whichever tournament they play, they are always considered to be the underdog. Cyprus’ performance in the world cup qualifiers is quite disappointing. They are the last team in group H. From 6 matches they only managed to get 4 points. They only won one match, drew one match, and lost on all the other occasions. With the likes of Loizos Loizou, Grigoris Kastanos, Pieros Sotiriou, Konstantinos Laifis, etc., Cyprus is going to be the next big thing in European football.
Coming to Croatia’s side, whatever we say will be less. With each year, they are leveling up and giving thrashing every team coming in their way. The 2018 World Cup finalist is one of the European Giants in international football. Previously Croatia was considered the underdogs, but now their opponents respect them. Croatia is currently at the top of the group with 13 points in 6 games. Croatia has one of the best players of this generation. Luka Modric is exceptionally good, and anyone hardly ever comes to his level. The squad also has other world-class players like Ivan Rakitic, Mateo Kovacic, Domagoj Vida, Andrej Kramaric, etc.
