So Croatia managed to beat Saudi Arabia in today's friendly game but it was tougher than expected. Saudi Arabia was probably a test game for the first game against Morocco. Croatia had two goals canceled because of the offside and I think that Dalic should be a little worried because Croatia didn't dominate as it would be expected. Saudi Arabia missed few really good chances and just because of that Croatia won in the end. Interestingly, Luka Modric wasn't in the starting lineup. I guess that Dalic wanted to test how would his team play without their best playmaker.

And judging by the attendance (the game was played in Saudi Arabia), local fans couldn't care less about their football team.

I believe that these friendly games are not valuable at all to derive any conclusions from them. Who in the world would risk to get injured right before everything starts in such a game? Hell, I would definitely play at 70% maximum unless I still have to lose something and might not make it into the best 11 of the squad.
