I can only say that all these bookmakers can only continue to underestimate Croatia, because they have always done so regardless of the results that football team achieved. 2018 second in the world, 2022 third in the world, and in a month they will play the semi-finals of the Nations League - the only problem is that there are a lot of people for whom such results do not fit into their "plans".
It makes sense what you said
Speaking from the economic point of view and the interests of FIFA / UEFA, it is not in their interest for Croatia to be a champion for example
We fans really like to see teams that are not favorites, being champions or ending in a good position in championships
But FIFA would make much more money having a champion like Germany, Spain or England, than Croatia.
That's what our coach says, and he is certainly the best coach after the great Ciro Blazevic, who won third place with Croatia at the 1998 world championship in France. However, I think that we don't respect ourselves enough, and others see that and that's why they behave that way. Everyone who comes to Croatia and sees our football stadiums is unpleasantly surprised by how bad it looks - and at the same time those who should build them are stealing billions and laughing in everyone's face.
It's sad to hear this, I don't live in Europe, so there are things that we only learn about via TV or internet
If the conditions are not that good, the whole Croatian team deserves even more for having made it this far
In the last years the team that is most talked about, apart from the ones that are already world champions, is Belgium, but if you analyze the results, Croatia has been better.
And finally, I think Croatia has the best chance at the moment to be Nations League champion. The title is within reach, it is possible to beat Netherlands and it is also possible to beat Spain or Italy.
