Croatia's side played poorly against Portugal's B team, especially in the first half when Portugal dominated possession of the ball. Things improved a bit in the second half with the introduction of new players, but the forwards failed again as usual - and I wonder how anyone can keep Kramaric in the team considering he kicks the ball like a 5-year-old...?
I have seen that game in the review and i agree that Croatia has not played there best game against Portugal , but Portugal is very good at the moment.
I mean they got a few chances but they missed score and about Kramaric he also plays not well in his club.
As for coach Dalic, he has a contract for 2 years and the goal is to take Croatia to the World Cup - the League of Nations was less important to them anyway, but they managed to reach the next stage of the competition - the only thing waiting for them there is Spain, Germany or France with which will be very difficult to play.
Maybe its possible for Dalic to get the team ready for the next World Cup , there is a bit of time.
About the next stage yes it will be not getting easier for Croatia no matter who they will play against.
