FIFA World Cup: We Want To Be Remembered Like Croatia's 1998 Heroes, Says Juranovic

By IANS News December 13, 2022 • 09:53 AM View: 307

FIFA World Cup: Croatia are back in the World Cup semifinals, just like they did in 2018 and before that in 1998, and defender Josip Juranovic, who has been a standout for Croatia at FIFA World Cup in Qatar, feels that his generation of players could be considered heroes just like Davor Suker and his teammates.

The 1998 side had finished third in their maiden appearance in the FIFA World Cup. Though the 2018 squad reached the final and lost to France, it is the 1998 squad that is the biggest draw in Croatian football.
