Croatia's big chance went in 1998 when they were 1-0 up against France in the semi-final, they had a brilliant side back then. Probably my favourite national team after an Irish one ever, they had several of my favourite players ever.

But it's just too small a country really to reliably produce another team of players good enough as a collective. They'll always be pretty good, but rarely ever get that good again.

The Turks should really do much better than they have, but they seem to really have a problem travelling away from Turkey.
