Although the Croatian National Football Team achieved two wins away from home during their last campaign (6-0 against Kosovo and 1-0 against Finland), the new FIFA rankings show that our “Vatreni” have fallen from 14th to 16th place, reports Slobodna Dalmacija.

Robert Prosinečki scored a historic success on the bench for Azerbaijan after two wins and a draw in the last three qualifying rounds for the World Cup 2018. With seven points, Azerbaijan currently holds second place, potentially making a placement in a play-off for the World Cup in Russia.

After a convincing triumph against Kosovo with a final score of 6:0, making it a bit easier for Croatian National Football fans to breathe, today Croatia faces host Finland, plagued with injuries and reduced to a roster of only 19 players.
