Croatia make deep runs a habit. Luka Modrić still conducts, Mateo Kovačić adds dynamism, Joško Gvardiol is a top ball-playing defender, Andrej Kramarić supplies goals. Zlatko Dalić trusts a midfield-dominant, patient system.
The group: Group L with England, Ghana, Panama. Opener: England v Croatia. A top-two finish sets up a familiar deep bracket run. See standings. Not affiliated with FIFA.
