FIFA World Cup 2022: Croatia full schedule, match timings, squad, team news, live telecast and streaming

FIFA World Cup 2022 : Having embarked on a sensational run to the 2018 World Cup final, might Croatia have set the bar too high for themselves this time around? Less than half of the starting XI that lost 2-4 to France that balmy night in Moscow will make the plane to Qatar.

One of them is the ever-classy Luka Modric. The Real Madrid playmaker may be at the wrong end of his 30s, but very much remains the team's heartbeat.

Modric, though, will have to cope without his reliable aide, Ivan Rakitic, who retired from international football in 2020. And Modric has also confirmed this will be his farewell World Cup.

Croatia's first hurdle comes in the form of Morocco on November 23. That's followed by a clash against Canada four days later, before the toughest assignment of all, a date with Belgium on December 1.
