Football world cup- Croatia Wins
Croatia made an easy win over Nigeria with 2-0
Luka Modric penalty helped Croatia beat Nigeria 2-0
Croatia, semi-finalists at France '98, have struggled to live up to the lofty expectations borne of an embarrassment of midfield riches, and meekly lost their World Cup opener 3-1 to hosts Brazil four years ago.
There is a sense of now-or-never for the Balkans nation at this tournament, in stark contrast to Nigeria, who brought the competition's youngest squad to Russia.
Luka Modric, Croatia Wins.
