For giving Modders even more motivation!
"We proved everything differently that people were talking. Especially English journalists, pundits from television, they underestimated Croatia tonight and that was a huge mistake," he told ITV after the game.
"All these words from them we take, we were reading and we were saying 'OK, today we will see who will be tired.' As I said, they should be more humble, and respect opponents more. That's it.
"We showed again that we were not tired, we dominated the game physically, mentally in all aspects," he said. "We should have killed the game before extra-time, but this is an amazing achievement for us, a dream come true.
"After such a long time we are in the final, the biggest success in Croatian sporting history. We have to be proud."
Thanks Shearer & co

He must have exchanged more than just shirts with the Russian players.

meant to say 120 mins 3 times on the trot in quick succession.
All of our players looked tanked after an hour. he looked like he could play another ninety mins after the game.

Good job he's had a short season with no CL campaign to contend with

Well, this is exactly what he was talking about when he referred to the extra motivation. On "normal" circonstances, he'd probably gave up. But have you ever tried to prove someone wrong? You get that extra push. Doesn't have to be drug related.

It was an easy game for Modric. Up against a midfield that is anything but solid defensively and offerring little supporting the attack. Better look at our own failings before we start pointing fingers about gear etc

Frankly it's a sad state of affairs when proving a point to a bunch of pundits, who never won anything at internationsl level, is a greater motivator than reaching a world cup final for the first time in your country's history.

In his assessment that they dominated the game in all aspects, he seems to have forgotten the first half, when we should have killed them off.
