“We’ve got at least two more matches of Modric and that can only be a good thing”
Max and Barry discuss the potential swansong of Croatia’s greatest ever player Luka Modric with Mark Langdon.
Mark suggests this 1-0 win for Croatia against Panama very much felt like a changing of the guard, with new players such as Martin Baturina coming through and Modric’s legs no longer powering him as they once did. However, even if there’s any truth to rumours that Croatia’s legendary playmaker might be retiring at the end of this World Cup, we at least get a minimum of two more matches to enjoy his brilliance.
