Denmark star Christian Eriksen says it would have been a “scandal” if his team had been knocked out at the group stage of the 2018 FIFA World Cup, he told Sky Sports , but even the Tottenham Hotspur midfield goal-scorer believes that Croatia will be the favorites when the two nations meet in a Round of 16 elimination game that will live stream from Nizhny Novgorod, Russia, on Sunday.
“It will bring together the whole country if we move on against Croatia,” Eriksen said. “It will lift the national spirit in the country. Croatia are perhaps small favorites if you look at the clubs where the players come from. But I think we can settle it within 90 minutes.”
But captained by former Spurs standout and current Real Madrid star Luka Modric, Croatia made it through their three group stage games with a perfect 3-0 record and emerged as the fourth-highest scoring side in the 2018 World Cup tournament, according to FIFA.com , and soccer experts believe the current Croatian team may be better than the 1998 edition that made it to the semifinals of the World Cup that year, ultimately to finish third.

Croatian defender Dejan Lovren also believes his side can exceed his country’s 1998 finish, the best ever in the country’s history, according to the online newspaper Ahram .
“I was nine-years-old. I remember my mom screaming in the house when we scored,” Lovren, said, thinking back to Croatia’s 2-1 triumph over the Netherlands in the 1998 third-place match. “We can beat that, definitely, but we need luck. We have a good opponent in the next round, it will be difficult.”
For the Danes, the high watermark in their World Cup history also came in 1998, when Denmark reached the quarterfinals, where they were eliminated by Brazil — who in turn reached the final before being trounced 3-0 by France, as FIFA.com records.
