Does croatia have enough to win?. Yes. But willl they win? that uncertain question's answer does not fall in favors to them. Now if you ask why I say that then allow me to elaborate a little bit. I am no football prediction guru but a simple analysis would my point to be valid I think.
When both teams are compared side by side it is clear that both teams are the perfect candidate to play with each other in this tournament. both team has young players, worlds two best defence, some of the best forwards, and some midfield that is a football nerds wet dream.. Most of the player who will be on the field plays In laliga one way or another and plays for the best clubs.
Now france has a true champ youngling, Kylian Mbappe who with his speed is like Usain Bolt with a ball. Other honorable mentions would be Giroud and Antoine Griezman, the french goal machine. He has some superb skills. But on the other hand Domagoj Vida and Lovern, The croatian defence is a great pair if compared to worlds any other defence. They are capable enough to stop french attack roster one on one. But football is a complete team effort. so who comes successful is a matter to be seen only.
After reading all the statements above you ought to be thinking that I support France. But please read the whole thing first. Now if we talk about Croatian attack Mario Mandzukich and ivan Perisic is one of the best foroward combination for this world cup. They play with each other so beautiful its like a well choreographed dance. They are more dangerous than frances attack when their experience and solid chemistry is kept in mind. But umtiti and Varane are like solid brick walls. They are frances best defence pair till now in my opinion.
Now in last matches of france Midfielders Kante and Pavard has showed true determination. They have both assisted in goals and pavard has scores allready in his pocket. But oh lord, if compared they are like LED strips when croatian mid field is a 10000 watt flood light. Luka modric And Evan Rakitic is among world best ten midfielders. Luka modric is enough to turn a match around. Not with scoring but with assists.. He can control a match like Zidane for 90 minutes and evenn the extra time. He will move all around the field controlling the ball. And look for openings. His crosses and passes are accurate to the brink.. But the remainig star Paul Pogba can single handedly neutralize them if its needed.
Kylian Mbappe and Mandzukic in the same field should flood the scoreboard with scores. Experience vs speedy talent, which will win will be determined in the field. But I personally would say Croatia will come short after playing the best of their game. Who knows it might even go to penalty shootout.
