Croatia's national football team is still in shock after a controversial decision at the World Cup. FIFA has released an explanation for the disallowed goal by Joško Gvardiol, but it's just another disappointment for Croatian fans.

Croatia played against Portugal and Joško Gvardiol scored a goal, but the referee decided it was offside. FIFA released an explanation, stating that Croatian player Igor Matanović had contact with the ball before the goal was scored.

This decision is important for Croatia because it affected the outcome of the game. Croatia lost the game against England with a result of 4-2 (2026-06-17). Croatia's current form is 1W-0D-4L (LWLLL, most recent first).

Croatia will play against Czechia (away, 2026-09-26), who are currently third in the table. | Date | Opponent | Result | | 2026-06-17 | England | 4-2 | | 2026-09-26 | Czechia | - |

This is a poor consolation for Croatian fans and players, and the question is who actually believes in all this...
