The Croatia national football team is gearing up for World Cup 2026, but coach Zlatko Dalić has not called up all the players who had hoped to participate in the tournament. Among them are Dion Drenov Beljo, Luka Stojković, and Josip Mišić, who all had good seasons with their clubs. Our team would consist of Karlo Letica in goal, Ivan Smolčić on the right flank, Borna Sosa on the left flank, Tin Jedvaj and Dominik Prpić in the center, Josip Mišić and Lovro Majer in midfield, and Luka Stojković in the attacking position. This team would certainly be a strong challenge for all opponents, but instead, they will watch the World Cup 2026 from the bench. Zlatko Dalić is the coach who made the decisions about the player list, but the question is why he did not call up some of these players. Josip Mišić was one of the key players for Dinamo in winning the double crown, but Dalić did not call him up. Luka Stojković was the creative force behind Dinamo's effective game, but Dalić did not call him up. These decisions will certainly be a topic of discussion among fans of the Croatia national football team. The Croatia national football team will have to make the most of the players who were called up to the World Cup 2026, as every match will be a strong challenge. Fans will watch the team with great interest, as they will want to see how the players who were called up to the World Cup 2026 will perform at the tournament.
