I watched the Nations League with interest. This mini-European Championship was a foretaste of Uefa Euro 2024. The emotional highlight for me was Croatia’s victory against the hosts, the Netherlands, in the semi-finals. The stadium was sold out, the Dutch had been unbeaten at De Kuip for 23 years but after extra time 20,000 Croats celebrated in Rotterdam.
Not even 4 million people live in this country, yet Croatia have been to the World Cup semi-finals twice recently.
