I meant that, due to international experience at this level (Croatia was 3rd in 1998), croatians know how to play the high-stake games like this one. Their players are way more experienced in Europe with this kind of crucial games. Winning such a game is more a matter of mental strength than enthusiasm and skills. This is why I said Aussies don't have any chance, at this menthal level (which, again, is the most important in such games) the difference is huge. I wasn't referring to skills, tactics, players at all. These are almost equal. The only person that can balance this difference is Aussies' coach, Guus Hiddink, with his experience. But I doubt that he can menthalize his players. Not impossible, though. In football everything can happen. But in this case, chances are very small, IMHO.
