Ceferin hails Croatia

Croatia's march to the World Cup final is nothing short of a miracle and reflects the efforts of UEFA to develop the sport across the continent, president Aleksander Ceferin said Saturday.

"It's absolutely a good thing and again proves the good work in European football," Ceferin said.

"For a nation of four million people it's a miracle to come to the World Cup final.

"They have showed so much heart, so much passion, so much fighting spirit that I wouldn't say that they can't win on Sunday."

Six out of eight quarter-finalists in the current tournament have been from Europe and Ceferin is not surprised by the dominance.
