Mandzukic and Perisic

They are 2 of the best forwards to have represented Croatia. They have been selfless servants for The Balkans throughout their careers. They have played a combined total of 156 matches and scored 50 goals along with quite a few assists. The star forwards have played starring roles for Croatia in this World Cup.

Ivan Perisic scored the winner against Iceland in their last group game, with the winner coming in the 90th minute that broke Iceland hearts. Mario Mandzukic scored the equalizer against Denmark in the 3rd minute, in the all-important Round of 16 clash.

They are the key strikers in a team and are nearly as important as Modric. Both the forwards will be key to Croatia's chances of qualifying and winning the World Cup.
