Croatia captain Luka Modric feels that the English media underestimated his team who came from behind to knock England out of the FIFA World Cup with a 2-1 semi-final win here. "We proved everything differently that people were talking," Modric told ITV after Wednesday evening's match.

"Especially English journalists, pundits from television, they underestimated Croatia tonight and that was a huge mistake," he added. "All these words from them we take, we were reading and we were saying 'OK, today we will see who will be tired.' As I said, they should be more humble, and respect opponents more. That's it."
