Croatia defender Domagoj Vida insists that his team have the credentials to win the 2018 World Cup.

Croatia defender Domagoj Vida has insisted that his team have the credentials to win the 2018 World Cup.

The European nation booked their spot in the quarter-finals of this summer's tournament by beating Denmark on penalties in the round of 16.

Hosts Russia are waiting for Croatia in the last eight, and Vida has said that his side 'are not going to stop' as they bid to triumph at the 2018 competition.

"It wasn't our best game. It brought a lot of pressure, especially after loss to Portugal at Euro 2016. We wanted this win a lot. It wasn't easy," Vida told reporters.

"Now the pressure is off a bit. We would like to of course beat Russia and, God willing, go all the way to the end. We are close. Our plan is not to stop now."

Croatia were eliminated in the group stages of the 2002, 2006 and 2014 World Cups, but reached the semi-finals back in 1998.
