WORLD CUP 2018: The curious case of Croatia captain Luka Modric

COMMENT: You would be hard tasked to find a potential World Cup winning captain more divisive than Luka Modric.

The negativity surrounding Modric stems from a perjury charge he received from Croatian authorities in March. Prosecutors believe Modric lied when he reneged on a previous testimony during the trial of Zdravko Mamic in July 2017. If found guilty, Modric could face six months to five years in jail.
