A final tournament regular for Yugoslavia and Croatia before retiring after the 2002 FIFA World Cup, Robert Jarni tells UEFA.com he has faith that the current crop can make amends for the disappointment of missing out on South Africa last year by booking their place at UEFA EURO 2012. Victory against a Greece side "renowned for their destructive style" on Friday will seal top spot in Group F with a game to spare, and Jarni says Croatia have the strength and hunger to succeed.
