Croatia train with handballs and trash cans before Panama clash

Panama face Croatia on Tuesday in their second Group L match, and Croatia's preparation has taken an unusual turn. Video released by the Croatian Football Federation shows players using handballs and trash cans as targets during a training drill, with the federation writing: "Balls of different sizes. The same obsession with hitting the target" (1). Croatia dropped points in their opener and need a result. For Panama, coming off the tournament's biggest win so far, a 7–1 demolition in their first match, the stakes are high against a side clearly searching for any edge.
