SOCHI, Russia (Reuters) - Croatia cruised through their group with three straight wins but Denmark's tougher route to the knockout stages has made them mentally stronger ahead of their last 16 clash on Sunday, says Danish forward Martin Braithwaite.

Croatia netted seven goals en route to wins over Nigeria, Argentina and Iceland, while the Danes had to battle their way to a win over Peru and draws with Iceland and France, scoring only two goals in the process.
