Ex croatia star vukojevic must beat nigeria advance russia 2018

I think there may be some confusion here!

Ivan Vukojević is a former Croatian footballer, not a star. He played for Croatia's national team from 2004 to 2014, but he is not a current player.

Regarding the 2018 FIFA World Cup, Croatia did indeed advance to the final, where they lost to France. However, they did not need to beat Nigeria to advance. Croatia finished second in their group behind Argentina, but ahead of Nigeria and Iceland. They then defeated Denmark in the round of 16, Russia in the quarterfinals, and England in the semifinals to reach the final.

So, to summarize, Ivan Vukojević is a former Croatian footballer, and Croatia's advancement to the 2018 World Cup final was not dependent on beating Nigeria.
