If football teams were stocks, I would say healthcare stocks like $UnitedHealth(UNH)$ best represents Croatia.
Croatia went overtime and penalty shootout for both matches against Japan and Brazil and they camethrough as winner. They are now in the the semi-finals and will be playing against Argentina.
Based on statistics, Croatia is unbeaten if the match goes into extra time/ penalty. It came no surprise when they beat both Japan and Brazil when the matches went overtime.
Why UNH best represents Croatia is because of itsperformance year-to-date. At the point of writing (10 December 2022), UNH is up 7.38% for the year and this is despite the entire market being down. The resilience of the counter/ sector is similar to Croatia, playing against difficult team, dragging it outto over/ extra time and triumphed over all the odds. Healthcare sector is known to be defensive and Croatia defended well for their past matches with a number of clean sheets!
