If Yugoslavia still existed, I'd fancy their team to win the World Cup. The defence looks slightly shaky, but no more so than, say, Belgium's or England's. But what riches in midfield, with decent strikers. Apart from Perisic, Modric, Matic and Rakitic, there'd be players like Perisic, Pjanic and Tadic. Going for a superannuated 4-4-2, a Yugoslavia 2018 side could look like this:
Begovic (or Subasic)
Kolarov, Vida, Nastasic, Ivanisevic
Modric, Rakitic, Matic, Milinkovic-Savic
Mitrovic, Dzeko (Mandzukic)
Begovic (or Subasic)
Kolarov, Vida, Nastasic, Ivanisevic
