Your comment probably reflects you and your Ivy League kids more than any Aussie-Hrvat.
Unfortunately, Croatia has not had a new player from Australia don the checkers in quite sometime. I fear a similar fate is hitting Australia that his most diaspora. Over time, the following generations feel more distant from the once homeland. Australia is no different and they are quickly moving from the simunic side of the scale to the pulisic side
