It wasn't the most eventful match we could have expected and it was a (slightly) deflected Gareth Bale shot which turned into an own goal, but in the end, Luka Modrić and Real Madrid will play in their second Champions League Final in the past three seasons. Modric got the start and played 80 minutes but should have finished a ball when he was all alone in front of goal after … [Read more...] about Modrić, Real Madrid Back In CL Final, Will Play Atletico In Milan
Modrić, Kovačić Carry Croatian Torch In Champions League
By 240 CommentsCroatians have been spoiled for nearly a decade when it comes to Champions League.

#tbt The Beginning
By 47 CommentsI was going through our YouTube channel this week when I ran into this little hidden gem. I haven't watched it in probably 2-3 years but it really got me laughing.

Croatians Around Europe *XXXIII*
By 62 CommentsSPAIN Saturday's version of El Clasico was more about what happened off the pitch than on. Sure, Real Madrid came back to win with 10 men at Camp Nou, but the result will have ZERO impact on Barcelona winning yet another La Liga title. So what did I take away from the game? The match started with a minute of silence for European legend Johan … [Read more...] about Croatians Around Europe *XXXIII*

By 207 CommentsCroatia easily defeated Israel 2-0 in Osijek Wednesday with both goals coming from Inter Milan teammates Ivan Perišić and Marcelo Brozović.
