It was a super slow weekend for the Croatians in club play. However, in a huge Serie A match that could have kept Inter Milan in first place, Marcelo Brozović supplied the lone assist for Inter in a 1-1 draw vs. Fiorentina. The draw keeps Inter and Juventus level on points with Brozović playing an integral party of the Inter midfield this season. With their loss against … [Read more...] about Croatians Around Europe *XV*

By 29 Comments

Nikola Vlašić is on fire! He has arrived much sooner than expected and you should all be getting Croatian "Vlašić" jerseys before everyone and their mom has one. At only 22 years old, Vlašić is making a name for himself in Europe and Everton should be kicking themselves for selling him to CSKA Moscow in the summer. Vlašić has helped CSKA Moscow pull within one point … [Read more...] about Vlašić Continues To Shine

Dinamo Bottle European Season After Tremendous Start

By 40 Comments

It's a real shame Dinamo Zagreb won't be moving forward in any European tournament this season. They started off so hot and controlled their own destiny - and although they should have deserved better regarding their European season - did they really? At the end of the day, the reigning Croatian champions only picked up two points in five group stage matches after opening up … [Read more...] about Dinamo Bottle European Season After Tremendous Start

Rakitić Drowning In Barcelona: He Deserved Better

By 41 Comments

In what could be Ivan Rakitić's last full month in Barcelona - because he is 100% leaving by the summer - I'd like to take this time to reflect on one of the most overshadowed and underrated European football players of the past year and a half. Sure, we (Croatians) know who Rakitić is and exactly what he can do on the pitch. But even Raketa was overshadowed at the … [Read more...] about Rakitić Drowning In Barcelona: He Deserved Better

HNL Week 17

By 46 Comments

Questions are abound after an absolute thumping of Hajduk Split by Rijeka on Sunday evening, but no one knows where to put the blame. Rijeka waltzed into Poljud on Sunday and handed Hajduk an eviction notice by way of a 4-0 beat down that left the nearly 14,000 in attendance shocked and angry. The loss was also the first loss Hajduk has suffered at Poljud since July … [Read more...] about HNL Week 17

Croatians Around Europe *XIII*

By 11 Comments

Mario Pašalić was supposed to be Croatia's next big midfielder in 2014 when Hajduk Split sold him to Chelsea for  £3 million. But it never happened. As Chelsea does to many of their smaller signings, Pašalić was loaned out immediately and never got a chance to put on a Chelsea shirt. At only 24 years-old, Pašalić has already been a 'journey man' in Europe. He has … [Read more...] about Croatians Around Europe *XIII*
