After a 4-2 opening match defeat against England, Croatia look to rebound against North American side Panama in Toronto Tuesday night. A victory will put them back in the driver’s seat of a knockout round berth. I personally expect Dalić to release the hounds after scoring two in the 1st half vs. England. Anything short of a 3 or 4-goal performance from our beloved Vatreni would shock me.
However, Dalić is reported to be rotating three players out of the lineup: Vušković, Musa, Mario Pašalić.
Official lineup will be confirmed one hour prior to kickoff. What are your predictions for Panama?



This is tournament football – scoring more than 3 against anyone but the tiniest minnows is a high bar. I’ll be happy if they score a couple the quality of the ones they put past England, and eliminate defensive errors. That would show me that they are ready for Ghana and knockout matches.
Hopefully the stories about starting XI are not true, because those are some downgrades that don`t add anything tactically, debatably apart from Kova.
Specific predictions?
– Me crying like a bitch during the anthem.
– Kovačić comes in only once Luka is depleted. He gets a proper ovation for his 200th cap, and fittingly hands the reigns to his trusted friend.
– Vušković starts. Every game. For the next 10 years. No questions.
– Musa or Šutalo are dropped for their marking during Kane’s goal.
– Budimir starts, giving way to Musa later. Message sent.
– The Baturina – Sučić combination strikes again (in reverse).
– Marco Pašalić finally gets a start, subbed late for nearing-form Kramarić.
– We will secure a 2 goal lead within 65 minutes, and begin protecting starters vs a dirty Panama squad.
The team left the Alexandria hotel at 9am today
Hajduk will make some more euros off Luka V to Brighton (780k based on 52m)
Za Hajduk je ključno razdoblje od Vuškovićeve 12. do 16. godine. FIFA-ina pravila su jasna: za svaku godinu treniranja igrača između 12. i 15. rođendana klubu pripada 0.25 posto odštete, a za godine od 16. do 23. rođendana po 0.5 posto. Ako se Hajduku uračuna cijelo razdoblje od 12. do 16. godine, splitskom klubu pripada ukupno 1.5 posto odštete.
Koliko bi točno Hajduk zaradio?
Računica je stoga vrlo jednostavna. U slučaju transfera vrijednog 50 milijuna eura, Hajduk bi dobio 750 tisuća eura. Ako bi se transfer ostvario za 52 milijuna eura, koliko prema Romanovim navodima iznosi ponuda Brightona, Hajdukov dio iznosio bi oko 780 tisuća eura.
Da bi zaradio okruglih milijun eura, Vuškovićev transfer morao bi dosegnuti iznos od oko 66.7 milijuna eura. Na transferu od 60 milijuna eura Hajduk bi uprihodio 900 tisuća eura.
