The first international break of 2024 is upon us and Croatia’s new kits have been unveiled. So what’s next? Here’s what you need to know about the two international friendlies that are taking place this week for the Vatreni:
-Croatia will now face Tunisia in Cairo, Egypt March 23rd instead of the 22nd (per HNS Twitter)
-the 4-team ‘Friendly Tournament’ between Croatia, Tunisia, Egypt, New Zealand was originally slated to be played in Saudi Arabia, however due to contract disputes, was moved to Egypt in the past week
-the winner of Croatia/Tunisia will face the winner of Egypt/New Zealand March 26th. The two losers will face off in the 3rd-place game March 26th.
-Martin Baturina (Dinamo Zagreb) and Josip Šutalo (Ajax) have been omitted from the squad due to injury. In their place, Marco Pašalić (Rijeka) and Duje Ćaleta-Car (Lyon) have been called up
Budimir might not play the 2 friendlies which sucks so expect petko and krama uptop
Injured??
I really wanted him to play to gel more with the boys
Frick
He’s sick…has a temperatura. Maybe the “propuh” got him.
All fun and games to go out with wet hair
Till it comes for you;)
Imam suze!
U19 Full time Croatia 2 v Germany 1.
Great result and well deserved, we had the better chances.
Next match on Saturday against Turkey who beat Romania 2 – 0.
nice win
U19 Full time Croatia 2 v Germany 1.
Great result and well deserved, we had the better chances.
Next match on Saturday against Turkey who beat Romania 2 – 0.
U19 Borna Buljan saves a penalty in the 89 min.
Leading 2 – 1 with 5 minutes to go.
HT U19 Croatia 2 v Germany 1.
Germany with most of possession, however we are very dangerous on the break. Pavic with a good shot in the 7th minute to give us the lead with Germany equlising around the 33rd minute. Roko Brajkovic with a stunning strike from outside the box, latched on to a clearance from a corner in the 41st minute.
Luka Vuskovic looks very impressive as our right hand side central defender.
Give it up!
Vušković is too big to play nogomet! grrrrrr
I was never the one to complain about his height.
I know. I’m just having fun with some of the regulars constantly harping on and on about his height.
Should have played handball or basketball
He’s a bust
Send him to Saudi
I really hope he pans out if only to shut up the truth once and for all;)
Jk truth, we need you and your antics to make this place work
But ya why can’t we give a guy like vuskovic a call up to get a taste of the big boys
My guess the experience can be very humbling and teaching them the future is bright, but you can’t let up.
The more luka sticks around and these young guys can see what’s possible but showing what it takes to be a pro day and day out is most important
Brajkovic wonder goal
28 yards out – perfect technique outside of the boot top corner
Candidate for best Croatia goal seen of 2024
Incredible
6 goals in last 10 U19 matches
Hopefully he can step it up for Hajduk
I would like to give credit on here to the poster who has been hyping up Roko Brajković… the same way he hyped up a teenage Gvardiol.
Blessed is he among sinners.
Was it you maminjo;)?
I think I heard his name once on here
Hope he can continue
Remember when Bradaric had that wonder goal against England and fell off?
But he does seem to have found some game again
U17 Euro Qualifier in Portugal – Croatia 3 Germany 3 with matches against Portugal and Republic of Ireland to follow. Four penalties in the match all clear cut, we converted two of ours and luckily in the 90th minute our goalkeeper saved one to earn us a point. We were a bit unlucky the wind started to blow a gale in the second half making it hard to get out of our half but we managed to hold on. Marijan Budimir (took Hajduk to Youth CL final) is the coach replacing recently sacked Robert Jarni.
For those that have access to MaxSport1 at 15:30 Croatian time in Varazdin you can watch U19 Euro Qualifier Croatia v Germany.
Thanks Mart – good update / post

Luka Vuskovic starting at left-back (not CB) for U19s
I thought someone said he’s right footed ?
Pretty odd for a right-footer to play LB (he’s playing left CB in Poland)
@Davor – plz watch him and give us ur verdict – thx
Im guessing Dalic will mix and match at moment the 11 look like Livi Juranovic Erlic/Vida Gvardiol Sosa MBK Ivanusec Krama Budimir then if we play egipat Livi Stanisic Erlic Vida Gvardiol MBK Pasalic Budimir Ivanusec
Marco Pasalic as a left footed, right winger, provides a skill set we have needed for decades.
He is direct and dynamic dribbler.
I don’t care about his Rijeka – HNL form.
I want to see him on the pitch this weekend.
With our RB’s over lapping, we need a left winger that can cut inside and attack the final third.
Budimir will occupy defenders so our wingers will find space.
1000% Soul Champ
He reminds me of a typical PL winger
That’s the problem for Dalic – we’re never had a player like that (or at least nobody comes to mind that reminds me of him) – so he doesn’t know what to do w/ him !
DCC lol
Why we taking 5 CBs for friendlies
The guy is 27.5 y.o.
And hasn’t played for us in 2 yrs (3-0 loss to Austria with Pongracic)
He hasn’t earned the call up (not part of the “family” that qualified us)
So no reason to call him up
Meanwhile Spain calling up 17 y.o. CB Pau Cubarsi
If not Luka Vuskovic (than some other < 21 y.o.)
This aversion to calling up young players is silly (and holding us back)
Also – weirdly Perisic is just training w/ team in Zagreb – he's not flying to Cairo for the games
DALIC IS DALIC
AND HE IS SHIT
FYI to all those looking where to watch the game. Get yourselves IPTV with pre loaded hrvati channels. They’re only $10-$15 per month. Hamilton pple, there is someone who provides this in hamilton for $15/month. All Canada, usa and euro channels
Why was Pašalić not on the initial roster?
The guy looked great his first two games with the team giving them a different type of player at midfield (speed).and he had to be called up due to injury? It doesn’t make sense.
Didn’t Baturina play the full 90 for Dinamo vs Rudeš? What is his injury?
Folks have been saying he’s been slumping??
I don’t want HNL
I rely on the boys here to report
Special thanks to fan “gbvh” for posting where to watch it since it’s not obvious like in the “old days”.
I was on a Madrid forum and some were really hoping luka doesn’t play against man city
I know his legs aren’t what they once were
But he’s been showing he’s got the goods
But maybe against man city it’s not enough
On any “fan” forum you’ll find pretty much every opinion. Then come the pile-ons and arguments. Everyone’s a coach now. Rinse repeat…
That said I do suspect, given this season’s minutes, that he won’t be a starter. Lots of young midfielders they are committed to.
Dude, if its managingmadrid…there are some real losers on there…an incel woke loser from San Fran who hates Cros/Slovenians/Hungarians, etc…and then one complete idiot who is a 1/8th Portuguese dummy from Canada….who must have got beat up by a Cro in school or something….. lol. Luka has been great for Real in his appearances. Saved the day vs Sevilla and was amazing vs Celta with two beauty corner assists.
PS The woke leftard/incel from San fran should worry about getting car jacked or robbed in broad daylight when not avoiding s.hit on the streets every day there…lol.
So we have these two matches for prep
What else before euro?
I know it’s been talked about but I don’t recall
Unfortunate about
“Shootalo” and “Marty Batina”
Wanted especially to see Batina do his thing
Me too, was really looking forward to see him in midfield with luka and kova/broz. He has such quality, for me his biggest flaw is that he tends to wait to pick up the ball in space, and then use his quality, rather than inject rhythm to the game or try to be always available. For this reason I thought we might actually see a better baturina for the NT because the other midfielders will give him the ball when he wants it. The higher level he plays the more he will shine, he has to play in a good team. Dinamo? Good but a bit scratchy
He played like this against AEK. He was the lone bright spot in the offense.
Nice. I’ll try to find the game somewhere
Anyone know if the Croatia club in Hamilton is showing this game? Nothing on their website…last stress free chance to watch the boys before Euros…
On their booking calendar, the hall and restaurant are booked for events, so I assume they’re not showing Saturday’s game.
I just checked DAZN, it doesn’t even show that it supports any Croatian games anymore.
Under international friendlies and teams, it has every other damn country but us.
Please 🙏 let me know if this true so I can cancel this useless app and replace it with something guaranteed.
Anyway we can watch this?
Is it on DAZN?
As posted in yesterday’s new-kits thread:
•
Croatia-Tunisia match on the weekend is scheduled to be shown on the FIFA+ website.
Thanks for this information. Best regards from Poland from Croatia fan.
Its also on Nova TV in croatia if you have access to live Croatian TV.
@Eric
How do I get NOVA tv in Canada 🇨🇦 is it as simple as downloading an app and paying a subscription?
My stari has a subscription to “Net TV plus” which I can log into as well. I think he pays about $25-30 a month. They have all the Croatian channels and all the balkan channels. The less expensive option is getting an IPTV…apparently you can watch just about everything. I used to subscribe to SAAN.TV, but i’m not sure if they still exist.
There is a Croatian guy in Hamilton that will get you all the channels for $200/yr on an Amazon firestick…and you get literally everything channel on tv (Croatian, American, you name it).
you have his name/info?
