HIGHLIGHTS FROM 2010
COPA NYC HITS THE BIG APPLE
The Croatian Community in the New York City area is entering a team for this summers Copa NYC tournament and is looking for Croatian players over the age of 18 that live in the tri-state area of NY, NJ and CT. The Copa NYC is 32-team event which brings together amateur players from New York’s five boroughs playing for their “national” teams. Cosmos Copa was created to bring New Yorkers together to enjoy the city’s rich cultural diversity through the spectacle of soccer.
The 4 major Croatian Soccer Clubs in NYC (NY Croatia, NY Polet, Istra and Rudar Club) have joined together to organize a team that will compete in the Copa. We are looking for capable and dedicated soccer players that have at least 1 parent with ties to Croatia. Tryouts will be held on May 7th and May 14th. Contact Tommy Radalj (917) 648-0741 or Claudio Kolega (917) 494-7525 or email tradalj@yahoo.com for more information.

You are not serious…………I hope?!
We should get the guys in NY to document the day as well
I love how I know like all the links for the NY league. Sorry but Istra and Rudar are two places that can't cook to save their lives and don't do anything for me. So I don't support them and I have connections with Kolega. But that weekend, I am going to be up state for the after prom party and drinking like a mad man.
I just watched the video again and love it. This year the entire weekend should be documented. I'm looking forward to taking the video up a couple notches this year.
the 2010 video rules. love the smokva in the back. san jose is gonna bring it this year. last year we had a down year.
almost forgot…
I also created a link for this page on the right hand side of the home page. We will continue to update this page with any further details.
Looking forward to seeing all of you at the tournament this year. Last year was a huge success, hopefully, this year will be even better.
Special thanks to Tommy Radalj for giving us the heads up on the tournament in New York. All of you 18 and over Croats better come out and represent us well in the big apple.
