Croatian fans rejoice!
The World Cup is set; and Croatia is going to start the party against hosts Brazil in Sao Paulo on June 12th with the whole world watching. Not many teams get to open up a World Cup, so as Croatians, we should feel honored and privileged that our little nation of 4.5 million people has the chance to be showcased at game #1 of the World Cup against 5-time champions Brazil, in the “spiritual home” of world football.
But now the breakdown begins.
Croatia scored big time in the draw and fans alike should feel great about it. Let’s break it down.
Croatia will be playing Brazil, in their house, albeit without star striker Mario Mandžukič in the World Cup opener. The Vaterni should feel like they’re playing with house money during this match. No one will expect them to win it and they should take all positives from this match as a morale booster for the next two games. Even a draw should be considered a victory as Brazil is expected to take all 9 points from this group. Can the Croatian defense hold a speedy Neymar and company to a goal or less? Possibly.
Croatia played like champs against Spain at Euro 2012. There’s no reason they can’t do it again against Brazil. We all know the Vatreni show up in big games against big teams. And what bigger game is there?
This was the ‘sexy’ opponent I was looking for. Not only is it a South American team, whom we never play, but it’s against monsters Brazil. There will be huge hype going into this match, not only for Brazilian and Croatian fans, but for football supporters worldwide. Sure we could have been drawn with Switzerland in a weaker group. But what fun is that? We should consider ourselves lucky for drawing Brazil.
Following the Brazil match, Croatia will travel 1,831 miles (2,947 km), which is a 4-hour flight, six days later into the heart of the Amazon to take on Cameroon in Manaus. It is expected to be extremely humid for this match as Croatia faces its first ever African side in a World Cup.
But what do we know about Cameroon? Not much.
However, they were one of the two weakest African sides to qualify for the World Cup and by far the weakest team to come out of Pot 2 (you can put Algeria in there too). We’ve all heard of their captain and star striker, Samuel Eto’o, who now plays for Chelsea, but by the time the World Cup kicks off, Eto’o will be 33 years old. Niko Kranjčar’s teammate at QPR, Benoit Assou-Ekotto, will hold down the back line for Cameroon while Barcelona’s Alex Song would start in the midfield if healthy and in form. The rest of the team is composed of players playing around Europe in the French and Turkish leagues.
How did they qualify? Cameroon’s qualification to the World Cup was not impressive. They topped a group which consisted of Libya, Congo and Togo; only scoring eight goals from six matches. After securing a berth to the final round of qualifying, Cameroon took on Tunisia in a two-legged playoff with a berth to the World Cup on the line. The first leg finished scoreless in Tunisia with Cameroon opening up the floodgates in the second leg, winning 4-1. Cameroon has trouble scoring goals. If Croatia can score early and open up the The Indomitable Lions, they should expect three points from this match, as should we.
Mexico-Croatia 2002 World Cup
From there, Croatia will travel another staggering 1,761 miles (4-hour flight) to the coastal city of Recife, where they will play Mexico in what should be the match of the group on June 23rd. At this point, both Mexico and Croatia should be sitting on three points with the winner going to the Round of 16 whilst the loser goes home. Whichever teams comes into the game with a better goal differential will have the upper hand as a draw should get them through. It’s the same situation Croatia has put themselves in during their last two World Cups. They needed wins against Ecuador in 2002 and Australia in 2006 to reach the next round, but failed on both attempts.
Mexico and Croatia are in the same boat coming into the World Cup. Both sides have new coaches, had horrible qualifying campaigns and needed playoff wins to make it to Brazil. Mexico needed two miraculous last minute goals from the United States against Panama just to make it to the inter-confederation playoff against New Zealand, whom they pummeled. Although Mexico only utilized domestic players for the playoffs, expect striker Javier “Chicharito” Hernandez and Giovanni dos Santos to be on the roster come June. Croatia shouldn’t be intimidated by this smaller, yet faster, Mexican side. I give the Vatreni a 70% chance to win this game in a ‘win or go home’ scenario.
This is a group that Croatia can absolutely get out of. Cameroon and Mexico are no world beaters and we should all go into the Brazil match like kids on Christmas morning.
Croatia Group A grade: A-
Round 2: Coming to Brazil Summer 2014
And should Croatia get out of the group, which I predict they do, they would most likely face a Spain or Netherlands in the Round of 16, which is an entirely different conversation for another day.
Be happy folks. Lijepa Naša is opening the 2014 World Cup in Brazil!
Croatia to play Kosovo in a friendly?! What a waste!!!!!
@karadzic je peder
Crnagora is the armpit of Europe.
@666
Thanks for letting everyone know who and WHAT you are.
Your use of capital letters speaks for itself.
Crnagora has better beaches because there aren’t a bunch of smelly albanian men with croatian men it must suck for slavonac being the only croatian man without an albanian boy but at least he got a latina heh heh she gots a free green card
ahahaaa, ja sam finuo srednju pomorsku I visu pomorsku u dubrovniku, polozio kapetanski u luckoj kapetaniji u gruzu 1982, navego na atlantskoj, mediteranskoj,jadroliniji I par stranih kompanija imo u YUGOSLAVIJI vise solada nego pola vas po tim jamerikama. u tom vasem san pedru sam prvi put bio u svibnju 1976-te takodje I u long beach-u
Sudi mi
Ignore that fool. He needs to spend some time on the Croatian coast which includes all the islands, Dubrovnik and all the way north to Pula. Yes that is all of Hrvatska. 🙂
Not greater Serbia. Lol
@666
You are one ignorant SOB. What exactly is your education?
I’ve never understood people who feel it necessary to put down others to somehow feel that makes them smarter than others.
To top it off, you feel it necessary to demonstrate your supposed superiority to others who ancestry is the same as yours? Sad.
Learn a little tolerance, it would make you a much better person and a little closer to how Jesus implored people to behave towards their fellow man.
Christmas is coming, show some goodwill and think a little bit about your comments.
ahahaa, sto ti je kompleks ovih pobegulja, naricu odje, pametuju I djele savjete Hrvatima u HRVATSKOJ, a sa puskom ih ne bi ocero u hrvatsku da idu zivjeti , meni ovi takozvani iseljenici lice na ove…..

… that Croatia has a once in a lifetime chance through sport to publicize itself as a top destination…
———————————-
Croatia nikad nije bila top destination nego dalmacija, otoci I “dubrovacka republika” koji nikad nisu bili dio hrvatske pogotovu ne Dubrovnik koji cak nije bio ni dio hrvatske do 1945-te.
ovo ti je “hrvatska”….
http://tinyurl.com/q6go7t8
Sometimes I have to laugh at the stupidity of these comments. The above bozo thinks we suffer from “second class” issues. Lol
Spend some time in Croatia as people don’t suffer this.
Croatia is a small nation both size and land mass. So what?
Yes we are up yo the task. We are going to Brazil. You want inferior complex. Look at Serbia.
You want top destination. Every year Dubrovnik is in the top five places to visit. Croatia listed in Forbes last year as top ten. Keep your pr crap to yourself. We Hrvati are doing well.
One big question???? Why is it that every time without failure, when Croatians including Kovac speak about Croatia, they refer to it as “little or small”. Every time Croatia is in a position to publicize itself as a destination the first thing they do is define their country as small before being asked the question. My thought is that Croats still suffer from some “second class” citizenry issues from former Yugoslav regime and it reveals a deep seeded inferiority complex of not feeling up to the task. So I suggest an obviously more positive slogan, rather than looking at Big Brazil vs. Small Croatia. How about the possibility of getting rid of this inferiority complex totally and exploiting the fact that Croatia has a once in a lifetime chance through sport to publicize itself as a top destination. But it makes me think that Croats aren’t smart enough to recognize a PR opportunity if it fell on their heads, this includes the government of Croatia, the coach, HNS and the rest of them. Hire some competent people (foreigners) and stop with the little and small statements. When driving along the coast any tourist sees enormous mountains and a never ending sea…. duh!!!!!! So let’s be bold and instead of saying. Croatia, a small country for a big holiday (the dummest campain in the history of tourism), it would be much better if people woke up from their brain dead stupidity and put out a campaign pre opening game vs Brazil….. CROATIA! NOTHING SMALL ABOUT IT! And that I give to you for free. Most companies charge millions. Let’s see if Croats understand the value of the message.
Is it really you, Joe Simunic ???? 😛
You’ve got it all wrong.
We’re always up for the big games. WC’02 we beat Italy, Euro’08 we beat Germany, WC’06 best performance came against Brazil.
The minnows, the games we’re meant to win are danger games. WC’02 we lost to Ecuador, WC’06 we were terrible against Japan, Euro’08 terrible against Austria etc.
My prediction circa WC’14: great performance playing Brazil, a loss or draw against Cameroon and draw against Mexico.
The exhilarating high of opening the WC will transition into complacency and drudgery of so so games against the other two.
People still bother replying to that arsehole?
As i said previously, maybe we should be flattered serbs go to the trouble to seek out our site and comment here and are generally infatuated with out successes???
Prolly each time Ivica Kostelic wins a gold medal at the Sochi Olympics he’ll he back on here saying some shit about how he’s a nazi or serb.. whatevs..
One thing i liked about this world cup draw – no serbia
Oh, that’s right, we crushed u guys 3-1 over 2 legs.. have fun with that :)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
@Denis-Thanks for thinking of me.I honestly have not been around too much lately and have just skimmed over comments now and again.Life is very busy at this time of the year in all areas.Off on holidays to Queensland shortly.I hope to get back to more mentoring soon.I think Ziva has been pretty good-Yes??(like I always say,I think he has good prospects,just needs some gentle pointing in the right direction)
-As for Zorro and Karadzic,sorry,dont want to waste too much of my time with them.No real hopes for improvement.I actually made my typical rushed comment to Karadzic yesterday as Anonymous ( As I forget to sign in)about being able to be confident etc etc.
@Zorro-My friend,you are giving us some entertainment,but PLEASE,I dont read your stuff any more as it truly doesnt make sense.Try and keep it shorter.
@Karadzic-Thanks for your obsession with us,as I said yesterday as “Anonymous” you guys cant get enough of us after 20 plus years,you still act like a jealous ex.We have moved on and found new love.Get over it.You entertain us, and thanks for the laughs,but you have your own problems to worry about.Kosovo/Albanian sports.com will be up and running soon.You should worry about your own backyard more.
-Anyhow,I am busy.Have a Sretan Bozic and a safe New Year. 🙂

why are there so many haters? Croatia is in the E.U Croatia placed 3rd in 98′ Croatia has all the coast and water in the world 1,000 plus islands baby take that to the bank 🙂
Simunic*
great video just got goosebumps all over 🙂 and man Suminic is the most proud player there he looked like he was about to cry during the national Anthem, cant say the same about Dado
The more that Zorro types, ive started to realize that he is either younger than the age of 10, or he is just mentally retarded, or both. Nothing wrong with that. Just sad that hes wasted mine and others time replying to him.
Has anyone seen the pics of the base camp that Hrvatska is looking into? Holy Christ, I just hope our players dont look at it as a vacation and get drunk all day long (of course Niko Kovac wont let that happen) but by the looks of the place, that wont be an easy task.
Thank God Stimac is no longer coach. Can you imagine his press conference after the draw to all the Brazilian media? He would be telling them how brazil wouldnt cross the halfway line and hed probably wouldve named Sammir captain for the tournament.
typical Serbs… always relying on Croatians.. They’re like that ex that cant let go. Just remember without Croatians you guys would be Turks.
Croatia has it all! Serbia can just dream and wish!
Zorro Serbia is as as popular as Kazakhstan!
Zorro wisdom strikes again!
I think we need Ziva istinas step dad to take over.
.
God Bless Vukovar!!! That’s how you ass-rape a Serbian megalomaniac (zorro)!!!
With the truth!
THE ONLY SUCCESSOR OF YUGOSLAVIA IS SERBIA AN GLAD THEY GOT ALL THE CREDITS FROM AL YUGOSLAVIAS, THE KIMGDOM, THE COMUNIS REPUBLIC, THE FEDERAL REPUBLIC AND FROM SERBIA&MONTENEGRO THEY ARE THE RIGHT OWNERS FROM AL THEIR CREDIT, YOU CROATIANS ARE NOT JUST STICK TO YOU MARE 3RD PLACE IN FRANCE 98 YOU WONT GET MORE THAN THAT IN YOUR ENTIRE LIFE CAUSE CROATIA IS A NOBODY IN EUROPE A IN THE WORLD MUAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA
I give the guy free advice and he wants to hack my site.
Well, he did take my advice and took a spelling class. Glad I can help.
Bravo Denis.
I love listening to this retard zorro. Always a good laugh.
@ Vukovar very impressed. You did your homework.
Bog I Hrvati. Idemo u Brazil.

@Zorro,
It hurts ha. I’m giving you good advice. You should take it.

.
denis svicic, yiou are an asshole 🙂
vukovar 3 players, were croatians so stop trying to make that the yugoslavia that won in chile was full of crats o, and before this thug name djukanovic enters montenegro politics most of montenegrins see themself as serbians so hats not difference with serbia, and by now taking off the minorities of croatianss, bonians and albanian from montenegro population , almost from 100% of montenegro population 90% till feel serbian and only the 10% supporters of djukanovic feel montenegrins , so stop inventing lame things the yugoslavia that won in chile was full of serbians including wht you call now montenegrins , and just 3 croatians son that team was full of serbians with just 3 croatians sget over it Serbia is the only one sucessor of yugoslavia so they deserve all the crdit ,and croatia deserve non ,zero so ger over it , were is the stupid croat palyer that show a t-shirt of the euro 2000 the day te serbians eliminated crotia from the euro2000 muahahahahahahahha.
Karadžić je Heroj secretly loves us all. He can’t shake this website. I will give you some help. Tell them about Novak Dokovic and all his titles. Maybe Serbia can schedule a friendly with Brazil. That would be spectacular. 2014 would be a success for Serbian football. That should piss off all the croats.
@Zorro,
You should quit while you are ahead. It will only get worse on this site. You will continue to get roasted day in day out. I feel bad for you, you have nothing.
@zorro
The European championships just called, and they want to know when you are going back to the tournament? LOL!
It will be 16 years when you go back to the Euros!!! Sixteen years!!! LOL!!!! And the only reason you are going back is because UEFA changed the format from 16 to 24 teams. From here on in to be known as the “Serbia rule”.
Question – What is Serbia’s contribution to football?
Answer – Absolutely nothing. Jack squat!
Once Montenegro left your side it showed that you have nothing at all to contribute. The last time I checked you have never beaten us in a game. Be thankful that Boban did not play in 99 or you would have lost that game as well. That is not an excuse but it is the truth and you know it.
Can you please let me know how you guys are a football powerhouse? Also, are you Yugoslavia or are you Serbia? Good luck on continuing with your ability to be proud of nothing and accomplishing nothing and at the same time telling everyone how great you are at doing nothing. LOL!!
@zorro
“Yugoslavia won the youth world cup in Chile something you are not gonna get ,never in your life”
Most of the goals were scored by Croatian players! LOL!!!!!
1987 FIFA World Youth Championship
Group Stage – 9 goals scored in total for Group A
6 goals scored by Croatians and 3 by Montenegrins
Playoff Round – 5 goals scored
4 goals scored by Croatians and 1 by a Montenegrin
So let me make this simple for you. Out of 14 goals scored in that tournament, Croatians scored 10 goals and the Montenegrins with 4 goals and Serbia with a grand total of 0 goals. To wash it all down Boban scores the winning penalty kick against West Germany and the only goal in the game.
As if there was any doubt! Wow, you guys really helped out winning that tournament! LOL!!!!!!
You make this way too easy.
Takva je sudbina gastarbeiter igrača HR repke jer Eduardo i Sammir če igrati protiv svog Brazila, Joseph Simunich protiv svojih iz Australije, Ivan Rakitich se može sudariti protiv svoje Švicarske a brojni preostali protiv svojih iz BIH repke.
what did croatia accomplish oh yeah just a mare 3rd position in france 98, after than that nothing else, no world cups no, euros rophies ,at list Serbia under de name of Yugoslavia won the youth world cup in Chile something you are not gonna get ,never in your life 🙂
Serbia sucks in nogomet. They got rocked by argentina 6-0 in wc 2006, lost all three games. they dont qualify for shit. they dont win anything. i mean albania took kosovo away from them, i can see that the serbs are bitter…..haha….fuckin loser…..bosna is better than you guys…..Yea root for Greece…..fuckin losers…..serbs will never accomplish what croatia has in nogomet, EVER!!!!!!! World Cup 1998 YUGOSLAVIA had a chance, but Davids from Holland broke your lil hearts….haha…..And then we be holland…..hmm….were just better all around
On the poll, there is one missing option:
“No. They can’t beat Brazil, Mexico OR Cameroon”.
🙁
Spain and Chile are going through not the Netherlands
JUAHAHAHAHAHAH ,first of all , im not mexican, what you assume because im latinamerican im mexican this show your ignorance, oh yeah i know croas think they are the only once in the worlsd juahahahaha and secondly, when you gonna stop crying about sebia being given all yugoslavia credits on uefa and fifa yugoslavia was always made up from serbian players just cause croatia had 3 o 5 ,montenegro 3 and the others had 1 player it didnt make yugoslavia less serbian get it over Serbia is the only yugoslavia successor , maybe you beat serbia for the world cup but the didnt do what if im not mistaken stanic did in zagred for the euro qualifiers after scoring the goal he went to celebrate his goal took his jersey off and show a t-shirt saying euro 2000 what a laughing stack . But at the end you didnt even qualify your nightmare Yugoslavia did so shut up muahahahahahahahahahha
FIFA korigirala satnice: Hrvatska i Kamerun igraju u ponoć
FIFA je nakon ždrijeba Svjetskog prvenstva u Brazilu ipak korigirala neke satnice, tako je promijenjeno i vrijeme odigravanja utakmice 2. kola Hrvatska – Kamerun u Manausu.
Naši će reprezentativci, umjesto 18. lipnja u21 sat po hrvatskom vremenu, taj susret igrati istoga dana, ali tri sata kasnije, tek u ponoć (18 sati po lokalnom vremenu). FIFA je termin naše utakmice zamijenila s terminom susreta Španjolska – Čile, koja će se tako igrati u 21 sat po srednjoeuropskom vremenu. Svjetski prvaci svakako su televizijskim gledateljima atraktivniji od Hrvatske i Kameruna, a i auditorij španjolskoga gledateljstva je, naravno, neusporedivo veći od hrvatskog.
Nije to jedina promjena termina, tako je susret Engleska – Italija pomaknut s tri sata u noći 15. lipnja pomaknut na ponoć, zamijenjen je termin sa susretom Obala Bjelokosti – Japan. Također, Belgija i Rusija neće igrati u ponoć, već u 18 sati po našemu vremenu.
Tu se promjena dogodila rošadama termina između te utakmice i susreta Južna Koreja – Alžir te SAD – Portugal.
Što ako neka katoličko Hrvatska udruga zatraži referendum da samo Hrvati smiju igrati za reprenzetaciju???Proći će Eduardo kao u Njemačkoj,tada je bio žrtva tatine ljubavi prema sinu….
@zorro
Pinchi puto!
@karadzic je peder
Pusi ga!
5:29 am???…..jel to PST odje dvije ure poslije podne
skupina je laka, tu nije problem…brazil ce nas pregaziti, s kamerunom I meksikom mozemo….problem je da u slucaju prolaska iste “natrcavamo” na spanjolsku ili nizozemsku, sto ce biti kraj naseg puta u brazil….
^^^^^^
Argentina for friendly instead of Chile for obvious reasons.
We get to face a top SA team and they will fancy us a good prep for BiH.
Need to have real friendlies to see which of our young ballers are ready.
U Boj u Boj u Boj !
Kuku ri Ku.
Novi je dan.
Mi smo srecki.
What a draw!
HNS is on the upswing.
Brazil in Brazil to kick off the World Cup is the best thing that has ever happened to the repka.
It is just the external support that Kovac will use to cultivate the inner focus in our preparation.
This is where Kovac will prove is worth in his due diligence.
We will be organized and solid against Brazil. Including Kovac, we played well against Brazil in 2006.
Brazil will be a great occasion.
Cameroon and Mexico will be a battle of attrition between them in that first match.
A fresh Mandzukic for a physical Cameroon side brings victory for us.
All to play for against Mexico in the final match.
Some of these other groups are beyond death.
Majke boze – USA !
Kovac needs to bring each every talented young baller. We cannot have tired legs going against Cameroon or Mexico.
6 months is a long time for a developing nogomentas .
Some of these young studs will come through.
Need to schedule friendlies with African team and Chile.
Not time for BS crews.
U Boj !
Ohh and put mexico in the european qualifying zone and they wouldn’t even sniff the world cup.. Your poor performance against teams in the concacaf is embarrassing itself.. Your team is nothing but weak players who play for your weak league and some players who ride the bench 24/7 on their teams.. Our players actually get playing time on big clubs real madrid, bayern munich, sevilla, inter milan for example
Finding it really funny that the serb and mexican worry about our team more than theirs. Please get off your knees and leave you’re really embarrassing yourself by taking the time to find a croatian website and keep coming back to it since you have nothing better to do but look at our NT. Oh and zorro how did it feel having to pray to your rivals that they win for you to get in?… Unlike you we can actually beat our rivals
There’s an issue here tho – shows how ridiculously young and inexperienced all our coaches are.. ironically our captain in that game vs brazil – which by wc standards was not that long ago – only 2 wc’s ago – is now the coach of our team !
Wouldnt see that with many countries.. But then again we all know Niko bleeds checkers so let’s just hope for the best from him for now..
So.. any chance Dudu to replace Mandzu (i mean cos of susp) in the opening game since its vs brazil in brazil ??????
i was just watching our anthem being sung by 30,000+ hrvati vs brazil in the link posted in the story
Simunic almost looks like he’s about to cry !
Although if that moment doesn’t bring a tear to your eye u ain’t no hrvat that’s for sure.. what a lovely moment and an honour we get to now open the wc vs brazil – im really pleased about this – it’s so great for us whatever the result ! : )
@Allen
Greece’s group is tough dude. 3 of the best teams in their regions. Probably the third most intriguing group to me after ours, and Germany’s.
Are you crazy karadizic. You Serbian men do not shower or shave and are infested with std’s. Please stick to your own kind.
Zorro I love you, but I also have to apologize for some things. I understand that you are mexican, yes? Well I have seen a recurring pattern where Croatian women are attracted to Serbian men, which leads Croatian men being single, which leads them to marrying Latinas (they really love the Croatian men… for their citizenship heh heh) ejj ante ne ukloniti ovaj koment
Man prso looks like a fucking knight. That is a scary looking man with a ponytail
Zorro if you knew anything you would know it would be very hard for Croatia to not qualify for a Euro anymore with the now expanded size it’s not as hard to get in anymore. Makes planning ahead much easier as we know we will be there, and I’d like to see more of France so maybe I can make a game. Even Srbija may be able to qualify in the new Euro format… And don’t forget we beat you guys 2-0
It’s going to be tough if we finish second, we will then play Australia, but i’ll still be happy we made it past the group stage!
What group is Serbia in again? LOL
Oh that’s right, your country fucking sucks at the game.
Croatia for the World Champs ! Vatreni means firely! ! Fire burns it all down so World watch for Croatia smaking this world cup down!!! Lets go CRO!
@zorro and karadzic
Do us all a favor and grab your little dicks and smack each other in the face with it.
Its gonna be great these next 7 months, the publicity Hrvatska will get with that opening game and Mexico being in our group, especially here in the states. You can turn any spanish channel on from now till June and youll hear the word Croacia mentioned countless times, and there will be smoking hot chicks popping out their dresses. What you wont hear mentioned, is the word “serbia”. On a more serious note, lets just hope our guys stay healthy and get some meaningful playing time, especially the ones in Italy these next few months.
Karadžić je Heroj understand ,this utase, they think their great team but they were beatd by scotland twice as far as they will go is to roun of 16 after that they will, be back home with their tail between their legs to be beaten in the euro 2016 qualifying in where they will not qualify to france 🙂
@Allen
Unless you’re an Aborgine, you’re not part Australian, and neither is Big Joe.
NK Susak stupid, utase i write like this because i like it , :), but at anytimeand any day in real life i can beat you speaking in english ,utase
@Karadzic-One more thing,the boys at the site have been very generous hosts to you,but typically your behaviour has been poor.Soon they will conduct Operation Oluja on you when their patience for you runs out for being a bad guset and you will be sent back to Serbia in a hurry on your tractor.(Does this sound familiar to you my friend??)Again,you dont hurt us,you make us laugh and feel proud that you guys still seem to need us so much after 20 odd years that you cant stay away from us.Thank you.
@Karadzic-We are going to Brazil,you are not.We are opening the World cup against Brazil,you are not.We are partying,you guys are pulling your dicks and saying”Go Greece”-this is sad.
We can be confident because we are there.We can be confident because we are better than you guys.We can be confident because we have the ability to beat big teams.We can be confident because we have finished as high as 3rd at a World cup,you have not.
Finally,we can be confident because you make us laugh by demonstrating how obsessed you guys are with us.We are NOT obseesed with you,because we dont care about you.
Couldn’t agree more with Ante. This is a pretty solid draw. Sure Greece, France, and Belgium got easier ones but not everything can be easy. Croatia got their gift with Iceland, can’t complain after that.
I love the national spotlight game against Brazil. Man that’s going to be a joy to see, whole world watching Croatia. Damn shame Manzo isn’t going to play, but hopefully they can put in a respectable performance. As long as they don’t lose by three or more goals, can’t be mad.
For all the San Pedro/California people out there, I’m planning to come this summer for the games against Brazil and Cameroon. Will keep you updated in the spring, but so far it’s looking good. I’ve been wanting to go there for years now, since Denis and Ante have been so cool coming to NY in 2010/2011. Now it’s my turn to pay them back. Hopefully I can make it happen.
Also relived Croatia isn’t playing Australia (I’m part Australian like everyone’s hero Big Joe) and Germany (they are scary).
Hej Karadžić, I hear the Hagg has a comfortable bed for you to sleep on. We are confident because we are croats, God gave us the most beautiful land and you, maybe not other Serbian people envy us. a beautiful country a the most prosperous of the balkans. You want Croatia so badly but you can never have it.
Sigh.
Just another example of how Croatia is Serbia’s entire world.
They are literally obsessed with us.
I feel sorry for them.
Ok I just have an honest question for you Croats… you guys are going to play Spain! You guys lost to Scotland, but are confident…
Very good group for us. Great chance to get into the round of 16. Croatia will be seen world wide. Fantastic!
Who will start in mandzo’s place?
@zorro
My Mexican landscaper speaks and writes better english than you….you fucking flake.
removed my comments? LOL
After our triumphant victories over Iceland and all the other powerhouses we crushed, I see us beating Brazil, & Germany setting up a major ass-whooping over Spain to take it all! Anybody else with me? Yea, thought so…..
Lets hope we open on the first game and finish tournament on its final day!!
@ Ante
Mexico have made the Round of 16 the last 5 straight World Cups. But there luck ends here, they will not make it 6 in a row.
I agree, this time around, I see us coming out ahead in a do or die situation in the last match. We are better this time around as opposed to ’02 and ’06.
Muahahahahah how im gonna laugh of you when you get back to your country, with the tail between your legs ahaahahahahahahah, this make me remember euro 2012 ireland vs extonia play-off ireland won to end up in the euro losing all their games one of them against you and irelans end up= the laghing stack of europe, now croatia vs iceland play-off world cup croatia won and croatia will end up losing the three games like ireland did so you will end up but this time as the laughing stack of the world muahahahah as uefa give ireland at that time an supose easy play-off and then see off ireland to a humiliation,back then ,now uefa and fifa will see of croatia be humiliated in the world cup so you and ireland are twins of being the laughing stack of europe and the world ahahahahahahahahah.
FUCK YEAH TIME TO GIVE SOME BRAZILIAN N00BS A FUCKNING SMASHING WOOOYAAAA BISHES !!
Anonymous I would suggest your albanian lovers to do the same
