Croatian internationals Luka Modrić and Nikica Jelavić faced off against each other from Dodger Stadium in Los angeles, California Saturday night in the 2013 Guinness International Champions Cup semifinal round. Modrić received the start for Real Madrid while Everton striker Nikica Jelavić came on at halftime. With Everton down 2-1 in the 62nd minute, Jelavić would one-time the bouncing ball inside the box with his back to goal to cut the Real Madrid lead in half. However, the Spanish giants would hang on to win 2-1.
After the match, we caught up with Luka Modrić and asked him about his first season at Real Madrid as well as the upcoming Croatia qualifier in Serbia. Here’s what he had to say:

Well, at least Luka looked a little more interested in the interview than Kranjcar did a few years ago.
LUKA LEGENDO SAMO PRCAJ :-)))))))) MODRIC MAC DADDY PLAYZ PIMP LOL!!!! :-)))))
Oh please another dumb ass post by Doktor Prie but of course it is superb as he plays to a certain crowd on this one. Funny how he leaves certain key points out re: Hajduk. Jebi ga that is life. People always want to change history.
Well done Ante! We know how dificult it is to land an interview.
I checked the papers and Sportske novosti, vecernji list and 24 sata ran the interview. Short 150 word article
well maybe he wont say he’s left wing but i would say i am for sure i vote greens actually

Ladies and gentlemen,
I’d like to officially congratulate Doktor Prle with CroatianSports.com’s 60,000th comment!
“Ha, I’ll never forget how the Boys, wittingly or not, used to write this particular graffiti:
“Da je sloboda i demokracija bio bi Dinamo a ne Kroacija. (If there was freedom and democracy it would be called Dinamo and not Croatia).”
Yeah, sure, the Boys will say they were challenging Tudjman’s “autocracy” and even – “dictatorship!” hahhahha only when it comes to the club’s name. But one can’t but notice the irony! LOL
When there was NO freedom and NO democracy, it was in fact Dinamo and NOT Croatia (not just the club, but the state of Croatia!) did not exist.
I will also remind everyone that there were many hands involved in the revolt that brought back Dinamo. And I will also tell you what that particular graffiti’s real meaning was:
“Da je slobode i demokracije, bilo bi Jugoslavije a ne Hrvatske.”
And, yes, Yugoslavs really believe their country was both free and democratic. Just ask them. They will tell you: “Oh, so popular elections didn’t exist – but the communists, within their leagues, did hold elections.” As far as freedom goes to them, their Yugoslavia was paradise.
Like I said, the “Balkans” are rife with a lot of very dumb fucking people. But, if they like it – let ‘em have it.
Only in Croatia can Tudjman be a dictator, and Tito a democrat. Only in Croatia. Dumb fucks.”
I have to admit im a n00b and didnt know the precise victory day (did my parents fail me ziva?)
but thanks for the info and posts above i got to send a lovely msg to my dad and it was a nice croat-male-bonding exercise thing so cheers for that info and the funny RACE reference ziva .. ( i dont get to see my dad all that much so things are appreciated )..
also on the reportage u mentioned above ziva.. fuck i am sick of people going on about “the poor serbs” and “how the serbs suffered”.. makes me want to puke .. UGHHH fucking hell : /
@Ziva:
LOL about the jocksniffing hierarchy.

No I am not majstore but now consider myself firmly established on the site with the mere conjecture of having a double alias.
What did majstore say?
Thompson said it best in his song – Eh Što Im Se Povampire Lica Kad Se Vije Naša Šahovnica,sveta Zastava!
Oluja: Niko nije kažnjen za 2.000 ubijenih
hahaha
I thought his name would be something like Miodrag, Dragoljub, Slavoljub.
Guess I was wrong : o
One of things I always do on today’s day as we celebrate Oluja is to check out the serb coverage of it.
Good times here:

Trying to track down Ziva might be the highest form of jock-sniffing I’ve seen.
Also, Matt Damon and Everton look to be performing an act of consensual jock-sniffing in that picture.
Everyone should treat themselves to a Rakija for Operacija Oluja this weekend!
Marin is a nice name Croatian name, I was expecting maybe a Zorislav, Juraj, Baldo or maybe Blagomir haha i kid
Ziva Istina = a guy by the name of Marin!
@ Anonymous
the most pressing question is who is Ziva Istina… if you can provide us with full name, coordinates of fortified basement, his mama’s secret sarma recipe, family tree and any known ustasa/partizan connections – it would be the biggest story CSR story of all time
majstore is Matesticmethod
same person using 2 diff names, can’t fool me, netwizhack.org
CESTITAMO DAN POBJEDE, DAN DOMOVINSKE ZAHVALNOSTI I DAN HRVATSKIH BRANITELJA!!
and that would be the most tragic of all failures.
Sretan Dan pobjede svima!
and to those who have no idea, what that means; your parents, fellow Hrvati, acquaintances, etc. have most definitely failed you.

I don’t think it’s possible to embed pics and things like that on a blog. That’s why message boards are better. But no one uses the one on this website. Also, if you had to register to post there would be less useless trolls / alt accounts on here.
@Iggy……scarfs are OK and I will allow you to get one. I never said jersey were not allowed. What is not allowed are jerseys with a last name of a player on them being worn by another adult. (example: a 30-yr old fan wearing a Modric jersey). Why an adult would glorify another man and demean themselves by wearing another person’s last name is questionable.
Iggy, I too would like to embed images and be able to post more than 1 link in a post
That’s if Ziva says having a scarf of your nationality isn’t jocksniffing too much of course.. we wouldn’t want to upset the ziva..
Cuntbag, opps, i mean Kitbag currently has free international shipping. Sadly they don’t have any discounted HRV jerseys, but you can pick up a scarf for a couple of bucks:
http://www.kitbag.com/stores/kitbag/products/product_details.aspx?pid=102929
btw did anyone ever reply about my idea to make the site so u can embed pictures in the comments?
I have to agree with Ziva on the machine gun thing i mean that is TOP LEL comedy gold !
I’m willing to bet that photo of Matt Damon is the Everton players jock sniffing him and presenting him with a jersey. I’m willing to bet Damon has no clue who those players are.
Pro athletes jock sniffing actors/musicians is about as bad as it gets in the jock sniffing hierarchy.
Traktorijada? is that what they call racing in Slavonia?
@Faux Cro is that Matt Damon?
Friends (well, at least most of you), 18 years ago today we celebrated the start of Traktorijada. Forget the British Grand Prix, the Indianapolis 500 or Daytona, Traktorijada was the ultimate race with a one-way ticket to mother serbia.

Back to Modric interview…….decent coverage of it back in Cro. Now, just imagine the amount of coverage and website hits you ould have received if you asked Modric the question about a machine gun-style celebration against the serbs in BG. It would have been at least 10 times what you got.
5 August- Great Day!!
You n00bcannons..
the man-bra thing is a GPS device teams often use it in pre-season before proper games to gain data
anyway nice goal from jela !
Gambling online, your parents have failed you.
I wasn’t saying you (sorry if the tone of my post suggested that)…I bet online always.
WHo is the jocksniffer in this link?

I wasn’t mocking you.
Where do you bet on golf?
When you have money on the line and you are foolish enough to bet on golf, like I did today, you will watch it.
@Iggy:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sLivd6j3aQo
@Matesic Method:
He was asking for quicker service/ through balls on multiple occasions.
He made a great diagonal run on a counterattack, and the Everton player (I think Barkley) just chose to dribble into space and squander the opportunity of a quick through ball.
I don’t know how Everton is going to play under the new manager,but most strikers would be fortunate to score 10 goals a season with Moyes at the helm of that squad.
Jelavic’s service seemed to diminish when Everton signed the Belgian Miralles (who happens to be a great player). IDK if I am imagining this or if it was Fellani/Mirallas favoring each other.
I found one thing odd about Jelavic. He exchanged jerseys with Pepe (to Ziva’s jocksniffing horror) and what looked to be a man’s sports bra was exposed.
@Ziva:
I find it unbelievable that adult fans would wait around the locker room like teenage groupies.
However, I guess anything is possible if people watch golf live or televised.
Your story is on Nogometni-Magazin as well:
http://www.nogometni-magazin.com/newspro/coranto/viewnews.cgi?id=EFZVypVApVzjTMrHNb&tmpl=coranto_sp2014
Though they cited the source as 24sata. CSR ain’t gettin’ they props.
@ Ante.
Epic!!!
When is it time to pass the arm band to the best Croatian player walking the planet?
@ faux Cro.
Jelavic has been scape goated for lack of Everton offense. I am with you and believe he too has predatorial instincts around goal and will be good for a goal or two these next 5 games.
Real Madrid v Chelsea. Preseason moj Kurac ! This is going to be personal.
Oh and haha at perosh da aussie THE HIPPO
Golf is not a sport. Any link to jela goal? What was the result of the match. Lukas voice is really deep for a lil fellow haha
@Ziva so you’re a nigger lover?
Slow day in the fortified basement today. I turned on golf. And what do I notice, more jock sniffing. I’m watching Tiger play and walk to various tees and the long line of people sticking out their hands hoping he gives them a “high-5”. Good for Tiger in avoiding them and basically avoiding eye contact with them.
Great job! Keep up the good work.
Great interview- CSR making things happen!
@TheGoldenChild…….i understand. I know how the mixed zone goes after games and practices.
The worst kind of jock sniffers are the adults, especially those who have money and purchase the VIP packages. Successful men (for the most part) becoming little school girls.
Young US prodigy at Real…?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A791KSSYCPY#at=58
@ziva
I’ve been following Real around for a week to take photos, and never in my life have I seen so many grown men get weak in the knees when they see these athletes. I couldn’t help laughing every time I saw a guy squeal like a little girl when getting an autograph, or JUST A WAVE.
We should have taken video of that.
@Ziva and Dejan
Ante and I were debating back and forth on what to do. Ante actually introduced himself to both players in Croatian when they entered the stadium, and both said they would give us time. Modric was the first to come out and after a couple yells of “molim te Luka” he happily came over. Ante spoke to him in Croatian then got the interview going in English…that’s why you see the grin on Luka’s face in the beginning.
It’s hard when you’re interviewing these guys because you literally have about a minute, after being at the stadium waiting for 6 hours. Ante wanted to get as many questions out as quickly as possible, so that’s why I think he went that route. One stumble, and the interview is OVER. We’ll remember the feedback in the future.
We were Luka’s only interview, he gave 10 seconds to a group to the right of us because he stopped to give us something. But we got extremely lucky.

this is funny incase it hasn’t been posted
I know its a lot more work but please do it in hrvatski drugi put a ne engleski. Ja znam da nemoze svi razumjeti ali ovo je croatiansports ne engleskisports! I do apologize if that comes of an asshole way but it matters.
In other news. 40 year old Anthony Perosh won last nights UFC fight in 12 seconds and got the knock out of the night getting him $50K.
WOW.

.
Nice hockey assist for Modric. If Bale and Ronaldo both play for RM this season, expect Modric to feed them tons of over the top/through balls.
Nice one touch left footed goal from Jelavic. That is where he is dangerous. In between the 6m and the 19m box with the space for a one touch finish.
If and when he regains his form/starts getting service, people will change their tune about him.
@Ante:
Nice interview.
I was hoping Denis was going to “interview bomb you” and ask him if the transfer rumors of him going to Hajduk Split are true.
@Ziva:
If this website wants hits, interviews are going to have to be in English.
In English???????? Wish you would have done it in croatian.
Oh well, good interview. But, no need to add a qualifier about having no preseason last year regarding the question about being overrated according to the fans. You don’t have to make excuses for him, most players do that themselves.
already made it to Dnevnik:

Ante, who’s taller you or Modric?
Well he’s right we definitely have more quality that the serbs.. dunno bout `expecting to win’ although its good if the team themselves are for sure
im a bit disappointed u didnt ask the 1 of Ziva’s Q’s about doing the machine gun celebration tho 😛 hahah
