DAVOR ŠUKER IN NEW YORK CITY
Davor Šuker did in fact make a half time appearance during Croatian Heritage Night in New York this past Friday. It appears he is backing an entirely new soccer stadium in Zagreb. CSR Nation: Thoughts?

LEGEND, would be good to have a striker of the quality of Suker in our squad now, the good old days, was a proud time to be a Croat following Soccer back then,
Manchester City are about to step up the chase for Luka Modric it seems, Would like to see him stay at Spurs a little while longer, can't wait till the new epl season kicks off..
good report rob. nice to see a good cro turnout.

seeeeeeeeeee. suker je legenda.
I didn't hear anything about Suker at halftime – but I also wasn't paying attention to the field as I was conducting all of the interviews at halftime in the Croatia end….
@Franjo,
good stuff. Thanks
@Rob,
"they were confused but impressed." Thats exactly what I was thinking before I read your comment.
I also read that Davor Suker made an appearance at halftime. Did you guys happen to see this?
@Rob
No worries….thanks for responding.
It was funny, however, when people were asking where New England's Lekic was from :O
Thanks for the kind words Denis & Ante.
@ Denis
I went to the game with a few of my American friends and purposely didn't tell them it was Croatian heritage night. Before we had even entered the stadium, they were completely puzzled and shocked as to why there were so many Croats there. I let them be confused for awhile before telling them. Needless to say, they were impressed by the organization, voice and delivery by the Croatian fans. The huge Croatia jersey was the highlight of the night.
When the jersey came out, a bunch of the people sitting around me kept turning to each other and asking what was going on? They were confused, but impressed. It was pretty funny. I just kept telling people that Croatia fans rep hard when they are united.
@Tudjman
No idea where to get any extra towels…I bought mine from one of the many cute Croatian girls that were walking around the stadium selling them.
@Rob-
You should have asked Roman which games he's been watching to say Kranjcar 😉
Do you know who I could contact about getting any possible leftover mini-towels for a donation?
@Denis-
Even though your question was for Rob, the feedback I got from non-Croatians about the large group attending and the huge jersey was basically "Why are there so many Croatians at this game?"…LOL.
I didn't hear it, but supposedly a few Revolution fans chanted "USA, USA, USA" when the jersey went out. What I want to know is how long does it take to fold that thing so that it can fit in someone's trunk 🙂
Rob, well done sir! we need to get you a CSR mic!
question for you:
What did non-Croatians say about the giant Croatian jersey?
The picture of the little girl in baby blue is priceless. She will probably never ever see anything like it in person.
Revolution shirt is ok with me as long I dont see a Celtic jersey. 🙂
Only if American fans could follow suit.
Great job Robert.
Congratulations to Croatian Heritage organizers. It is so uplifting to see Croatians coming together for a great cause. I loved big Croatian shirt.
Neka vide da nas ima…….

Hell of a job Rob! I hope you have blazed a trail for future fan reports with what you did Friday night from Red Bull Arena. You did fantastic on such short notice and the insane loud noise in the stadium.
CSR is gonna have to ship you out a mic.
Who's next? Rumor has it, Tampa FL will be on the map soon!
Once again…good stuff Rob. I only wished we could have got your videos from South Africa last summer up in time.
