In order for a country as small as Croatia to continue to play top class football then we need anyone of Croatian descent playing for us.

Though at least this time, he doesn’t risk any sporting sanctions, as both he and Napoli’s Denis are registered as non-EU players in Serie A.

I also enjoyed a summer of football without WAGS, without endless debate over some part of Wayne Rooney’s body, without St George’s flags mindlessly fluttering from cars of people who have hardly watched a game of football in their lives, without endless ‘news from the England camp’, and without the music charts being cluttered up with 1970s crooners putting corny new words to thirty year-old songs.

If Cvitanich can help make the summer of 2010 as enjoyable through his work over the next 18 months, I will like him even more! :)

Not only was he on fire this season but last season too, no? I am saddened to see his name removed from possible future Argentine national teams. But, I am happy that he suddenly becomes a 1st choice for a European national side. Wow.

I smile when I am reminded that a bunch of Croatians immigrated to Argentina many years ago and from that group were born great athletes like Cvitanich, Bilos and even Marcos Milinković the notable volleyball player! In the Americas, we all come from someplace else! Cheers.

The future does look good for Croatia. With Cvitanich and Eduardo up front they could prove an awesome partnership. England beware!

Check out the South American map in the Conmebol badge. It’s in its normal orientation.

A shame to see a good player switching national teams. He said in an interview that he thinks he had no chance to play for Argentina because he’s got a lot of competition and there are many players in front of him in the pecking order. He is probably right, but it’s a shame to see him take this decision.

And Sam, if you want to know what’s Croatian for “oriundo”, then I don’t think you should ask Cvitanich as I’m pretty sure he doesn’t speak that language at all!

As will be a Croatian front line featuring hm and Eduardo. Tudjman must be spinning in his grave, which is always a good thing.

The photo is flipped, btw, which is why I was staring at it for a minute trying to figure out who this new kit manufacturer was.
