I really would be shocked to see us lose out on the spot to Ukraine, even though it is possible. I still think that Croatia has too much talent and experience compared to a team such as Ukraine. I really can't think of any world names that Ukraine has besides Voronin and Shevchenko. The only way we don't qualify, as Ivan said, is if we shoot ourselves in the foot.

The only team that keeps us out of 2nd place is us. Les, I may be bias but our talent over Ukraine is much more then just experience. The only team that keeps us out of 2nd place is us.

And they definitely wouldn't mind seeing us come up empty handed after what we did to them in the last qualifiers. @Les: Very true, but more optimism please! :) Still, I’ve got this bad feeling England will have a final say on who goes through.

You are slightly better by having more international experience, but they could pull ahead of you since their final game plan is just a bit easier.

Don't hold it against me though, as these kinds of posts will always be aiming for a laugh rather then a "headache" :) Oh and thanks for commenting, both of you. @Tamim: Glad you liked it, even with not being familiar with all the characters :)

"DONT, its depressing, just read the last paragraph. I read the whole story and now I have a headache. Mario... I think the "Marin" in your story should be a different Marin. The one that wins Wimbledon in 2010 and gives our football playing boys the incentive to go for the gold in South Africa. All Croatia (as well as us Croats living outside Croatia) get drunk after Marin Cilic wins Wimbledon and we stay drunk untill we win the finals in Africa. What a year that would be.
