Bigone … I don’t how big you really are but I reckon you’re pretty much on this money with this one.
The Aussies won’t score against Croatia, they don’t have the firepower and Tudor is good enough to stop them. He should never have been in midfield. He’s a stopper through and through. He’s not the Tudor that played for Juve but experience makes up for the speed.
The Aussies can’t counter quick enough to catch the Croats off guard.
Only problem is going to be putting the ball in the net. Its no good giving the ball to Prso out wide hoping he’ll beat 3 defenders to set something up for guys who won’t follow through and commit. Too many times against Japan he was asked to do way too much.
If Cico takes Niko out of the shop window for a minute and goes with guys who can do the job then a result will come.
Sadly, I think he’s too selfish to see it.
I’m no Nostradamus but we’ll pretty much now the result once the team line up is out.
Niko in for a pathetic and lame 0-0. Niko out and Cro does what Cro does best – gets enough to get by.

I am sorry to say, but Cico is just playing Niko to improve his profile and therefore get bigger dollars for him from Big Europen clubs. But, sadly this is going to back-fire on him, and those clubs will see what a dud his son really is.

Cico has done well with the team, but his only mistake has been blindly picking his son when his form doesn’t warrent selection. For this alone, he should be sacked after the world cup.

For Croatia to have a chance to beat the Aussies they need to do the following:
1. Replace Niko Kranjcar with Modric immediately. Kranjcar is too slow and off the pace of the game. He simply is not up to world cup standard. With him it is like playing with 10 men. We need a decent ATTACKING midfielder and this is where Modric comes in.
2. Olic seems to just run and fall over and then run and fall over………………again and again. Why did we bring Balaban if we are not going to use him? We should have picked Eduado.
3. See point 1.
4. Bring in Vranjes for R. Kovac and put Tudor back in defence. Our midfield needs more speed, Tudor & the coaches son and too slow.
5. See point 1.

thank you.

Crno you’re back and in such “fine” form. I’ve had quite a chuckle with your silly little attempt at insulting the team and its fans. You’ve decided to grace us with more of your awe inspiring football knowledge. I was thinking that back in March when I labeled you a cretin I was being much more complementary than I should have been. Croatia may not advance and we live on. It is a game after all. Now, you feel that we are a “rump Austria” and that is so cute. Speaking of rump I’ve been thinking that like the Dodo bird Yuga is extinct and it was a rump when we last heard of it. So it would only make sense to put a picture next to the entry for Yugoslav in the dictionary. A picture of big rump would do just fine. You and your Yu associates can pick out a big red one out from your friends for submission. Seeing as how there is now a hole where the last of Yu used to be since the vote, we can also put next to the rump picture a picture of a hole. This way everyone can look up what truly portrays a “yugoslav”. I hope this post has entertained you as much as it has the Croatians that post here. There have been some teams that have played less than expected in games and minnows that have impressed us. That is sport and there is always another game and another tourney. Win or lose Croatia has been at this one and played good teams. Good luck to Australia and expect the game to be a good battle.

Croatia SUCKS! they couldnt even score against japan, how sad is that? good luck beating the socceroos, im sure they will play very defensive and go for the tie so you guys can go back home and cry just like Mr Dennis Suckass. good job missing that penalty kick too . If you guys dont like these type of comments i would consider consulting Dennis here to stop going into other blogs and completely disrespecting other countries. you guys dont suck – i was just playing, but you could really use a davor sukur up front. best of luck to croatia, im sure most of you are not as disrespectful as dennis.

Croatia vs Japan = 0-0..

But Croatia will still win, cuz there is no chance Japan can beat Brazil, unless their government put a japanese Hit-man on the job to kill Ronaldinho, and adriona, and kaka, and…..

Croatia still HAS a VERRY Good CHANCE OF MAKING IT..

We just gotta beat Australia and we’re through, but if we LOSE againt Australia or tie them we dont really deserve to be in the world cup. So YOU KNow Croatia will bring their A Game, and beat those socceroos!!

YOu know how by Burnin them aliave ( Get it cuz the Croatias are the Vatreni!!)

Ahh…its Just a little joke I always tell.

Well..Croatia will probably Go through the next round, and when we get there..our next opponent will be Italy or the Czchecs..

LETS GO CROATIA ALL THE WAY!!!!!

CrnoGorac,
You’re really starting to make less sense the more you drivel on these pages that have been soiled with your unwarranted presence.

If the posrani jugosloveni contributed so much to the world of football, why then has Yugoslavia/Serbia&Montenegro AKA “Greater Serbia” done so shit since the dawn of time? They’ve contributed NOTHING. The only good players “created” by your jebeni Jugo Administration are all Hrvati! STA JE STOBOM??? NE SERI VISE MOLIM TE. DOSTA TVOJ PARTIZANSKO GLUPOST.

The regime you yearn and pine for lost 6-0: they couldn’t dream of creating players like Suker, Boban Prosinecki etc etc. Let go. Crna Gora is independent now. Break free from your Jugo shackles and celebrate your liberation like everyone else in Podgorica. Otherwise, change your goddamn name to “Srbin” or “Yugosloven” or “Majmun” – because you’re in no man’s land at the moment buddy.

I’m only trying to help you mate. We’re all slavic brothers so let’s be civilised. Slazes se “bre”??

Why respond to crnogovno or whatever his name is.

The whole Austria, Yugoslavia, Boban and Euro 96 …. whatever knobjockey.

You clearly has nothing better to do, how much anger can you have on a 6-0 defeat … or a 6-1 as in Euro 2004. Move on & put some constructive input in your own blog.

Croatia might not get 3rd at a major tournament again for a while … they might not even get past Russia and England at Euro ‘08.
They’ve still qualified for every major tournament except Euro ‘2000.

Why does anyone here need to explain anything about the Cro side to you …. you’re still living in the 80’s.

If anyone needs to explain things here its you …. who’s gonna put 6 past your team in the next tournament … who’s gonna finish the hat-trick hey ??

Anyway, enough of this loser.

My tip is Tudor to replace Kovac (obvious) and I’m praying my dad gives me a rest and puts Modric in my place. I know I hit the crossbar against Japan but lets be honest … i’m the playmaker and did f*ck all for the whole match except missing the sitter in the 2nd half.
