Average Age of the Croatian NT is 27.8.
Average Age of the first team is 29.1 years old

First team used:

GK
Pletikosa

DEF
Simic
Kovac
Tudor

MID
Zivkovic
Soldo
Prosinecki
Jarni
Suker

ATT
Boskic
Olic

Sure, rapaic, vugrinec and tomas may also get starting place in game or two, but that will not bring the medium age down by a lot.

So guys, we might have a slightly old squad, but remember that Suker was 30 when he won golden boot last WC.... I have to say that this is higher than what I actually thought it would be...
