Croatians in Europe

I agree that we need to find a spot for Babic in Croatia's starting 11. Niko Kovac could be the player that should make way. I don't think that Babic has had enough opportunties with the national team and hopefully Baric at least gives him those opportunties in the friendly games that will come up.

Is Vranjes back from injury yet. He missed out on both playoff matches against Slovenia and I don't think he played for Stuttgart last weekend either.

Do you think Vranjes should be in Croatia's starting 11? I think that he might be on the bench if we decide to play Leko, who plays a similar role. We do have a lot of options in the middle with Vranjes, Leko, Kranjcar, Srna, Rapajic, Niko Kovac, Rosso, and Babic. Tudor can also play in the middle.

I really don't know what our best midfiled combination is.

Apparantly Sokota scored for Benfica in a 2-0 win over Braga and played really well

He really is making a claim to for a starting position in the NT.
