Explains past of current Croatian NT squad

While that team - like the Yugoslav national team - fragmented with the tragic meltdown of the multi-ethnic nation into civil war - it was Croatia that emerged ahead of the Serbian-dominated rump Yugoslavia as the region's top football power.

They were truly the greatest ambasadors of our nation towards the world, especialy in the war and post war period they showed to the world the brave and passionate character of Croatia and most importantly showed that we exist, proud and finalyl independent. To the 'Chile' generacije, VJECNA SLAVA I HVALA (especialy Boban), but i dont think their work is done yet, the fat lady has not sung her last song

In ten years they have given us a history that some countries would only dream of and they've been playing for a century.

Thank you.

I still firmly believe that they underachieved. Had it not been for an injury here and a bad bounce there maybe..........

.....the ball is round....

anyways thanks.

Ye did us proud.
