Never heard of it...though, I'd say if they do come they'd play the US NT since both a sponsored by Nike and I bet they'd play it in Chicago.

 

doubt really, and even if they did, it would be a HNL team or a B squad

USA usually play friendlies in Europe during the season, as now most of the US players are based in Europe, kind of like what Australia does during the season.

The only way Croatia would come to the states is in the summer, when all of our players are not fully fit to play a match. But if Dinamo and the U21's could come to Canada, they can come to America. It just seems funny they completely ignore America, while they send scouts to places like Australia and they vist Canada. I know the HNS is still living like its 1970 and thinks America sucks at soccer, but thats not the case and surely they could attempt to play here

 

mi ih cekamo u Australiji ko zedan kisu...nema sanse...

 

didnt the national team play in australia once already?

 

Poland comes to the US very often, to play in Chicago but they always bring an all-domestic league squad, same would be with Croatia....you won't be seeing guys like Kranjcar, Modric, Eduardo here, unless USA hosts a World Cup.

 

I would still go in a heartbeat, besides Chicago is a beautiful city. Another possibility in the US is L.A. (35k Croats in San Pedro alone) but I think Toronto's Rogers Centre would attract the most people imo.

 

aren't there a lot of croats in pittsburgh?

 

ye there are but alot of them are 3rd or 4th generation croats..

 

I would love to even see a domestic side come through....hell I would love if Hajduk or Dinamo came anywhere near here. The closest thing I have to watching soccer is mens league rec soccer

 

not sure if I would want to know Denise Richards is Croatian...I have heard that before but she is a black mark on our culture haha!

 

why

 

my wife made me watch about 10 minutes of her reality show...so bad!! she might be one of the dumber people in hollywood. At least she is pretty hot.

 

most of the people from Pittsburgh came in the 1800's when the steel industry was booming, and most of them are actually from Northern Croatia, unlike the ones in California and NY/NJ where 99% are from Herzegovina or Dalmacija

Dinamo Zagreb came to Toronto in 2005, they played Rangers. I was in Croatia at that time. The U21's came to Canada in 2006 I believe and guys like Eduardo, Modric etc.. did come along, though they didn;t play in big venues.

 

yeah both times I couldnt afford to go to Toronto. Im still hoping for LA or something, much cheaper for me to fly there!

 

I went through to Pittsburgh on a road trip about 15 years ago. We were driving around and happen to see a big building with the words "Croatian Community Center" or something like that so we go to a locked door and after a few minutes of ringing the bell and waiting an old guy comes to the door. We explain who we are and that we'd like to check out the center and maybe see if there are any events happening. He looks back, and we can see tables set up where mostly old men are playing cards, then turns back to us and says, "I don't think there are any Croatians in here."
Then we go to this place close buy with what looks like a guy selling beer out of his Garage with a sign like "Dukan...(something or other)" and we ask him about it. He tells us that there are picnics but that it's a mix of all yugoslavian people! Then he tells us that he's a 3rd generation Serb and goes to them all the time. So we bought a 2-4 of Rolling Rock and kept on rollin'.

Awesome:thumbsup:

 

when I was in Gettysburg, I was flipping around the stations and I heard Croatian radio based out of Harrisburg, similar to the WNYE program here, except they played more music from Zagorje rather than the corny Dalmatian music they play on WNYE

I remember a long time ago my dad told me that Sydney Croatia came to play in Toronto along with Celtic and some S. American team. Sydney at that time was the best team in Oz......to make a long story short we beat them like 6 or 7 nothing! Toronto Croatia at that time were the defending NASL Champs. Its sad how soccer in Canada has fallen so low that we are below the Aussies and the Yanks! But its no suprise when you have crooks running the CSA and other crooks running Toronto Croatia.

 

Back in 1990 Hajduk and dinamo came to NYC to play NY Croatia. Hajduk played at a stadium in Queens, NY and beat Croatia 3-0, and dinamo played a couple of months earlier at the Croatian picnic grounds in New Jersey. Unfortunately the star players didn't come but both games were a great experience, and I bought my first Hajduk scarf with the Hrvatski grb at the Hajduk match.:thumbsup: I know that JureM was surely at the matches but did anybody else go from our forum??

 

was that game at Randall's Island?

 

BTW, if the NT cam,e to the States I think I'd be there no matter what team and in what city they played, that would be an experience I couldn't miss.roud:

 

I think it's got a different name now, but yes I believe that's it. The one under the Triboro(RFK) bridge.

 

I remember that game it was at Downing Stadium. Was it 90 i thought it was 91 i went to that game don't remember much a bit too young but i remember we tailgated for quite some time. I remember my pop got smashed!

I would love if the NT came to NA even if they came to Toronto I'd take the ride up.

 

I went when Dinamo came here(Toronto) in 2005, it was great we beat Rangers 1-0:howler:

It would be amazing if the NT came to anywhere in NA, but Toronto would be the most special, it would be 60 thousand + Croatians for sure.roud:
