SQUAD PROFILE: Croatia

[bainesontoast]

0-0 at HT. It would appear Croatia have problems in attack as they haven't had anything close to a chance. No Modric?

 

[bainesontoast]

The Croatian TV pundit just said what he's seen from Croatia in that 1st half is their worst performance in the last 10 years. Ouch.

Nikica has been subbed off

[The Equaliser]

Great to hear that they are struggling for goals.

8 days to go.

I think Croatia can be the "surprise" of the Euros.

 

[The Equaliser]

Looks like Jelavic might start against Ireland next Sunday as Olic has gone back to Munich for a scan on an injury.

 

[ventures]

Jelavic showed very little v Estonia. Word is that if Mandzukic is fit enough he will start along side Eduardo againts Ireland, if he is not fit then it will be Jelly

 

[FTY]

They have some deadly strikers, bit suprised that Mladen Petric isnt going, is he retired?

 

[ventures]

No he is still only 30 and his contract at Hamburg has just run out and he said he will leave, few English and Spanish clubs are interested in signing him and i think he could be a good signing for Everton but wages might be a problem. Bilic didn't invite him to Euro because they dont see eye to eye

Davor Suker.

Ivica Olic ruled out of the euro's, this must mean Jelavic is in line for a start now?!

Jelavic started their last friendly, but yeah, his would make him a cert to start you'd think.

Olic replaces by Kalinic who was pretty crap at Blackburn.
