The thing that I never understand about Croatian football is that although they have great talents, a very good team and a very nice, checkered shirt (I prefer though the blue version over the red one that Croatia seemed to wear against Norway) is that there is no single stadium (to my knowledge) which is any close to the European standards in the country - at least this stadium that I know the Croatian national team always plays their games on is quite odd: very high and distant stands to the pitch. It feels like there is no one watching the game there in the stadium if it were not for the noisy Croatian fans. I wish Croatian teams also considered renewing their venues as the Ukrainian teams recently have done and if you say, "oh, come on, it is because of Euro2012", I will point to you the example of Slovenia, who have done a very good job in terms of renewing their small but quite adorable stadiums

Kranjcar is a brilliant player!

Solid defence and great skill of kranjcar  Modric and kalinic are also talented players  Hope to see them 2012 euro
