World Cup 2018:
What can we learn from Croatia, the little country with big dreams?

“Mala zemlja, veliki snovi” it reads on the side of the Croatia team bus. Or in English, “Little country, big dreams”.
That slogan won the public vote of Croatian fans before the tournament, beating off ‘Želja u srcu je moć na terenu!’ (‘Desire in the heart is power on the pitch’) and “Srcem do vrha!” (‘With heart, to the top!’).....

Ako imaš snove, ostvarit će ti se kad-tad.
Važi jednako za narod, kao i za pojedinca.
Ovo vam kažem i na temelju vlastitog iskustva.

“On our bus is the slogan, ‘Little country, big dreams’, it’s a good message to all,” Dalic said. “Work hard. Have good players. Get the results. And believe that it is possible. Many things have to fall into place. But it’s a great message. Particularly for smaller countries like Croatia and Georgia. You have to have a dream, an ambition. Then follow those dreams and ambitions. One day, maybe it will come true. In football, or in life in general. Never give up.”

“Of course, we were all sad and downcast,” Dalic said. “But I told them to hold their heads up high. There was no reason to feel dissatisfied. They had given their all. They must be proud of their displays at the tournament. Chin up lads. If someone had offered us runners up before the tournament started, that would be fantastic. The development in how we played the final means a modicum of sadness. But I said to them: there is nothing to be sad about. Sometimes you lose, that is inevitable in sport. When we won we were dignified in victory. Now we must be dignified in defeat, and respect the scoreline.”

The positive message that Croatia have left at this World Cup will resonate far beyond their own shores. Because their story is about more than just this talented generation of players and a few very hard-fought games in Russia this summer. Croatia have shown that you do not need to be a giant of the European or South American game to succeed at a World Cup. And they have shown that, like Holland in 1974 or Hungary in 1954, there may be as much immortality for the runner-ups as for the champions.
Every football country from Latin America, Africa and Asia can take heart from the Croatian example. Which shows that talented players, hard work, unity and some good fortune can take almost any country a long way.

It feels sometimes as if the World Cup will in future be won on rotation by those rich western European countries with the best youth systems. France, Germany and Spain the last three winners, with England and Belgium as beaten semi-finalists this year. As a sign that international football is as determined by economics as club football, it is a depressing thought.
But if Croatia can reach the final, play like this, and threaten to win it, then surely so can many, many more countries. These tournaments are more random than we realise, where little events can determine games, with no time for variance to even itself out. Other countries should watch Croatia, see their achievements and hope one day to match it. Other countries can have big dreams.

Znali smo ovo i prije, ali je nogomet morao pokazati da nikad nisi mali...
Zar nije i Tesla potekao iz hr "vukojebine"? Ruđer Bošković? ...itd...
Putokaz je ovo svim malim narodima...ne bojte se, samo tvrdo radite.
Budite zajednica solidarnih ljudi i ne zajednica propaliteta, koji brinu samo
o svom dupetu. Mali i podjeljeni ste osuđeni na nestanak, a ujedinjeni
možete postići sve...

- Stvari koje nisu postojale kada je Engleska poslednji put igrala u polufinalu: smartfoni, Fejsbuk, Uber, Jutjub, bitkoin, Gugl, Tviter, SMS poruke i najvažnije - Republika Hrvatska - stoji u provokaciji Engleza upućenoj "kockastima".

Da nas Hrvata (Tesle, na pr.) nije bilo Englezi bi još uvijek kucali u kamen, umjesto u tipkovnicu.

Ein Schild warnt: „Nicht betreten! Große Minengefahr!“ Es ist ein Hinweis auf die Vergangenheit der kroatischen Ortschaft Modrici, wo Luka Modric (32) aufgewachsen ist.
