The UNTOLD STORY Behind CROATIA & Their ICONIC RISE 

My bad! Thanks for pointing out though 👍

TRUE

That isn't Šuker, that is Štimac hahahaha. Also for Boban he has put the wrong one, that is Boban Babunski.

@@ThroneFC you weren't wrong for Štimac, but you have put the wrong Boban.

Croatia Nazi state 😂

Yeah... it should be for everyone?

It’s a combination of all that and genetics. Throughout the decades since independence Croatia has been successful in many sports. Basketball, tennis, handball, rowing, kickboxing, skiing, UFC, waterpolo, athletics and gymnastics. On Friday, June 22, 2018, German newspaper Bild, the 8th most circulated newspaper worldwide with over 2.5 million readers daily, named Croatia the best sporting country in the world! Bild writes that with a population of just 4.2 million, Croatia has only slightly more inhabitants than Berlin (3.5 million) - but when it comes to sports, they are anything but small. In relation to size, Croatia can be considered the best sporting nation in the world.

@@kageryu311 very true. But many variables come into play. Upbringing. Kids in Croatia haven’t got the facilities western nations have, but are more determined to make those professional environments for that exact reason.

God Almighty is the reason!

I2a haplogroup genes on parental side and selection of people by living on the border between western and eastern world for the centuries. The similar is with Serbs and Bosnians... There are no such men on the earth Just look at the results Croatia and Serbia in the world sports...

That was because of politics. In Yugoslavian NT, players from all republics were had to be represented, as equally as they could. And that case serves as a great example how forced diversity is a very bad idea.

Lilian thouram happened. His only 2 goals in his national team career.

Dude, imaging us in WC 94.... I see nothing but gold, end!

​​@@kageryu311 lmao why do you must express hate in the video. This is video talking about croatia. And yeah england 😂😂😂 they always bootle even against worse teams.

he sang a serbian war song from baja mali in front of everyone in Zagreb....lol i wouldnt say hes that proud

@@spale_tv zovi samo zovi?

@@spale_tv my problem is he was hiding taxes with mamic and lying for him. but everyone forgot that fast

You're right, some times luck is on your side, sometimes it isn't.. But football fans are biased man, that's always going to happen

@@ThroneFC yeah. It is a pitty but what can we do.

don't even remind me of that match against Portugal, I was devastated bro😭

@@naisaShip I feel you 😢

we showed them in that game the true meaning of yoga bonito :D

Genetic are very giftfull for the Balkan's. Highest and one of strongest people live here

It is also patriotism. Strive for recognition. It all comes from a sense of unity within the community.

I2a haplogroup on man parental line. Plus look at the shape of Croatia. People from here were living for centuries as a warriors.

This what im gonna say will sound immense, but it is true. Croats are the only one on the Planet Earth with STILL CRO-mannion genes. Homo sapiens failed to kill them all. And swedish antropolgist found proof some 10years ago, that Croats still have significant amount of CRO-mannions genes. Plus. We all know that Croatia is the most beautifull peace of land in Europe. Magnificent. Do you know how small nation kept that piece of land for 1200 years... Fighiting for it. Franks, Germans, Romans, Ottomans, Hungarians... They all tried to take it. And all failed misserbly. Every time. Croatia never lost a war. And 7 out of 10 Croats troughout the history were professional warriors. That's how the whole world know for TIE. Croatian women would tie the tie around their hausbands neck for good luck when they would go to fight all over the Europe for $. ("give me 100 000 Croats and i will counquer the world." - Napoleon Bonaparte). But also... Croatia never attacked anyone in their history. Croatia also is the first country in the world that forbbided slavery. Dubrovnik 1416. The last war Croatia won was in 1995. Against 3d biggest army in the Europe. With embargo on weapons. No help. Noone helped Croatia... 4 years and yugoslavia's army was crushed. After you win a war in wich Croats were bigger underdogs than in every sport match they have ever been... U dont get scared, and you dont lose belief its possible. For example. Italy have never won against Croatia in football. Im not sure if they ever managed to get a draw. Also, they never won a war against Croatia. They tried so many times... So yes. Genetics. Mostly genetics.

Warriors

Defintely not luck! Croatia has a recent history when it comes to football in the international stage, but as the years pass, more and more fans will recognize that the country is up there at the level of those elite sides.like Spain, England and others

Didn't know about Maradona - which is great, but Messi grandmother is blatant lie. I fact checked it.

they both sound like lies but havent checked

you guys think everyone is croatian lmfao.......tesla and the list keeps going. Just stop. Do we really want to start looking at the bloodlines of you're players ?! Halh of them have serbian roots

​@@spale_tvaccording to your historical Jovan Deretic whole europe has serbian bloot. Whole historically big leaders were serbians. According to him Jesus was serb and God ten commands were written on serbian l. Nation builded on lies.

Not only that, Maradona's daughter first name is Dalma by the region in Croatia, Dalmatia👍

I meant recent history when it comes to football in the international stage.

He’s obviously talking about football🤦‍♂️

Thank you for the support, I'm glad you liked it!

Tako je ZDS

To be perfectly honest i think generation of 98 wasn't better than that in 2018 player wise. I do agree that despite arguably a slightly weaker team,our best chance was in 98. It was very close against France. And Brazil played like shit in that final game.

​@@robipindric7654 I agree 2018 was way better. Modric,Rakitic,Perisic,Mandzukic,Brozovic,Lovren,Kovacic had wayyyyyyyyyyy better carriers than Boban ,Prosinecki ,Boksic,Bilic,Stimac and Suker. They all have more than 300 appearences in first 11 squad at the biggest clubs in the world. Suker, Prosinecki were basically substitutes and second options at their clubs, at least the big clubs they played for. Prosinecki wasnt able to stay at Barcelona or Real Madrid for more than 1 seasson. Boban was second option at Milan 70% of his carrier, and Bilic,Asanovic,Stimac never even played for the biggest clubs. But people are just beeing people. Nostalgia... Also the game against France 1998 ,we werent even close to win it,yes we took a lead at the end of the first half, but france was looking way stronger during the whole match, it was obvious to anyone who is objective. Even with Blanc red card 25 minutes before the end of the match we werent able to create a clear chance for the whole 25 minutes. And the bronze medal match against Netherlands we were the weaker side and were very lucky to take that bronze because of crazy Ladic saves and Kluivert having an awfull day missing at least 5 100% chances 🤣 Contrary to 2018 final where we never looked as a weaker side but because of some stupid mistakes ,both ours and refs we eneded up loosing 4:2 which looks like an easy game for France , but it really wasnt. Its one of the most weirdest and unrealistic scores iv seen in my life based on how the game was played. France was 3:1 up with 1 attempt to goal ,that says it all about the game, total shitshow 🤣 owngoal from a fake faul by diver Grizzman and doubtfull penalty. 2 goals for France with 0 attempts to goal from open play. Crazy game

I'm glad you liked it Jaylen 🤙⚽

oh it is

@@spale_tv Play games with one view because you don't know what you're talking about. Name a team sport (except cricket and rugby) in which Croatia did not win medals. From handball, basketball, volleyball, waterpolo. Then skiing, tennis, rowing, karate, judo, high jump, gymnastics, MMA, boxing, javelin throwing, etc., etc.

vidiš ta priča ne drži vodu. Naime Bilić je iz prve postave koja je igrala na SP '06 maknuo (trajno, bio je sitno u kvalifikacijama, ali zato nije išao EP '08) Marka Babića i Darija Šimića (igrao je cijele kvalifikacije u prvoj, pred turnir je završio na klupi). Prše i Tudora nije bilo jer se Dado oprostio, a Tušo je stalno vukao ozljede i umirovio se 2008.g. (svejedno bi ih Bilić zvao da su bili slobodni). Igrače koje nije zvao na sljedeće EP su bili zamjene poput Tomasa, Tokića, Vranješa i Bošnjaka. On dakle nije ništa krucijalno rezao od stare ekipe (Za Dadu i Tušu nije imao izbora), već je doveo u prvih 11 ekspresno Modrića, Eduarda i Ćorluku te izvadio iz naftalina zaboravljenog Petrića. Kroz 2007. su se priključili reprezentaciji Rakitić i Pranjić te je time stvoren temelj za srebro u Rusiji.

That was kinda disappointing really, finishing above Germany but then losing to Turkey in that thrilling match. Either way, nobody was beating Spain that year

Thanks for mentioning it haha@@ThroneFC

Thanks for pointing out some of the flaws. My goal is always to improve 👍

You should be🇭🇷👏

🇭🇷💪❤️

@@ThroneFC Im not a liard, Croatia will be only best from the time that coming....?! Thanks ThorneFC from respond and all the best from Croatia 🙏⚽✌️🇭🇷❤️

@@matijacrgonja4355 Vjerujem da je Hrvatska već sada vrhunska momčad. Jedini razlog zašto ih se još uvijek smatra "underdogs" je taj što još uvijek imaju noviju povijest u međunarodnom nogometu. Za koju godinu bit će respektirani kao Španjolska, Portugal ili Engleska, samo je pitanje vremena. Oprostite ako sam napravio puno grešaka

I'm not fully aware of the context but I think I meant recent history when it comes to football as an independent Nation. Not recent history of your people

👍🙏

Croatia is defintely on the right path. In just a couple of years, most people will see your national team as a big threat, just like Portugal, Spain, The Netherlands and others.

Pssssst 🫢 let them all do their dance, and let us do ours dance.

Ima nas oko 10 miliona ne 8

I love your passion🔥🇭🇷

No, you're factually wrong

@@ThroneFC go watch your baseball buddy, you dont know what the hell your talking about

@@ante7652 There's no baseball in my country, but by the way Croatia's playing in the Euros I would assume that's probably your country's expertise ahah

I covered exactly what I said I would in the title and intro I never make long videos if it's the first time I'm covering a topic, since I don't know if people will care or not. So I keep it short, but informative, and if they engage a lot with it or ask for more, then I go back and make a deeper dive.

As a Croat I thank you and you did great job in such a short Video. We couldnt have done it better than you in those 6mins. Cheers!

@@hrvojecerovski5876 thank you, I'm glad you liked it 🙏

You are wrong, he did a great job in such a short video

Just a clarification, I meant that Croatia has a recent history in International football, not as a country

💪🇵🇹

Tens de fazer um video sobre o pontapé do Pepe!!

Just because you know something , it doesn't mean everyone knows it as well.

Recent history in football

I didn't understand, can you rephrase that?

@@ThroneFC Let them stand on their own for their falls and rises. Don´t mention CRO in the context of the former regime. The others only gain on the achievements of the Croatian players.

We will one day we just have to belive

Well, they won't with that attitude 😂

Unfortionaly, They need to stop to play beautiful in crucial games. They need to play hard, dive, cheat to win it. When you win noone will remember exept that other team. We know it because we were that other team.

I got news for you and all out there buddy... Only thing why we still have Modrić in the team is bcs we did not won gold yet. If we won gold against Spain in league nations Modrić would of been in national retierment now. He is not playing euro2024 to get to quarterfinals or semifinals. He knows exatcly what he wants and what is he going for on Euro 2024. If He belives ... who are you not to belive. Remember that game b4 Brazil. We aaaaall knew we gonna win. There is a singularity dot out there somewhere in the space where all our stupid bullheaded croats mind meet if we all belive in the same thing. And when that happens, that force is unstopable. So get your sorryass in the order soldier !!

😢

@@aleksblaze88 the most number of national team players, the most number of club titles.... dont pretend you dont know. Serbia in Yugoslavia was like Russia in USSR, Croatia was like Ukraine at most.

You're right! And soon I will make a video trying to figure out why Serbia hasn't yet reached their full potential in the international stage.

@@ThroneFC because they can't leech money out of Slovenia and Croatia anymore

Hahaha😂😂😂

Bosnia is Croatia, especially when you need eu passports😮❤
