As some of you may know, Croatia has qualified for the World Cup this year. However, most of you, including me before today, do not know the intense preparation that goes into the World Cup every four years. Right now Nations are vying for spots to play one another in a series of exhibition matches. The better the team, the more desiring contenders they have. In the case of Croatia, both the All Whites and The Socceroos were potential players. However, in the end, it was the Socceroos that won out.
What amazes me the most is the degree of undercutting involved in these exhibitions. Some teams are worried about releasing their potential opponents because there is fear that other teams may book them first...
Hopefully, this undercutting and intensity will transfer to the World Cup for Croatia and we can finish well.
