Big match today as the Aussies take on Croatia.
We know football (soccer...) is the international game and of course our star players all play in European leagues. I thought that this was a classic though:
Croatia have three players with an Australian background. Joe Didulica and Josip Simunic were both born in Australia whilst Anthony Seric is a graduate of the Australian Institute of Sport (along with Simunic).
Australia have seven players of Croatian background in their squad - Mark Viduka, Zeljko Kalac, Ante Covic, Tony Popovic, Josip Skoko, Jason Culina and Marco Bresciano.
