Modric kind of shites all over Strachans theory about height and build

Probably because it matters fuck all, if you can play football that is. It does require all the people "running" the game, which includes coaches at all levels, to buy into that though.

I think it's two different problems. In England it's because of comfort and money, in Scotland, players simply not good enough to play overseas. 

Our youth programme last season showed that this is simply not true, up to a certain age. Something goes wrong at some point that means our players dont make it to first team football at a high level. If enough teams/coaches/managers were willing to buy into a change in philosophy then it would change eventually.... unfortunately it takes time and that is not something that is afforded.

You sure about that mate? 

Yep. He's a Croatian national but from an ethnic Serb family, not Croat.

Quite unusual under the circumstances for a Serb to play for the Croatian team, especially one of his generation. A brave and enlightened bloke.

Oblak

Ivanovic / Skrtel  / Lovren / Kolarov

Rakitic / Milinkovic-Savic

Modric / Ilicic / Perisic

Dzeko

What a startling 11 that would be. Matic, Pjanic, Brozovic, Kovacic, Mandzukic, Kolasinac, Tadic, Fejsa and Kampl all as subs. 

Skrtel is Slovakian?
