The boys have arrived in Germany. They all looked happy as they were greeted by the fans who were waiting for their arrival for hours.

Coach Branko Ivankovic and midfielder Ali Krimi spoke to reporters and they sounded confident about our chances.

“We are ready and I expect that we will do very well,” said the team’s Croatian coach Branko Ivankovic. “Portugal and Mexico are clearly the favorites, but we can surprise anyone.”

Thanks Stuart. I’ll be VERY happy with runner-ups (Although that could mean Argentina next!)or even a close third.

It has been a long jouney

Looking forward to the Portugal match…could be a classic. Mexico may give you some problems defensively, but they lack the scoring punch and with patience I look for you to handle them nicely (and advance as group champions).

Team looks good both physically and mentally coming off the friendlies. Branko has delivered contenders to the group. I feel good also about the Mexico game. One word of warning stay away from cream pastries. (just kidding)

LOL! Funny you should say this Kapcro, because looking at them filling up their plates at the German Embassy party actually worried me!
