I too am a big fan of Croatia, but with the loss of Eduardo it will be tough to win it all. Being Croatian myself I have followed the Croatian national team from game one against the US to present day, we have a habit of starting off these tournys slow against weaker teams and have to play catch up or depend on another team to lose to advance. I'm not a big fan of Pletikosa either, he makes costly mistakes and sometimes looks to be scared to challenge the ball. Don't get me wrong, I would love to see Croatia win it, I already took the Croats to win it all but I made my wager prior to the loss of Eduardo, odds are a little better now. The only reason I still think they can do it is the players love playing for Bilic and they would love to win it for him and the country of Hrvatska.
