This was a emotional time for Croatia!! Our boys did great!!

[@1969cmp]

....as an Aussie with no known Croat connection, I was pleased to see Croatia make the final.

[@petarsron]

I was very emotional when Croatia made it to the finals..It was a special feeling, a feeling only a Croat would understand. Even though we lost against France, Croatia will never seem small again PS.. Lucy, you are not alone with your view of the world cup..

[@user-kn4gn1sc2s]

I love you croatia ❤️

[@dariostivic9791]

Lucy is awesome.That was the biggest game of our lives so far.We have give all,but get Nestor Pitanas incompetence.Heaven,at last,give a comment.Personally,im very proud, but also very bittered.They couldnt let us win,and when they started loosing ground under their feet,referee arived.Life goes on.Honest and humble croatian people and sportist are amazing. The future of our sport is bright.Greetings from Croatia.

[@stevebenic1345]

My father was a very humble man in the early 60s he bought the first ball and helped to start the first Croatian football team in Sydney. He stayed very low key and followed Sydney croatia all his . I was honoured to watch the 2018 world cup final with him and follow the country he escaped from in the 50s ( Yugoslavia then ) as a 17 year old . He died in 2019 . I can relate to Lucy it's very emotional seeing croatia do so well

Croatia is a testament to succeeding despite tremendous adversity.

[@joekerr9197]

There is as much Croats around the world as is in Croatia, if not more. We are one of the biggest immigrant countries in the world and just by sheer percentage of Croatians living outside of Croatia we can easily compare Croatia to Ireland and Italy in that respect.

[@powderskier5547]

Very true, I would say that their are more outside than inside, has to be 10 million in total or there abouts

[@blazinglexo8543]

Not realistic at all

[@doris4989]

I'm sorry but there is no way... 6-7 at MAX, depends how far in time you look and how many generations living outside you would count as Croatian

[@xboxgamerhr]

Yeah, due to being attacked by larger hordes throughout entire history

In the last 28 years since the war of independence Croatia has won a Silver medal in basketball against the MJ lead Dream team, two Davis Cups, produced the best female skier possibly of all time, won gold medals at Olympics and world championships in Waterpolo and Handball amongst many other individual achievements ie French Open, US Open and Wimbledon champs, best Discuss thrower in world , best tandem Rowers in the world, boxers , shooters, sailers, javelin throwers to name just a few. On top of this two podium finishes at the football World Cup. All from a country of 4.2 mill people’s. Talented is the word

I love Lucy and what a great job she did covering the World Cup. She's a class act, who does her homework and treats every nation with respect. Those idiots who criticised her for pronouncing the players as they should be in their native tongue are bloody morons. Good on Craig for standing up for her and showed what a decent bloke he is, as well as a bloody good football analysist. They should be given a regular show covering all world football or the PL when it starts. The best thing Optus did for the World Cup was stuffing up the coverage to get these two stars to cover the games.

[@JimmyGlo630]

Bravo Luce 👍❤️🇭🇷

[@orahovavucichitlerdacicgoe7223]

Love to Lucy from Scotland.

[@parkification83]

Great coverage. Zelic and Foster fantastic. Brought a lot to the coverage.

[@croatianguy7073]

I am still annoyed that Croatia didn't win the WC trophy. It was great to see us in the final but I wanted to fucking win. I wont be truly happy until we win the WC. Hrvatska can do it. We have so much quality it's ridiculous. Getting second place isn't good enough for me.

[@currybeef2106]

Your a legend Luc.. Keep up the great work.

[@kiriakoz]

What they did was amazing. A country of 4 million, a war-torn country and only their fifth tournament. If they can do it, surely Australia can too in the future (what I mean is that both countries have similar resources, Australia actually have more but football isn't as big a sport so maybe evens out).

[@thejosh3855]

kiriakoz War-torn? Lol, the war ended 23 years ago.

[@kiriakoz]

The Josh ummm, how old do you think most of these players are? It’s in their lifetime, in fact when they were young, which could impact government investment and a young footballers development.

[@Maria-qw9om]

The Josh Modrics grandpa was killed by Serbs while herding goats in the mountains where Luka used to help him, him and his family had to move to another city and live in a small hotel for years while little Luka played for the local club.

[@powderskier5547]

Australia might do it one day, they have plenty of Australian Croats playing for them now, in the past and am sure in the future

[@juresibenik5281]

Croatia was war-torned in 1995 not in 2018 or 2020 lmfao. Yes some of these players expirienced war but only few of them the oldest ones such as Modric and Lovren but that is not definition of war-torn country that is maybe trauma on individual level lmfao. Syria is war-torn country at the moment haha

I'm French but Love Modric and remember fondly Zucker, missed the Diamond on their jerseys. But what a match 6 goals and Croatia kept attacking. I'm so glad France won for the second time. Personally I did not see any looser only those who whinge! I feel so glad Optus let SBS take over. But Craig, you do love the sound of your voice don't you? you gave us a lot of good stuff but I wished you'd stuck to it. At times I felt sorry for Lucy and even more for the extra guests. Then came the end, and you had to fish for compliments and turned it into a personal emotional affair as if the WC was about you'z' in the studio. For me it made a great coverage become cheap emotional day of our lives. I think you should have a good look at these 3 books you had on that table.

[@Herisson756]

[@marztar]

So Larry David, what YOU are saying is that: AFRICAN players are superior physically... BUT NOT MENTALLY? ONLY with the ASSISTANCE of WHITE MAN can they utilize tactical superiority? Conversely, FRANCE with NO AFRICANS could be tactically superior until the cows come home, but they COULD ONLY WIN A WORLD CUP, once they called on THE ASSISTANCE OF AFRICANS?

[@brunolucas472]

Yes Craig Forster is right about France , we had our time of playing beautiful football in the 80 s but we got only 1 euros as reward so yes i agree its not pretty the way we play now but it is effective, we had to beat Argentina, Uruguay and a great Belgium team to win that cup, so not to forget our euro lost to Portugal we ended up learning how to win , no matter how!!!
