Putting a clear value on the opportunity in front of us let use seen it the way it supposed to be.
I'm happy you brought this up, kalinic really fucked up. In fact he messed up. If it is African player that do this, then I can say it his because of the value will place on our country. It's Africa especially Nigeria that they will call on player and he will reject the opportunity to represent his country.
I always seen players from Europe grabbing the opportunity to represent their country. But kalinic decision really surprised me.
He didn't place value on his team and may be he never believe they can come this far. Now he will be regretting and if Croatia wins the world Cup. He wouldn't be able to forgive himself.
Thanks for sharing @communitycoin and @olawalium
He must really be kicking himself right now. Even if they fail to win it, these set of Croatian players would forever remain a hero in their homeland and i can't say the same for Kalinic right now. He didn't appreciate the rare opportunity he had in being called for a World Cup; a 30 year old which might actually be his last World Cup, and he blew it, regardless of what his excuse might be. Really sad.
Hahahahaha it's his last World Cup, that one is for sure. Because by the time the next world Cup arrive, he would be 34 years. Then who will take a 34 years old player to World Cup competition. Even if they wants to take him along, he already has a bad reputation in his homeland.
If he didn't damage his reputation, they would have taken him, at least for compensation and also for loyalty sake. I was shocked when Croatia took Corluka to World Cup. That dude should be around 36-38 by now.
Yes, you are very right. But he as misused the opportunity been given to him. That's so bad of of him.
He has lost it...and it is very terrible...
Hahahahahaha terrible indeed, lesson learned.
