Macedonia versus Croatia
Although Croatia has, on paper, the better team, with the support of their vocal home fans, Macedonia can collect their first point(s) in the EURO 2008 tournament.
They will need to play much better than in their first game against Germany, where set plays plays decided the game for the opponent.
The Croatian team is built around the experienced players of Podravka Vegeta with classy internationals like Maida Arslanagic, Dijana Golubic and Lidija Horvat. Zdravko Zovko has bigger aims for his team, but he’s taking things one step at a time.
A full house in Skopje is expected for tonight, with the Macedonian fans creating another fantastic atmosphere in a bid to lift their team to their first win in the championship.
ADDTIONAL ANNOUNCEMENT: Croatia have nominated their 16th player at EURO 2008. Goalkeeper Jelena Grubisic from Lokomitiva Zagreb will join the squad.
