His family became refugees, in a warzone.
He grew up to the sound of grenades exploding.
Coaches said he was too weak and too shy to play football.

I don't think Luka will care, as Ronaldo will be 100 of miles away in Turin.If Croatia win the WC Ronaldo is going to hate Modric.
I thought he was v very good -as always- yesterday, but Rakatic was also superb, and his role in taking charge of the match cannot be overlooked.
Outstanding player. Never really understood why Iniesta gets so much more praise than Modric
Wow. No arguing with that. I still prefer watching Modric though.Because he is one of the most decorated players in Spains history
