Vatreni Spirit

Red-and-white checkers and immense extra-time survival grit. See if you have the heart of a Vatreni!

1. You see a sea of red and white checkerboard patterns everywhere. What does it remind you of?

A classic Italian restaurant tablecloth. The legendary, prideful jersey of Croatia (Vatreni). A chess board.

2. How do you feel about a team from a small country fighting against global powers?

They have no chance, why bother. Incredible underdogs with endless heart, resilience, and extra-time magic. It’s cool I guess.

3. A fan offers you a small glass of clear fruit brandy called Rakija. What is your move?

Use it as hand sanitizer. Toast ‘Živjeli!’ and knock it back like a true Balkan hero. Sip it very slowly over two hours.

4. The game goes into extra time and penalty shootouts. What is your state of mind?

Terrified and anxious. Calm confidence. Croatia owns extra time! I want to go home.

5. Someone mentions Luka Modrić. What do you do?

Ask what position he plays in football. Stand up and salute the eternal maestro of the midfield. Say ‘Oh yeah, the old guy’.
