    Caught the last few minutes of the game. Was Modric injured?

    Nope, he was captain and played the full 90+. Croatia dominated the early action, then Bale scored for Wales and seemed to light a fire under the team that carried them to a spirited 1-1 draw. The last few minutes was almost anti-climactic since Bale was hurt but Wales was out of subs, so they were playing essentially with 10 men on the pitch. It was an entertaining game though.

    The USNMT lost to Canada last night 2-0. First loss to the Nuks since 1985. For the benefit of Terry, the scale of the loss is like ND losing at home to Rutgers.

    that was painful with our best player on the bench. I have no faith in this staff or the USMNT Admins to get this righted. It's a terrible waste of great young talent.

    Easy answer... Croatia. Lithuania has diplomatic relations with Croatia; plus, check out the outfits that the Croatian bodyguards/bellhops wear while guarding the Lithuanian ambassador

    As for the Welsh, Evelyn Waugh seemed to think the rest of the world kind of avoided having relationships with them
