It will always be a mystery to me why Đomba wasn't performing at his peak back in 2009 at age 32.
Yet today, we're perfectly fine with Zrnić being at the exact same age.
Then there's Christiansen, who also gave us plenty of trouble, now aged 38.
Meanwhile, Metličić, who just turned 34 a few weeks ago, is considered a liability.
And this isn't just about one game; it's been the entire tournament. We're struggling across the board.
It’s hardly a shock—we rushed to rejuvenate the national team in every single position, and now we're paying the price.
Look at the facts: Šprem was born in '79, Špoljarić in '79, and Dominiković in '78. What I wouldn't give to have Venio Losert in goal right now instead of these two who can never find consistency. Just look at the average age of most veteran keepers. If Šola could hold the line until he was 39, why on earth can't Losert do it at 34?!
I'm not suggesting everyone should be on the field, but at least a few of them...
Pure American stupidity, if you ask me.
