I'm sorry...Croatia and Cameroon?  I'm surprised that you, as a Croatian, have such a dim view of your own country. Since independence in 1991, you have qualified for all bar one world cup finals  and were semi-finalists in 1998.  That is an exemplary record.

Cameroon have qualified for 6 world cup finals and reached the quarter finals in 1990.  Again, that is a record that far surpasses many, so called, traditional footballing nations.

I was just trying to point out their failure in this World Cup, while trying not to anger many other nationalities that actually have worse teams :)

Croatians tend to be all or nothing nation - either we are the champs (Handball, Waterpolo, tennis, basketball once upon a time) or don't even bother showing. Going to the WC to lose in a group stage is a disappointment...

But most of all, I was exaggerating....
