Davor SUKER (9):

“This medal has made me very happy, and my six goals even more so. We never thought we’d make the semi-final. For us, this is as good as a final. It won’t hit us until tomorrow, when we arrive in our homeland. We are too isolated over here to appreciate the passion which has engulfed our country. My shot? VAN DER SAAR (NETHERLANDS – 1) was powerless to stop it.”

Aliosa ASANOVIC (7):

“We are the third best team in the world. We’ve achieved something incredible, which won’t be easy to do again. We’ve spent 50 days together, and we came very close to realising our dream against FRANCE…(sighs). My glasses? No, I can assure you that I don’t need them to put in a good pass!”
