The Croatia national football team will play their first match at the World Cup in six days. Croatian fans are recognizable in their red and white checks and under the slogan 'Uvijek vjerni'. American Croat Ante Kvartuč explained this slogan for the prestigious magazine The Athletic. He is the administrator of the Croatian Sports page and often comments on topics related to the Croatian national team. Kvartuč says that 'Uvijek vjerni' means that Croats are with their team until the end, whether they win or lose. This is not just a football team, but also represents everything that Croats are. Our blood, our DNA, and our culture. We are them and they are us. There are four million Croats in Croatia and another four million around the world. We are a global nation and wherever we go, we build communities. During the World Cup, these communities become something special - embassies of the Croatian people. You will find us there together, experiencing all the events as one nation with one consciousness. The schedule of Croatia in group L has been announced and fans can expect interesting matches. Croatia will play against England, Panama, and Ghana.
