Aww, it would have been great to see her in the ceremony, but I love how emotionally invested she was in the game! It seems she was team Croatia.

it's not awkward at all, you just don't seem to get it.

 

- croatia and hungary belonged in the same kingdom for almost a millenium (later both countries was forced to be part of the communist bloc over the iron curtain)

- adjacent countries, cultivating a very friendly relationship due to their common past and recent events (the best relationship is with the poles, croatia is in the next place)

- many hungarians spend their holliday in croatia (some even own a summer house there), quite a few watched the matches there

Your knowledge of history is problematic to say the least.

 

Yugoslavia was a communist country but it was definitely not under the "iron curtain". It was a country with very loose communism (more closely to socialism) and it was very open to the world. People were allowed to travel free all over the world and was very open to foreigners as well. Movie industry was also renowned and frequently had guest actors from all over the world, including United States. Former Yugoslavian head of state, Tito, refused to let the country fall under the Eastern block (and hence the so called Iron Curtain) and left the country open to Europe and World. After Tito died the politicians started each pulling in their sides which slowly but surely threw Yugoslavia into the civil war.

 

But old Yugoslavia (past WWII) was definitely not under the "Iron Curtain". That's incredibly inaccurate to say.

 

Also, calling Croatia "forced" in Yugoslavia is also wrong because prior to WWII (and big part of Croats siding with Nazi Germany) Croatia was part of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes (which later was renamed into Kingdom of Yugoslavia).

thanks for the addition. i wasn't gonna dig into these details and i'm not gonna carry on this thread, as i have no intention to derail this topic.

 

it was a side-note, by way of digression, to explain why it's self-evident for her to support croatia.

Well Barbara look good in those pictures and I have to say Martha does too and she's one of the Angels that I am soooo ready to see leave. I never liked her very much. 

I hope Babrara walks the VSFS this year. Most models I watched it for are gone (Miranda, Doutzen, Erin, Jourdan D, Shanina, Toni, Joan...). 

 

Thanks to everyone who has been posting pictures! It is much appreciated.
