Welcome to Friday. Today, I will receive my credentials, interview fans, participate in both Croatian and Ukrainian final training sessions and mingle with the press. Last night, I left a comment about some news that could change the way you look at CSR forever. Sometime next week, I will meet with the ˝head honcho˝ to further add to this wonderful story. Look for this story sometime next week.

For the first time ever, I was lucky enough to meet Croatian manager Slaven Bilić. As he was leaving the training facility, I managed to stop him for a three minute conversation. I introduced myself in English, informed Slaven on the website and presented him with a gift. Slaven chose the light blue over the green and dark blue.
