The second week of July is some week in the history of Croatian sports. On Tuesday we went back in time 12 years to 9 July 2001 when Goran Ivanisevic beat Pat Rafter to win Wimbledon, and now today, 11 July, we turn back the clock 15 years to the day Croatia finished 3rd at the 1998 football World Cup in France, an achievement that saw wild celebrations all over Croatia in the ensuing days.
