Two more players, also playing for the country's youth team, were not included in the application for Euro 2004. This is Niko Kranchare and Daniela Pranich, who play for the Zagreb Dynamo. Behind the side of the national team, the striker of the Austrian Carinthia Mario Marich also remained.

Meanwhile, against the player of the main composition of the Croatian national team, the midfielder Ivitsa Mornar from the English Portsmut opened a criminal case. He is accused of illegally obtaining Belgian citizenship.

According to the player, this happened at the most inopportune moment when he gives all his strength to preparations for the championship. Mornar does not agree with the prosecution and declares: I spent six wonderful years in Belgium, I paid a lot of taxes there, I cried when I left Anderlecht, and I hope to buy a house there, having completed my career.
