Croatia won against Austria and Wells, then played semifinals against Ireland, and finally beating the Netherlands in the final game.Croat Josip Josipovic was named player of the final, while three Croatian players -Tomislav Cvetko, Josip K, and Matija Basic - were selected for the European team.Last year the team had won the bronze medal at a championship played in Samobor, while the year before it had scored a silver.Australian football is a dynamic and rather rough sport, with 18 players on the field who can, according to the rules, even get into a fight.In Croatia, the sport has been played since 2003. Currently there are three amateur clubs - Zagreb Hawks, Agram Power and Velika Gorica Bombers. Croatian Cup will be played in Velika Gorica on Saturday.So far the Croatian team has financed all of their games from their own pockets, without official sponsors.Next year they hope to go to the World Championship for which they will need sponsorship, the internet portal 'Monitor' writes.
