It was an amazingly fun, festive World Cup-NFCACF Welcome Party for Croatian fans in Philadelphia Friday night — sorry we sold out and the Stage Ballroon-Chalk Hall could only handle 325 fans — what a night with amazing musicians — 70 minute encore by Zvone-Marko was spectacular!

The great Modrić is almost as old as I was when I retired from professional chess in 2005, and that didn't require running kilometers in the heat! Ronaldo even older than him, but my sympathies are clear!

Difficult to find the right words. #Croatia is eliminated from the @FIFAWorldCup.

Thank you, Luka Modrić, for an unforgettable World Cup journey. Thanks for your public witness to the Catholic faith. Wishing you all the very best in the next chapter of your remarkable career. 🇭🇷

Amazing story and this couple’s
life intersected with our “Croatian March and Flag Unveiling”‘ in Philly and now the Croatian National Tourist Board is sponsoring a new dream honeymoon to Croatia for these newlyweds!

The lovely couple that were surrounded by Croatian fans in Philadelphia chanting and dancing with them are going to Croatia for their honeymoon. It’s being organized. ❤️🇭🇷🎉

Madam President Kolinda Grabar-Kitarovic was such star at our NFCACF World Cup Welcome Party in Philadelphia — our sellout crowd of 325 Croatian soccer fans from all over the world — appreciated her positive Croatian spirit-enthusiasm for our “Vatreni” — took photos w-101 folks!

Wonderful to see the two very funny standup comedians — George Dulcich and Stanko Zovak, from “All Things Croatia” fame; these two CA Croatians did an amazingly funny show here in Philly on Thursday night!

Here’s one photo from Governor Josh Shapiro’s World Cup reception at the Xfinity Arena; here with Lt. Governor Austin Davis-good chat and he acknowledged that his hometown of McKeesport PA has a huge Croatian American community-there use to be three CFU lodges there!

[Steven Rukavina @StevenRuksj]

@CroatiaInUSA It was a great World Cup reception with Governor Josh Shapiro and LG Austin Davis who’s from McKeesport PA-heart of Croatian territory in the Pittsburgh area; was a real honor and pleasure to attend
and represent the Croatian American community of Pennsylvania!
