Hmm..OK, that seems to be the general consensus of (ignorant) people nowadays. I wonder why no one saying such things about 3 years ago, when we were in a transition period and really lacked quality. It's not a coincedence 3 years ago our players were being sold primarily to weaker leauges, like Ukraine and Russia. Look back on the past season; Eduardo to Arsenal, Corluka to Man City, Modric to Tottenham, Kranjcar to Portsmouth; all top clubs and for top money I might add. Next in line is Rakitic and trust me he will go to a strong club.
We have fucking good, young, players who have grown and experienced tough competions now. No one is overrating anyone, they are JUST THAT GOOD!
Another thing, I don't consider it much of an achievement personaly, but some do. Croatia is currently ranked #5 on FIFA's list, ahead of the likes like Argentina and Brazil. I guess the whole world is overrating us and our overrated players.
