They all look like normal Europeans except Antony Grdic. Is he fully Croatian?

Robert Prosinecki is very blond and Nordid. Looks like a tough guy.

I was contemplating about posting a thread with sportists from the good ol' S&M, when I saw this thread. Oh well, it seems me and Zvaci share the same brain

I think that Prosinecki is actually Slovenian, not a Croat...right?

Do you think the nose is natural or did he hit it somewhere?

That is news to me. He played in Slovenia recently (or still does), but other than that I do not know about any Slovenian roots of his.

Was he not born in Germany? Is he fully Croat?

Niko Kovac got a strong Turanid strain .

He looks a bit out of place, yes, but Turanid? He has a look that is common in Turkey, but with Turanid I usually associate something else (like the appearance of some Hungarians). I guess his "odd" traits can not be explained by Turanid alone.

Was he not born in Germany? Is he fully Croat?

I noticed that, too. If he were part German, he would play for Germany, I assume. His look is common in Croatia.
