Croatian soccer fans trade blood for Football tickets.

Oddly Enough News Article | Reuters.com

Croatia has got to be one of my favorite countries in Europe… I’ve visited Zagreb tons of times, had friends in Rijeka, spent two summers in Makarska/Split area, and this short article brought all the memories of my many football-loving croatian friends flooding back in.

ZAGREB (Reuters) - Croatian soccer fans rushed to donate blood this week in exchange for tickets for the national team’s decisive World Cup qualifying game against Sweden, the Vecernji List daily reported Friday.

The game’s organizers set aside 300 tickets for the occasion but the number of volunteer blood donors in Zagreb was several times higher. Students cut classes and employees used their lunch breaks to queue in the hospital, the daily said.

Croatia came out even with Sweden after both games (0:0 on aggregate), but beat Malta, Iceland and Bulgaria squarely and currently stand on the top of the group.
