Well done Luka. Keep up the consistent superb performance. If Croatia wins the world cup I wouldn't be surprised if Luka Modric wins the Bal on dor this year! Not to mention he, together with his midfield brother Kroos were very, instrumental in Real Madrid's Champion's League success, but got little or no recognition.
