Well Croatia didn't make it, Bosnia & Herzegovina not here, Montenegro aren't here. So when you say they are producing, they are producing some decent players, but hardly anything that warrants surprise.
Did you read my post? Bringing Montenegro (FIFA ranking #64) into the equation is like saying Lowland countries don't perform well, due to Luxembourg's (#127) performances.
Incidentally, Jason Culina, Mile Jedinak, Eugene Galekovic and Dario Vidosic of the Australian World Cup squad are all of Yugoslav ancestry, as are internationals Danny Vukovic, Ante Covic, Michael Petkovic, Matthew Sipranovic, Oliver Bozanic who have all had recent Australian squad inclusions. Oh, and mark Viduka. Melbourne Knights and Dandenong City in Melbourne alone are clubs of Croat/Croatian immigrant origin.At least 45 players of Croat ethnicity have represented Australia at international level- not bad, seeing as they only comprise 0.6% of the population.
