Main types and pass Croatian footballers who didn't fullfill expectations

[Jana]

A collection of players who were predicated to have big careers but it didn't happen (some are still playing though).
Some were stopped by injuries, some simply dissapeared in minor European or Croatian leagues while some had very good careers and big role in national team (like Niko Kranjčar), but still nowhere as good as was expected of them.

The half pali looks arabid in the eye area, eyes are very deep set and their shape.
I'd have classified him as assiroid + baltid, or balto-med.

Anyone have an idea of what is this nose called? I mean the nose tip, it has two concavities, seems familiar.

half bosniak looks nordo-med-cm

^^^^I think he has CM/Borreby nose

Yes, exactly what I was thinking, points to CM admixture, not the first time I noticed this type. Common in north atlantids, I know some swedes with this type of nose.

Intermediate between Central and Southern Europe - like a more Eastern version of the Southern French.

Last batch of photos looks more Medish - even the blond guy has Southern facial features.
