Marinko Buric and his family have their red and white Croatian soccer jerseys ready for when they'll visit a friend's house to watch Canada and Croatia play at the World Cup this Sunday.
Buric expects it to be a noisy morning, with a big breakfast and lots of cheering for the team from Croatia, despite the fact that it's Canada's first time at the tournament in decades.
"I am almost torn in a sense because I am a Canadian, but I am also Croatian because of my family heritage," said the Markham, Ont., resident. "I would like to see Croatia win despite the fact that ... I was born and raised in Canada."and Sunday's match will mark its second game at the tournament taking place in Qatar.
"When it comes to sports, people have divided loyalties," she said, adding that she is planning to watch the game with her family at home in Toronto. She said she hopes Canada, which is playing in group F, advances to the next stage of the tournament but she's rooting for Croatia to win the World Cup.
