Yeah, I mean who could have ever figured out someone named ANGUS was of Scottish origin???
Um, well at the very least all the Sydney-North-Shore-private-school-types who have been naming their soon-to-be-rich spawn Angus for YEARS...
But you should know that claiming any relatively successful person with even the most tenuous links to this country as one of our own is something that we excel at - AC/DC, Split Enz/Crowded House, Russel Crowe
As for the Croat thing, yeah, there's a bunch of them over here, same as Italians, Greeks, Vietnamese, Chinese, Lebanese, Pommy backpackers...
And the reason there's so many of them in the national team is that all the Anglo boys dump soccer for rugby (or league in the country) when they get to high school, while the Croats/Italians/Greeks/whatever keep playing soccer, luckily, or otherwise we would still be shit
