Culture
Croatia has a history of popular music related to its national team's appearances at major tournaments. Croatian manager Slaven Bilić's band Rawbau, for which he plays guitar, released its single "Vatreno ludilo" shortly before the tournament, commemorating the nation's third-place finish at the World Cup a decade earlier. Croatian defender Josip Šimunić also appeared on a football single by the German-Croat band Oprez, titled "Svaki". Croatia Records released a compilation of football and patriotic songs before the tournament titled "Srce vatreno", with some proceeds going to a charity founded by members of the national team.

Famous quotes containing the word culture:
“Here in the U.S., culture is not that delicious panacea which we Europeans consume in a sacramental mental space and which has its own special columns in the newspapers—and in people’s minds. Culture is space, speed, cinema, technology. This culture is authentic, if anything can be said to be authentic.”
—Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
“The second fundamental feature of culture is that all culture has an element of striving.”
—Johan Huizinga (1872–1945)
“Whatever offices of life are performed by women of culture and refinement are thenceforth elevated; they cease to be mere servile toils, and become expressions of the ideas of superior beings.”
—Harriet Beecher Stowe (1811–1896)
