	www.theage.com.au - One who escaped Socceroos' net (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		The towering Simunic — at 195 centimetres, he has a height advantage over most strikers — was born in Canberra, where he polished his skills at the Australian Institute of Sport before moving to Melbourne to sign for the Knights, a club with strong connections to the Croatian community.
		Simunic made his Croatia debut late in 2001, about the time Australia lost its crucial World Cup qualifier to Uruguay, and when injury forced regular defender Igor Tudor out of the World Cup, the then 24-year-old was called up and played in all three matches in the first phase before Croatia crashed out of contention.
		Simunic also has played at the European championships (where Croatia also made a first-phase exit) and is now a mainstay of the team, playing in both games against Brazil and Japan.

	Hertha BSC: Quo vadis Joe Simunic?
		The future of the big Croatian defender Josip Simunic at Hertha is still written in the stars.
		Simunic has let a deadline for accepting a new offer tabled by Hertha pass by: "We have decided to retract our offer", revealed the Hertha manager Dieter Hoeneß.
		Joe Simunic, who is currently on holiday in Australia, refuses to comment on his future, so Hertha is scouring the market for a possible replacement: "If Joe wants to stay, he will have to approach us.

	Simunic stars in 'World Cup wrestling'
		Late in the match Simunic tried the same thing with Viduka again, this time in the middle of the pitch, then followed it with another diving body tackle on Socceroo striker Josh Kennedy.
		Simunic ended up being shown four cards - three yellow and a red - the last of them on the final whistle.
		A dark-looking Simunic later brushed past media from both Australia and Croatia, refusing to answer questions, such as whether he chose the right country to play for.

		Australian-born Croatian international Josip Simunic was sure he was set for a Socceroos' showdown at the World Cup even before last week's draw.
		Simunic is one of three Australian-raised players likely to feature in the Croatian squad for Germany 2006, along with left-sided player Ante Seric and goalkeeper Joey Didulica.
		Simunic, currently with Hertha BSC Berlin in the Bundesliga but hopeful of soon landing a deal with a 'bigger club in a bigger league', rejected offers to play for Australia before making his senior international debut with Croatia in 2001.

	Final Football Forums - Simunic on depression
		BERLIN (AFP) - Hertha Berlin defender Josip Simunic claims almost half of the players in the Bundesliga struggle to cope with the pressure that leads to the depressive state his former team-mate Sebastian Deisler is in.
		Simunic, 24, played with Deisler for two seasons at Hertha and himself suffered from depression when he was at SV Hamburg in 1999.
		I think Simunic is overdoing it with the 50% fact.

	FIFA boss Blatter blasts officials over three-card drama
		IFA President Sepp Blatter has blasted not only English referee Graham Poll but his assistants for giving Croatia defender Josip Simunic three yellow cards in the pulsating 2-2 draw with Australia.
		Poll did not realise he had already given Simunic a yellow card when he booked him a second time and only showed a red card when he was confronted by the player when the match was actually over Thursday.
		Blatter said he could not understand why neither Poll's assistants nor the fourth official picked up on the error especially as they were wired up to communicate via radio headsets.

		That is why he failed to send Simunic off at that point in the match.
		When Simunic committed another bookable offence, Poll thought he had only shown the Croatian one previous yellow card and so sent him off in stoppage time at the end of the 2-2 draw which secured Australia's ticket into the next round.
		The head of the referees' committee, Angel Maria Villar Llona, said in the statement: "The experienced official is disappointed at having committed the error, the first such mistake in his 26-year career.

		In the final 10 minutes of the match 3 players were expelled from the game Dario Simic and Brett Emerton for their 2nd cautions and Josip Simunic after amazingly receiving his 3rd caution for the match in a night that surely English referee Graham Poll wishes never had happened.
