Why do Croats lounge over a cup of coffee for hours? What’s the American equivalent to Čokolino? And what’s the deal with mandatory tipping? In this podcast friends and colleagues Gaj Tomaš, a Croat and Cody McClain Brown, an American but nativized Croatian, explore the charming (and less charming) sides of life in their respective countries. In each episode, they’ll tackle a new topic—whether it’s food, healthcare, or measurement units—and compare how it’s seen and experienced in Croatia and the USA.

In this episode, Gaj and Cody tackle the cultural divide in sports between Croatia and the USA. Why are American sports teams tied to schools, while Croatians find their pride in club teams? They unpack America’s obsession with football, basketball, and baseball, while Europe (and especially Croatia) bleeds for soccer—or football, as they’d insist.

Gaj tries to understand the phenomenon of college football, with its massive stadiums and community spirit, while Cody navigates Croatia’s ultras culture, from the fiery loyalty of Hajduk Split fans to the infamous hooliganism of Bad Blue Boys. They dive into the pride Croatians feel for their national team and why sports in the U.S. often seem more about the spectacle than the game itself.

And of course, they tackle the big question: Why do Americans call it soccer? Prepare for laughs, insights, and the ultimate sports culture showdown.
