Marin Cilic`s Fans Celebrate With Serbian Flags

A keen Marin Cilic fan has launched a website dedicated to the Croat player and posted an image of Serbian fans, claiming they are Croatian.

Famous, beloved and adored athletes usually have websites dedicated to them, which are launched by their fans, thus taking on the role of reporters of a line of details regarding their favourite athlete.

Serbia or Croatia, what`s the difference

Marin Cilic is no exception, but whoever dedicated the www.marin-cilic.com website to him, has got a screw loose, or should we say, they got their flags wrong.

The website dedicated to currently the highest-ranking Croatian tennis player was attentively created, you can read all the details about his matches, whom he plays against, when, which ATP position he has etc.

Of course, apart from reading about Cilic`s successes, you can see his triumphs and tournaments in images. The court, the rival, the fans… You can see everything, but this is exactly the problem. The person who passionately claims that they adore the Croatian player have posted a photo of Serbian fans and Serbian flags, adding a caption: “Croatia fans at the Janko Tipsarevic of Serbia versus Marin Cilic of Croatia match Jan 2009”.

An error occurred because the Serbian fans were supporting Janko Tipsarevic, Cilic˙s opponent. This would not be a strange thing were the image posted by a foreign medium, and not someone calling themselves a passionate fan.

Perhaps the website ad will have to introduce some more criteria, because questions “Are you a passionate Cilic fan? Do you like to write? Do you want to run a website?” are clearly not enough. Perhaps a small test on recognising national flags should be added…
