FEBRUARY 6, 2012--"Despite an unusual snowy cold front hitting Zagreb, Croatia our EMSC/MEFC boys show resilience with numb toes and fingers, and slipping and sliding on freshly plowed turf..." says EMSC President, Susan Rossiter.  She goes on to say, "We are showing well in the U19 and U17 age groups, which is quite impressive considering we are competing with several players from the Croatian national team...I am very proud of all the boys!".  

The focus of GNK-Dinamo Zagreb is player production - And they've earned quite a name for themselves through their production of players, and even more impressive than their ability to produce quality footballers, is the success in placing these player's at various professional clubs throughout Europe.  Dinamo is known across Europe as one of the best Youth Academies, and continuously proves that in the standings and tournaments they participate in (local and international, at all age levels).  The players are functionally superior to the competition and have a distinct style of play, they move the ball very quickly, sharply, with crisp passes, and the movement off the ball is as efficient as with it - it's just beautiful football to watch.

Take a look at the 1999 Boys from October 2011 (one of Dinamo's strongest age groups)
