Cute Croation "ic"es: A Spotter's Guide
Posted by gauloises1 on April 27, 2009
It has come to my attention that there is some confusion about the relative identities, appearances and medical histories of Croatia’s finest, cutest, lankiest players, Mario Ancic and Marin Cilic.
So let me break it down for you. And no this is not just a specious excuse to post loads of pictures of my favourite boys. Why would you think that?
This …
… is Mario Ancic.
Major illnesses include mono and bronchitis. He’s also been injured by barbells and jet skis, and is currently playing … nowhere, due to his poor state of health.
And this …
… is Marin Cilic.
Major illnesses include an inflamed nerve in his face that kept him out for about five minutes, and … that’s it.
Marin, Mario.
Marin, Mario.
Marin, Mario.
See? They’re as different as night and slightly darker night.
This has been a Yellow Fuzzy Balls public service announcement.

THANKS FOR CLEARING THAT UP! Of course, when a certain Russian gets involved, it’s harder to tell the difference!
