Yep & then never played a minute in WC 2006, very interesting that Guus never played him.

Hiddink not using him was one of the strangest things of that World Cup, they could have used him when we played against eventual world champions Italy but it wasn’t to be.

No brainer, he will opt for Croatia.

Play against mainly European opposition or Lowly Asian nations ?

He’s got time, at the end of the day it’s he’s choice where he wants to play for internationally.

Wish him well, the Skoko name has given me nostalgia from 2006 a great player for the Roos whom i remember he scored that banger against Greece before the World Cup.

Guys.. put yourselves in the Skoko's shoes. They moved to Croatia and hes still a junior so him playong for Croatian underage teams is easier re travel and most importantly puts him in view of clubs there which helps his club career. If he plays for the australian under age teams he'll get less exposure there in Croatia. Makes perfect sense that hes chosen this path so far, but wouldnt mind betting once he establishes himself, he'll play for Australia.   

He's also been in Aus camps/teams hasn't he?

He has spent almost all his life in Australia and moved to Croatia just 2 years ago. It’s not like he’s been with Hadjuk since u12. His father played for Australia. His heart probably lies with Australia tbh

patriotic people, playing for a good club, travel is easy, they are an incredible national side...not an easy choice

He has plenty of time - I suspect he may well end up in the Socceroos.

I think Head Socceroos is pretty good too

Snr's quote :

“He’s always said he wants to play at a World Cup and for me I’d just be happy to see him play for either country. If he can get to that level then he’s done well.

“If there’s ever a choice to be made it’s up to him and he’ll know at the time what’s best for him.

In the kids court but like any kid he will discuss further when the time comes with Pop and you go from there.
Whatever ticks the boys box's, happens for many in this good position having 2 options good luck to him.

yeah I'd give up on this one. If he's good enough for croatia, then he takes that opportunity

I wouldn't give up until he's capped and locked in.

Good luck to him, but I can't understand him not wanting to follow in his father's footsteps?!!
