Robert Prosinečki [ˈrɔbɛrt ˈprɔsinɛtʃki] (born January 12, 1969 in Villingen-Schwenningen, West Germany) is a Croatian former football midfielder.

Club career

Born in Germany to a family of former Yugoslav gastarbeiter. Prosinečki moved to Yugoslavia at an early age. He started his professional career at Dinamo Zagreb where former Yugoslavian, (now Croatian) coach Miroslav Blažević sent him away, saying that, if Prosinečki ever became a real football player, he would eat his football diploma.^{[citation needed]}

Ironically Prosinečki developed into one of Yugoslavia's most gifted and talented players ever who was only held back from becoming one of the greats by his poor mental application and lack of dedication.^{[citation needed]} After that, he moved to Red Star Belgrade where he became a notable midfielder under coaches Dragoslav Šekularac and Ljupko Petrović, winning the European Cup in 1991.

He also played with Real Madrid, Real Oviedo, FC Barcelona, Sevilla FC, NK Hrvatski dragovoljac, Standard Liège, Portsmouth F.C. (where he is considered a legend despite playing only one season in the latter stages of his career), Olimpija Ljubljana, and Zagreb.

National team

Prosinečki has 49 caps for Croatia and has scored 10 goals for his country. He was also capped 15 times, scoring four goals, for Yugoslavia. In 1987, Prosinečki was named the tournament's best player as Yugoslavia won the World Youth Championship in Chile. He then played for Yugoslavia at the 1990 World Cup and for Croatia at Euro 96 and the 1998 and 2002 World Cups. It was in 1998 that Prosinečki and the Croatian squad won third place in the World Cup, with Prosinečki scoring two goals along the way.

Prosinečki is still held as a folk hero at Portsmouth for his marvelous one man performances in the centre of midfield, his goals and assists saving the club from relegation in the 2001/02 season. It was after talking to Prosinečki that current Croatia international Niko Kranjčar decided to sign for Portsmouth in the summer of 2006.

He is also the only player in World Cup history to score for two different national teams. In 1990, he scored one goal for Yugoslavia in a group match against the United Arab Emirates and eight years later he added two goals for Croatia by scoring in a group match against Jamaica and in the third place match against the Netherlands. He played in a total of nine World Cup matches, three for Yugoslavia in 1990 and six for Croatia in 1998 and 2002.

Miscellaneous

Prosinečki became infamously known for being a heavy smoker and rumors about his ability to smoke up to 40 cigarettes a day circulated in Croatian public for some time.

Prosinečki currently plays for NK Savski Marof in one of the Croatian fifth division leagues - the Zagrebacka county (Unified county league).

Prosinečki is regarded by many as the player with best technique that ever played in and for Croatia. Former national squad teammate Zvonimir Boban, humbly, also agreed with this. His dribbling is considered excellent, and his ability to keep possession of the ball is very highly regarded.

In 2006, he was recruited as an assistant by Croatia's national team coach Slaven Bilić, with whom he has been helping plan out strategies for the team.^[1]

Prosinečki was the lead star of a commercial campaign for Renault in Spain. [1]

Most Web sites are on a broadcast model since anyone with Internet access can view the sites. However, sites that require one to log-in before viewing content are based more on the narrowcast model. Push technologies which send information to subscribers are another form for narrowcasting. Perhaps the best example of narrowcasting are [[electronic mailing list]]s where messages are sent only to individuals who subscribe to the list.

The terms [[multicast]] and narrowcast are often used interchangeably, although narrowcast usually refers to the business model whereas multicast refers to the actual technology used to transmit the data. He also played with [[Real Madrid]], [[Real Oviedo]], [[FC Barcelona]], [[Sevilla FC]], [[NK Hrvatski dragovoljac]], [[Standard Liège]], [[Portsmouth F.C.]] (where he is considered a legend despite playing only one season in the latter stages of his career), [[Olimpija Ljubljana]], and [[NK Zagreb\|Zagreb]]. ~~==Scope==~~ Since 1985, cable programmes have been protected by copyright law. ''[[Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988]]'' defines a cable programme to mean ''any item included in a cable programme service which exists wholly or mainly in sending visual images, sounds, or other information by means of a telecommunication system, otherwise than by wireless telegraphy, for reception either (a) at two or more places (not necessarily simultaneously) or (b) for presentation to members of the public''. ==National team== In addition to familiar cable television services, a cable programme service might include a non-interactive online database service.<ref>''Dun & Bradstreet v. Typesetting Facilities'' [1992]</ref> It thus excludes interactive systems like teleshopping or internal business services, individual domestic services, services on single-occupier premises otherwise than by way of business amenity, Intranets, ''et al''.

The theory being that, by identifying particular [[demographic]]s viewing such programmes, advertisers can better target their markets. <!---DO NOT DELETE REPEAT ENTRIES!!!
