in Croatia's unsuccessful qualifying campaign for the 2010 FIFA World Cup. Eduardo went on to make eleven appearances and score three goals as Croatia successfully qualified for the UEFA Euro 2012. At the finals, however, he only appeared as a late substitute in all of Croatia's three matches as they were eliminated in the group stage at the expense of eventual finalists Spain and Italy. After making seven appearances and scoring two goals in the qualifying campaign, Eduardo was selected to be part of Croatia's squad for the 2014 FIFA World Cup finals in his native Brazil. He did not feature in the defeat to the hosts in the opening match of the tournament, but came on for the last 21 minutes of the 4–0 win over Cameroon in the second group game, in place of Ivica Olić, to make his only appearance at the tournament, which saw Croatia eliminated in the group stage once again. On 15 July 2014, following the World Cup, Eduardo announced his retirement from the national team. Personal life On 10 December 2005, Eduardo married Andrea Šok in Zagreb. They have two children–daughter Lorena (b. 2006) and son Mateus (b. 2010), who plays for the U-11 side of CR Flamengo. Activism Eduardo has backed the Sports Business Club, an organization dedicated to save struggling grass-root football clubs from extinction, such as Gillingham Town, which was among the first to receive such help. About the venture, Eduardo said: "Everyone must come together to help. I can't put into words how important it is for everyone to support grass roots sports."
