The Mediterranean man, no1 has quite a robust face and is very fair for the Balkans

Isn't Arbeloa just marginally too dark for Croatia? (Croats aren't like Southern Balkanites on the whole).

I don't think so, Croatians are hardly like the French either, i have always seen them as fairly close to Greeks like other Balkanites.

In pigmentation at least (maybe less so features), Croats are certainly much more French-like than Greek-like.

You think? many seem quite swarthy in a Balkan manner and the Spaniard you posted is still lighter than many others i.e Rodri or Xavi Hernandez

I always thought of Slovenes and Croats as mostly looking more Central Euro than Balkan/Mediterranean.

Slovenes yes but Croats tend to darker types a little more, oddly enough Slovenes seem even lighter than many Hungarians

None. First looks scandinavian, second looks middle eastern

You said it, not me. (And as Oliver said, he is hardly the darkest Spaniard there is either).

Magyar influence and bordering Serbia and Romania might explain that?

The thread founder clearly asks us to choose between Larsson and Arbeloa.
"Neither" is not a valid response to the question posed.
That neither Larsson nor Arbeloa look Croatian is what makes the thread interesting.

I pick Arbeloa.

Surely one passes at least marginally better than the other?

They don't, both look equally foreign, sorry. None of them would be taken for a Croat.

But for the opposite reasons, presumably?

Same reason - foreign facial features

I just noticed that the poll has a "both in equal measure" third option.
I apologize for my quoted reprimand.

None. Second looks more Italian or Arab. Doesn't have the super high cheekbones that Slavs have.

Second one, as atypical.
