Pronounced Hi-Duke, Hajduk Split is a soccer team in the first division of the Croatian (Hrvatski) soccer league. They are probably worse then every MLS team yet get more respect because they are from Europe. Also, everyone in Split is bonkers for them. Their team symbol is emblazoned on every single apartment complex and their flag flies from every post in Split, the second largest city in Croatia. When I was walking around in a Red Star Belgrade jersey (not even the same country although formerly part of Yugoslavia together) during a Hajduk game in Split, I was almost assaulted....like 10 times by drunken fans pissed at Hajduk´s loss to Sampdoria in the UEFA cup qualifying. In Europe, be careful about what soccer jerseys you wear.
