@Allen,
Its ok, everyone has their moments. Just take a deep breathe next time you comment.
you should be able to delete your comments. Click on the trashcan icon next to the time of the comment.
No need to delete your comment. You bring good stuff to the table and are a valuable member of CSR. Everything is ok. Nice to see you apologize, shows character.
My bad guys, I woke up and realized that was a douche moment. I don't know what came on to me, maybe something sparked. My close friend Nick has been missing past two days and no one knows where he is, he left his house so I got some major concern for that. My bad Andrej, I shouldn't put down my own Hrvati like that. I do need to relax, I just have a lot of passion when I watch things I really like… whatever I will get off the argument. I was really out of line, hopefully Croatian sports.com let's you delete your posts.
Just for the record, I'd be 100% down with fantasy hockey. And people think i love soccer… Just wait till NHL starts.
Also, I just want to state that Gareth Bale is like 2 good seasons away from being world class. CLOSE, but still up and coming.
Just waiting for you to jinx it again. This year would be the triple for me. I will celebrate with a Karmelit triple.
When I win, do I just take a picture of my beautiful face, go to Kinko's, blow it up, sign it and hang it up on my wall? Would that be weird?
Nehhhh….
@Andrej,
No worries. Everything is fine. No wrong or right person in this argument. I just thought Allen was out of line for going off on you like that.
thanks Denis I think allen just does not watch to much outside of tottenham so he thinks I am being offensive but I am just calling it how I see it.
As I have said to anyone I am up for an argument just prove your points. Its as simple as that. I try to at least provide examples as to why I feel that way
Allen sorry if I offended you but its just the obvious. I want to let you know kranjcar is one of our best and one of my favorites! But what a man says and does is not the pont if he is stol on the bench! I want him to move and play I an saying he would start more than 2 if he was behind messi and bale is no messi like it or not. Obviously kranjcar can do it against better teams but unless he leaves he can talk to media all he wants but it will not change a thing. And yes bale is not world class sorry you have to be consistent and that he is nowhere near right now! Sorry I know you are a tottenham fan boy but I watch more than them and they are noy a top team cause of one good season so when thee best players want to leave you can't get mad.
I am glad everyone is excited about EPL fantasy league this season. We had a good turn out last year with 130 members.
@JP,
Us Yanks are not that into hockey. Don't get me wrong, I love hockey, just not as much as football(soccer) and basketball. I usually catch the Kings once or twice a year. Not enough time for Hockey as it competes with European football and the NBA for me. However, I just told Ante that Hockey will be my #2 this season if the NBA goes on strike.
Sure lets do a fantasy NHL if there is enough interest. Outside of New England, Chicago-Detroit area, no one in the states talks hockey. Glad to see Winnipeg returned to the NHL.
@Allen19
dude, take a chill pill. Relax over there. You make some valid points and everyone is on the same team here. You have a right to disagree, but calling Andrej a "bias prick, and idiot. " ? I think you need to apologize. Andrej could bash Kranjcar all he wants, his opinion.
Andrej, you have single handily annoyed the crap out of me with your dumbass posts. You love people like that tool Olic, yet give no respect to Niko. NO DECENT FUCKING TEAM MAKES IT TO ROUND OF 8 OF CHAMPIONS LEAGUE YOU TOOL!! You bias prick, you idiot. I swear for now on, seriously just ignoring your posts. Alright so I can't get excited over a game just cause of league one. I am just happy Niko tore up a friendly, it's been a while since he played. Oh I forgot, he has to score two lucky goals against Manchester United to be relevant… please piss off. He will go somewhere to play, he truly loves the game. In interviews he always states he wants to play whether your bias ass sees it or not.
It's not his fault he plays where a world class player like Bale plays ( oh Bale's not world class blah blah, well the guy is damn good sir). In the end, Kranjcar doesn't fit the system so I don't know. All I know is I am happy for him regardless three assists and they were long balls shows he's on form. Just makes me sick that I can't get excited like damn. I got excited when Persic played well and scored in a friendly for Dortmund. I am sorry I still got the kid in me and get excited for not so much meaningful things like damn. Whatever rant is done…
MK Dons is the same level as NK Rijeka so I wouldn't take much from the game. Everyone already knows what Kranjcar can do but the opponent is hardly anything to get excited about and its a friendly most of all with mostly 2nd team players. Woohoo? lol
Kranjcar isn't in a hurry to go anywhere as long as his salary is nice he will be happy. Kranjcar is a solid player he should be looking for another club or demanding a move if he really cares. 2 starts for a decent PL team? Laughable! He would start more in every top team in the world…let alone a Tottenham side. Money speaks though in the end…
Overall I really dont care its up to Kranjcar but his lack of games is going to hurt him and his chances in the NT. He is a game changer and he will get the call ups but you can tell the guy is rusty with his touch and he just isnt as sharp. Like i said he can play bad for 89 minutes and change the game in 1 minute but he does have to up his club status.
It got taken down…crap.
@Allen19
I wouldn't exactly say he works his ass off. Can you post the highlights? I could only find his goal.
Niko absolutely tore it up today. I saw some major highlights and he was just incredible. The waiting sucks, but I know in the end Niko should make the right move. I am so excited to see what he does and I will absolutely get his jersey. All time favorite player for Croatia, since watching the NT in 2006. You can give me all your stories of the whole Dinamo fiasco, I don't care. The guy works his ass off and has had an excellent two years. I think he still had a great this year, he was the man for the national team in most qualifiers and when he played for Tottenham, he made serious impact. He gave them 6 points on his own with game winners, when the hell did guys like Defoe or Pavs or Crouch do that..I can't wait till Niko breaks out for club team, I am really pushing for him to go to Serie A so we have a guy in Serie A that's relevant just like Rakitic in La Liga.
Well, I had fun in the first year in the pool, learning how to play a little bit… met with a little success too, as both my teams promoted to Premiership… be on the lookout for NK Uskok and NK Nehaj.
The boys are shooting for Top spot this year, and preseason has been promising so far.
Fantasy Hockey is killer too, we might want a CSR league for that?
Haven't played NFL fantasy before.
Rangers awful vs Malmo, losing 1-0 at home. (Jelavic needs a strike partner)
Niko with 3 assists and a golaso vs MK Dons in 5-3 victory
@Denis
A picture Ante Kvartuc is fine but can we make it at least 16×20…at teh very least!
It's finally back! EPL fantasy rivals NFL easily. I'd much rather domiNate 2 million people instead of 10 friends.
Modric needs to hurry up and sign for Chelsea, Spurs have a tough first 3 games.
No Serbs for me, I'm not a hater but I can't exactly cheer for them either. Ivanovic is a tough one to leave out, he's going to have a big year.
LOL at your German, ah that's nice though you know me I love EPL. I know it a lot and just to tell you all my team name is AC Bayerland. It was my team name when I had a winter soccer league this year. I will give you a quick breakdown. I dare anyone to put a Croat on their team not even Modric ( who is probably VERY overrated in fantasy cause he doesn't put up stats). I may take a chance on Klasnic if Danny Sturridge leaves. Niko is done with EPL most likely, Corluka isn't a good fit, Kale is done. WE NEED CROATS!!! Btw if I win, I am going to proudly put the picture of Ante in my room right next to my Dwayne Wade poster. Quick breakdown of the first place team (yeah I'm cocky with this stuff).
Goalies we got Tim Howard always solid and plays for solid defense in Everton. Jaaskelanien is my backup for Bolton, who was impressive last season until late when Bolton fell off. People forget Bolton was in 8th for a while but when Holden got hurt they fell off.
Defense we got Gary Cahill, who may go to Arsenal or Man City. He's the next big centerback in England. Skrtel should be damn good for Liverpool with their incredible attack this year. Rob Huth is underrated for Stoke and can score.Assou Ekotto is my only Tottenham guy, he is so talented huge fan of him. Phil Bardsley is my backup, he scored a few crackers and I do like Sunderland.
Midfield is where the big names come in. Ashley Young and Stuart Downing come into new teams with Man U and Liverpool. I expect big things out of both of them like they did at Villa last year. Charles N'Zogbia was the main reason Wigan stayed up, now he goes to Villa and should tear things up sending in balls to Darren Bent. Bent may miss about 10 sitters a season but still scores about 18. Joey Barton may be an evil human being, but he had an incredible season and is at a cheap price. My backup is Matty Etherington who did damn good for Stoke. Cheap price with great value.
Strikers we got Darren Bent who like I said may miss easy ones but always manages to score. Bobby Zamora should be back with a huge vengeance. He was one of the best strikers in 09-10 season. He was hurt until Feburary last year. Martin Jol will make him a huge hit like he once was. Jermaine Beckford is my backup and has huge potential for Everton. Just youtube his goal against Chelsea and you would think it was Messi.
That's my team, will see what happens. F the Serbs…
Last year, we had a great turn out of 130 EPL fantasy players. The Goldenchild was saying "why me" after the 10th round. Fisto was talking all this shit after finally jumping me in the standings in the 20th round, onda se pokrija usima, finishing on the second page. Your very own Ante Kvartuc jinxed himself once again. Telling me and Fisto: "You guys are done". He was right on Fisto, but I ended up coming back, week after week, and jumped him in week 29.
Hell of a fantasy year I might say.
EPL starts in a few weeks. Lets go lets go lets go!
CroatianSports is taking much longer than we anticipated. We just have a few minor details to finalize. Also, Ante and I still have to tag and categorize 1000+ articles. Almost there guys.
@DinamoDennis
Great idea! Winner gets a signed 8×10 of Ante Kvartuc….
Ante and I will think of something and give prizes to the top 10.
@Allen19
We would do Bundesliga fantasy if it were in English. Sprechen sie deutsch?
NFL means nothing to me. My football is round.
FC Grandmas boy
I'm shaking in my boots
@Ante B
Just for the record, I never had a Serb on my fantasy team. Not good for business.

American football NFL is the only game to worry about when it comes to Fantasy anything.
For those of you playing Fantasy Soccer: which one of you had at least one Serb on your team?
There should be prizes for the winner!
Any updates on croatiansports.com guys???
