Here we go! I am officially nominating myself as president of the 'Marco Pašalić Right Wing 2026' campaign! For nearly half a decade, the Vatreni half lacked a 2-sided attack down the wings. Perišić + Rebić was the last time Croatia had a duo who could run at opposing defenses. Now that Ivan Perišić has surely shut up any doubters (including me) since returning from major knee … [Read more...] about Marco Pašalić For Right Wing! Change My Mind

Botafogo beat PSG. … [Read more...] about 2025 Club World Cup: Hit Or Miss So Far???

Per Gianluca Di Marzio, AC Milan are CONFIDENT that they will sign 39 year-old Luka Modrić TOMORROW! This is massive news.

What could have been at Poljud this season. This was the year Hajduk was supposed to win the HNL...for the first time in 20 years. With or without Perišić. Instead, the Croatian legend was ousted from his hometown club after only four matches played by a manager (Gattuso) who may only make it one season in Split.
