The draws of the European tournaments have been set and clubs that hail from Croatia have faired very well and are expected to advance.
Dinamo Zagreb was paired up with Luxembourg champions, CS Fola Esch. Dinamo last played the team in Champions League qualifiers two years ago and dominated the team with a 5-0 win.
Dinamo will have first honors of traveling and will play in Luxembourg at Stade Émile Mayrisch on June 13 with the return leg to be played at Maksimir on June 20.
Croatia’s Europa League contenders lucked out as well with NK Lokomotiva facing Welsh club AUK Broughton FC.
The “Wingmakers”, as they are sometimes called, finished in the third place in the Welsh Premier League.
The Lokosi will have first honors of traveling and will play the Welsh Wingmakers at the “Airfield” where the club calls home. The Airfield has a maximum capacity of 1,600 with only 500 of those being seated.
The first match will take place on July 2 with the return leg taking place on July 9. The winners of the match up will face Greece’s PAOK FC, which is newly run by Igor Tudor.
HNK Rijeka will have to wait to know for sure who their opponent is, but it’s narrowed down to the winners of Macedonia’s FK Shkendija or Scotland’s Aberdeen FC.
Hajduk finds itself at odds with Estonian side JK Sillamae Kalev who came in second in the Meistriliiga. Sillamae play their matches at Sillame Kalevi Staadion, which has a capacity of 800.
Barring advancement in the tournament, Hajduk will play the winner of Iceland’s Vikingur Reykjavik and Slovenia’s FC Koper
Other interesting draws include HSK Zrijnski Mostar vs Armenia’s FC Shirak, Crvena Zvezda vs FA Kairat Almaty and FK Partizan vs FC Dila Gori.

am delighted with the data I’ve just obtained. Thanks a lot!
Damn, you are correct. This fucker even responds.
Lol Ostojic even replied in the comments section of the article. What a cigan haha.

IVICA MARIJAČIĆ, GLAVNI UREDNIK HRVATSKOG TJEDNIKA:
“Imamo svjedoka koji će potvrditi da je Ranko Ostojić, večer uoći iscrtavanja Kukastog križa na Poljudu, večerao u Splitu s Antom Maslovom, direktorom tvrtke ‘Jadro’, koja je zadužena za održavanje travnjaka! Sve ovo smrdi na kuhinju SDP-a i neku novu komunističku ‘Akciju Stadion’!”
well shit, I can say the same.
I’m not saying 75 or 80K is bad, its not, its great. But just because the organizer says its 100K plus doesn’t mean it is 100K plus.
@Ziva Istina
They said before they started singing that 110,000 people showed up….
Ziva,
I can see it. We were near the front of the stage and making the trek through the crowd and back to the “parking” area easily made it look like 100k at least. Best way to avoid the parking traffic is get black out drunk during the concert, pass out in your car until the 45C wakes you up in the morning and then drive home.
@naprid bili…….be honest here. Can you really tell the difference between 75,000 in Cavogalve or 100,000. I’ve been to Cavoglave and I never bought into the talk of more than 100K being in the selo on that day.
As for shanting za dom spremni at a sporting event with 4 or 5 guys; it is pathetic and jadno. Should only be done with a large crowd. You know how we feel when we see serbs fans on tv flashing the three fingers and wearing their cetnik kapa; same thing with a few guys chanting za dom spremni.
Divac would do one of two things: he would laugh and do nothing or he would use the opportunity and speak with the local media on how a bunch of idiots tried ruining the game with a “fascist” chant. It would be a no win situation.
Also ask that German fuck if he is from Western or Eastern Germany. If he is western then he has no right to talk. He didn’t have to live under decades of communism flith. He had freedom to learn and develop. Western Europe also had massive US aid while Eastern Europe was sold out to Stalin. Western Europe rebulit into a modern strong country. However, what is it now? A vassal of muslim invasions. Weak and old.
@Ziva Istina
The U was about re-establishing the Croatian state. To do so our borders needed to be established and our people united, The Serbs were and are the obstacle to that. Serb nationalists were determined to colonize Croatia. They first tried with soft power and deceit and then war. We have a right to our nation and we refuse to be anyones colony anymore. Tell the German that his people are on the path to extinction. Even after they surrendered we still fired our guns and took the war underground.
Big problem in Cavoglave was the parking and that makes anyone who even lives close by have to wait hours just to get there. Miles after miles of cars. Bumper to bumper. Hell, if you walk you’ll get there faster.
I was at Cavoglave last year, 110,000 people came and it was great. Newspapers said “around 60,000-80,000” and that’s a joke. I’ll be going this year as well in Knin. I guess its better this way because more people will show up and it won’t take forever to get there.
@ Allen
This is your time Brate!
You have earned it.
Let’s pray Barca get bounced today and Hezonja represents tomorrow at Barclays.
Dude will be in beast mode. Please support him in coming correct with his intentions to express illmatic talents in A.
I would take Hezonja from 3 on down.
Curious to see who has the stones to take him.
Mladen Grdovic on North American tour in october. Anyone intersted?
I still don’t know why Sacramento has a team. It would be nice to get a za dom spremni going in sac town. Just to see Vlade’s reaction would be priceless. I ran into that clown at JFK a few years back. No shame in that guy’s game.
Hezonja is going to Detroit. Shithole of America.
I’m worried about my Lakers. Okafor? Latvia? Russel? or trade for Cousins? I prefer a trade for cousins. Okafor will be a bust.
I’m guessing he goes to Detroit at number 8.
Sacramento has the Indian owner’s daughter at the games looks like an NBA Groupie.
ahh, yea if you don’t like hot weather then not a place for you, its hot as hell during the summer. If you have ever been to that damn cro festa there in june, its always damn hot, real hot.
I disagree. I had a conference there about three weeks ago and it was 97 at 9am…and the heat is trapped. Couldn’t pay me to live there.
Its not that bad, cheaper then the Bay Area and closer to tahoe
I hate Sacramento. It’s a shithole, even if he plays there.
He is young. He will learn.
I wonder if whatever team drafts him if they week ask or demand that he not play Eurobasket
u see that article ziva, he has a tailored boss suit waiting, i was like come on hezonja, ur gonna be a millionaire, gotta go with canali, brioni, zegna, armani, step ur game up hezonja.
The kid from King’s Landing may actually end up on the Kings.
That team is a mess though.
Hopefully wherever Hezonja goes, he plays. The NBA is all about developing youth with undeserved minutes.
Its not about hezonja responding, its about divac and that bullshit documentary and those 3 fingers he liked to throw up and the flag incident and yada yada yada, this would be for him a big middle finger and za dom spremni for divac.
He will be in NYC if Barca lose tomorrow.
I doubt Hezonja would even respond to such a chant. He won’t go at 3. Probably 6, doesn’t slip past 8.
@Denis,
Although i did make fun of wearing the croatian jersey to warriors game for australian bench warmer andrew bogut, who played awful down the stretch. If hezonja goes to sacrament, we would need to have a croatia night sac kings, could u imagine the look on divac’s face, especially with some ZA DOM SPREMNI chants, PRICELESS.
@Jarac,
Allen will have something up later tonight or tomorrow. The NBA approved us for media credentials for the NBA draft. Looking forward to see what Allen can do.
The serbs want hezonja, with the nba draft so close where is the article? Hezonja predicted to go top 10 possibly at #3.
http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2502765-meet-nba-draft-prospect-mario-hezonja-europes-kobe-bryant-wannabe
I remember having it out with a cedo one day a few years back. He was arguing that everything we saw regarding Serbs attacking Croats was propaganda and that Croats paid PR firms to portray the war in a certain way to make the Serbs look bad….haha…what a dumb fuck he was and like I said in an earlier post, Serbs never accept any wrongdoing and they always twist history!
Although I’ve met some good Serb people I cannot be acquaintances or friendly on more than a hi and bye basis, as soon as the topic comes up…they are like fucking squirrel bait!
Speechless?????? Come on, you know me better than that.
I was only sharing a question posed to me.
Are you surprised the media is covering it that way it is. Liberals control the media and control the narrative. The commies and Serbs do a good job of controlling the narrative and we don’t.
Very good comeback Doktor Prle. The usually quick-witted Ziva is probably speechless right now, lol.
In other news, man, I was checking my Croatian news feed today (from Google). Just TONS of fascism hysteria articles that are being written by Serbs and picked up by sites like Yahoo and Fox News. Then there was that comment by Vulin made against Stepinac while giving a speech in Croatia. Then more from B92 and other Serbian sites. It’s nuts.
Humans and the world are fucked!
Listen to our Pope people!
Here come živa’s clones. Hilarious. LOL
@Ziva that’s a pretty solid analogy and pretty bang on.
What is the difference between southerners who cling to the confederate flag and Yugoslavs who cling to the pentagram and to a failed yugoslav and communist ideology, is the counter question you should have posed to your imaginary freund from Deutschland.
Had lunch today with a German guy who now lives in the US and this dude follows world affairs tightly.
He asked me the following: What is the difference between the people in the south in the USA who love their confederate flag and the people in the Cro who live their Ustase. According to him, they both represent a failed ideology and were on the losing end of history. Celebrating either one is strange in his opinion.
Armada, I think they enjoy life more than we do but we have more opportunities and better infrastructure and how Ante says….thystem!!!
@ Slavonac
The grass is always greener dude. Granted, we have it better than Croatia here in N. America, but I’m sure the folks in the domovina think we just print money over here and everything is swell – but Canada/USA have a ton of issues, foreign and domestic going on.
Sometimes it is better to not be in tune with what is taking place in Cro.
It just might be better to think everyhting is perfect, as so many of the diaspora do, when they visit for a few weeks in the summer time.
I guess I keep saying I’m shocked because of how we see things from the outside looking in but in the case of their politics, it may not be a shock at all and I am just not in touch with the realities of living in Croatia.
@Slavonac….not really shocking, at least not to me. There is still that core commie element. Plus, it doesn’t help that most of the professors in the colleges are products of the commie system. The urban centers is where the SDP/commies tend to get their votes.
There are definitely purgeri and old school zagrepcani still out there but in the minority. I would say there are a lot of hercegovci but their kids are basically ZG and have assimilated. You can already see it. I remember right after the war, you couldn’t hear kaj in Zagreb if you wanted to. Now, it’s everywhere.
are there any purgeri left in ZG? or is it jsut all hercegovici now?
approximately 50% of ZG voted for Josipovic over Kitarovic…kinda shocking if you ask me!
Even if you do that, they’ll move to Zagreb
“the best thing that can happen is that Croatia finally get some leadership and stop looking backwards and keep going forwards.”
that’s the key right there
that and maybe reopening the foibe in Istra and throwing all the serb/jugo/musliman/albanci trash from Istra/Rijeka in there and then covering them back up.
Still no arrests for the events at Poljud…
People always vote for their wallets. The war happened and their lives never improved enough. Dalmatia never became the new Monaco. So they vote for the polticians that convince them that they understand their situation and offer free beans. Communist scum.
http://dalje.com/en-croatia/from-croatian-statehood-day-ceremony-to-beans/267412
the best thing that can happen is that Croatia finally get some leadership and stop looking backwards and keep going forwards. at the moment, we are still at a stand-still, the country just reported is has finally come out of the recession they’ve been in for the past 7 years while in the meantime, according to an article I read a few months ago…30,000 people left Croatia last year, they are treating veterans like sub-humans, the amount of corruption in the government and amount of Serb and Yugo representation in the government is what scares me the most….think about it for a second…those people got voted in!
The Serbs will never rest until they make us care for them again. They are in eternal need of having someone wipe their behinds. Slavic superstitious peasants. We should take Hungary’s idea and build a long wall.
in particular, (sorry for going backwards in history) and now that we’re talking about Knin. I’ve had a few discussions about that situation in Krajina and although even Milosevic himself criticized Serbs for abandoning it and running like “rabbits” as he said. also, their version of how they ended up in that region and how they had a right to self proclaim it from Croatia, calling it Republic of Serb Krajina, this really makes my stomach turn and it also makes me wonder, how the fuck can a population of people be so damn stupid/ignorant. to this very day, they try to justify the attempt to own Krajina and the story of “Oluja” in their version is really quite funny….
here is something funny I read a long time ago, from a website I used to frequent….I then Googled this comment and found it on a Serbian web page just to make sure this wasn’t made up!
Milošević: Molim vas, 6 hiljada Hrvata je branilo Vukovar pola godine; napadala je cela Prva armija, vazduhoplovstvo, čudo, sva sila koju je imala JNA, a oni nisu odbranili Knin, kojem se može prići samo iz tri pravca; nisu ga mogli braniti ni 12 sati!?
Oni ga nisu branili, jer po svim izveštajima koje smo dobili od policajaca, građana i ostalih, čim je prestala artiljerijska priprema u sedam uveče, oni su naredili – bežaniju! Prema tome, tu nije bilo nikakvog otpora niti je bilo borbenog dodira sa hrvatskim snagama. (…) – Tamo je palo naređenje da svi izađu iz Krajine istog dana, čak bez stvorenog kontakta sa hrvatskom vojskom na najvećem delu fronta. Da smo istog tog dana napravili idiotsku glupost da im pomognemo, ko bi to stigao do Knina do večeri da im pomogne?! Pa, tamo ne bi moglo da se stigne od njihovih kolona kojima su zakrčili sve putove u bežaniji zajedno sa stanovništvom. (…) Pitanje je ko je, zaista, doneo odluku da krajiško rukovodstvo napusti Krajinu? Takva odluka, kada su imali sve uslove da se brane, izazvala je egzodus. Sada to treba da bude razlog da Jugoslavija jurne tamo da brani te teritorije, sa kojih su oni utekli kao zečevi?
I always get a good laugh from serbs how they are able to twist everything.
Serbs are the biggest liars on earth and right up there with Israel…I can’t even imagine how they live life, believing their own version of history and even the current situation where they twist and manipulate every damn event/story that comes out about their politics.
Serbs depict any loss of entitlement as genocide. It was one of the main reasons – if not the THE reason – that they went to war in the ’90s.
Serbs have a serious issue with entitlement.
There has been a surge of Yugoslav and Serbian media attacks (what else is new?) in the last couple of months. That’s about it.
There is no far-right in Croatia. At least not as compared to other European nations.
That article is a nasty piece of propaganda and is written from a Greater-Serbian, pro-Yugoslav perspective (duhh!).
The authors are Dusan Stojanovic and Darko Bandic. Both of whom are Serbs.
Many of the lies repeated in the article are recycled; mixed with a few new ones that are pretty nasty.
Not the worst I’ve seen, but the level of egregiousness is telling of the mood among Serbs and Yugoslavs. They seem to be highly worried.
Not because there is a looming far-right threat. They are shitting bricks because they will be losing power in Croatia very soon.
http://www.foxnews.com/world/2015/06/23/far-right-surges-in-croatia-as-economy-struggles-and-dreams-eu-riches-fade/
HNK Hajduk Split and HSK Zrinjski Mostar always crash out early in the Europa League Qualifying. GNK Dinamo Zagreb and HNK Rijeka are our only hopes for group stage action.
Since we are on politics. …….anyone catch Barbie Hrvatska today and her comments. No surprise.
I can’t wait for it. If you haven’t been to Cavoglave and seen that wonderment then you haven’t really been to Croatia. 120,000 last year.
Good move by machine gun Thompson with Knin. This entire two day celebration of Oluja in Knin and ZG is just more stupidity. I understand why Milanovic wants it in ZG; he won’t be booed and jeered in ZG like he would in Knin.
Cavoglave in Knin this year. Should be very interesting.
Idemo,
July 16th they will decide.
Any news on point deductions?
@Ganga – could not have said it better myself. Love that club. My Mom is from Mostar.
Cheer for Zrinjski Mostar. The one true remaining Croatian football outfit.
I feel sorry for you. Get help.
@ rijeka
sorry pal, you got the wrong guy
doesn’t get more “za dom …. spremni” than me. i wear my tracksuit, chain with the grb, dres with the name “Bog i Hrvati” on the back, smoking my Marlboros, blasting Thompson from my car and butchering drink orders in the domovina during the summer.
#legit
@ Naprid Bili
ain’t that the truth though…
at least you have a clue as to whats going on, people on here who go on and on about “Fiume”, “Reka is Italian” bla bla bla don’t know what’s really going on in the country….
man, I love Rijeka but we might as well call it Malo Beograd nowadays – I really don’t have a “comeback” for that one
@Ziva Istina
Serbs already attend Rijeka matches, they’re called Armada.
Nobody cares about Lokomotiva. That is my point. More serbs would attend.
Look at how many serbs were in the stands when Cedevita and Zvezda played in the basketball finals. And Cedevita has more of a fan base. Not much of one, but more than what Lokomotiva has.
Imagine BBB or Torcida in beosmrad. That would be a dream gostovanje
@Ziva
Don’t start with your BS, pleeeeeeeeeease.
We are trying to unite. No need for branding.
Nobody dislikes Lokomotiva. I’m sure people would go and support them just to cheer against whatever Serb team they play.
I wouldn’t mind seeing those matches, but there would be issues with away fans. I’m sure both clubs would agree to not having away fans attend, but it would be interesting in today’s age to see one of the Cro teams host a match.
Nobody would care about Lokomotiva and there would easily be more serbs in ZG watching that match. I think there would be a decent number (couple of hundred) of serb fans attending matches against Rijeka, jadan i mali hajduk and Europski dinamo. They are already in the country on vacation and could easli find their way in.
I would personally love to see one of the HNL teams go up against another former Jugo team. They’re all going to get advance from this round, so there are chances they could play each other. Just think of them as potential opponents. I’m not “updating” on them.
I wonder how many on here had parents and family members who rooted for Jugo before 1990.
1990 World Cup being a prime example.
^^^^
including you
@ Colin
That’s fair. Plus all the jugos on this site will I’m sure cheer them on.
I agree with Armada87
No need for update on any Serb teams. At least until we become one Balkan super league- disgusting-
Come on Colin-
@Armada – So you can watch them crash and burn?
and why would we care who CZ plays?
You sure FC Koper isn’t from Slovenia and not Sweden?
