Hrvati from around the world assembled in halls, homes, hotels, and stadiums to watch a match that will be forever emblazoned in the history of Croatia and Serbia. We’ve met in the waterpolo pools and handball courts, but tonight was the night to show who was the best at the most important sport in Europe.
Stimac surprised many with a very attack minded lineup, going with Kovacic, instead of adding Vukojevic or Badelj to shore up the space between the defense and the midfield. The start of the game showed each side’s nerves as the ball was being ballooned around the pitch, and no team really took to possession. Hrvatska was able to settle down and began to dominate possession, putting the ball through the feet of Rakitic and Modric who had excellent games. In the 23rd minute, Stimac’s tactics paid off when the shaky Serbian defense gave up a gift off a free kick. Mandzukic tipped the ball to Rakitic, Rakitic to Olic, and Olic threaded it through two defenders to get to Mandzo for the finish. The stadium erupted and Hrvatska was up 1-0. Hrvatska was not done, as Srna won a free kick 15 yards outside of the area and delivered a beautiful ball into the area. Serbia showed the holes in their defense and let a ball get through a wall of defenders and onto a streaking Olic, who tapped the ball in with his shoulder. Hrvatska went 2-0 into half, and looked to be a much better team. The 2nd half brought a slightly different story, as the Hrvati backed off the gas pedal and almost let two goals get by them. Luckily, Stipe Pletikosa was up to the task and made save after beautiful save to keep the Serbians at bay.
The game, backed with so much turmoil, came without much incident and there weren’t many flares to be seen. Both sides played a respectful game, and there was more hand shaking then any type of anonymity on the pitch. The final stats show
Shots (on target): Hrvatska 9(5) – Serbia 10(4)
Tackles: Hrvatska 35 – Serbia 22
Fouls: Hrvatska 21 – Serbia 28
Possesion: Hrvatska 46 – Serbia 54
Man of the match (for me)- Olic with a goal and an assist, and for running from Hrvatska to the United States. Stari has still got it.
Honorable mentions: Kovacic- for an 18 year old you couldn’t have asked for more from the kid. Composure, vision, and all around grit.
Pletikosa- 4 amazing saves to keep a clean sheet
Rakitic & Modric- Controlled the entire tempo of the game, and lead the team to victory.
Anthem
Mandžukić goal makes it 1-0
Ivica Olić doubles up the Serbs
Bad game or not, we still won.
Congratulations to you guys who said Stimac is the greatest coach in Croatia’s history. We need our credible posters back because most of you guys are a joke.
just finished watching the first half of this game and the serbs were so beaten down. such pussies. easy to kill unarmed civilians huh?
@anon belgium have already won away to macedonia
Or just wait for the serb fans to do something stupid during their game against us in beograd, so the referee could call of the game and give us an automatic 3-0 win.
What we need is to put in like 4 or 5 against Wales. Make up our goal difference vs. Belgium.
the race for first is still wide open, that’s for sure. if we have to fight through the playoffs, let’s hope that they seed the draw (as they did for the euro 2012 playoffs). otherwise, there could be some dangerous, yet entertaining, playoff match-ups.
tomorrow should be fine. aaron ramsey is suspended with a red and bale is not up to 100% (even though the press claims he is. he has been ill and couldn’t even come out for the second half against scotland). we handled things fine the first time against wales…..overconfidence is the only thing that will derail our chances this time around. as long as stimac is guarding against that, we should get the 3 points….let’s hope he is.
we all remember the egg we laid in georgia during euro 2012 qualifying, losing 1-0 after georgia didn’t have a shot all game. a motivated and focused vatreni should be able to avoid that…..i hope
Belgium can definitely drop points away at Macedonia, MAYBE Serbia can pull off a tie in Brussels. Even Wales could pull out a tie against them. And I think we could beat them at home…
That said, we could easily drop points to Belgium, Serbia, and even Wales if Bale decides to bring his scoring boots.
First place is still wayyyy up in the air. And I’d hate to end up in a playoff against the likes of Sweden, Portugal, Spain, France, or even Romania and Greece. All of whom are in second place at the moment.
Sinisa Mihajlovic you gypsy shit now go back to your Serbia.

@Anonymous
I don’t think it’s on TV, but it should be on ESPN3. If not, we’ll post some feeds for everyone.
If I had a choice of any international coach that wasn’t Croatian, the only guy I would go with is Mourinho. Sure he gives Modric spotty chances, but he’s the best coach in the world right now.
Anybody know if the Croatia/Wales game is on TV? I dont see it on espn3
just got back from traveling in asia for two weeks and had to do my best to avoid hearing any news of the game before watching it today. great win! i especially enjoyed watching the players rock out to veceras je nasa festa in the post game celebration. you could tell that as much as many tried to play this off as just another game, it was far from that for the players as well. final note, kovacic looked great! for a seemingly nice and humble kid, the kid has some guts attacking forward whenever he got the ball. i just fear someone will eventually break his leg as he plays slalom around defenders
Can someone please take that cunt flag off of the site? I am sick of looking at it!

My 2 cents
Mandžukić….Olić…………..
…Rakitić…….Modrić……Kovačić…….Srna
Strinić…….Schildenfeld….Ćorluka……..Vida
……………….Pletikosa…………………..
Who Knows what line up Stimac will play he not like Bilic hes so unpredictable.
The only foreign coach I would be interested in is Lous Van Gaal. It will never happen.
I wouldn’t want Redknapp, but he probably wouldn’t be half bad.
PROMJENE ZA WALES Izlaze Kranjčar i Šimunić, Vida i Vukojević kreću od prve minute
http://is.gd/wv6LAK
If Sertic is not good enough to play for France, then he is certainly not good enough to play for Croatia.
We don’t need to go with with a non Croat for coach. We have plenty of talent and forget redhknapp. Awful coach who had good Croatian talent (4 players) on his roster but let therm most of them ride the bench.
@CroatHrvat
I totally agree with you.
@19Miro50
Hrvatska was sertic’s second option. He tried to go to France first but never made it so now he’s turning to us. I would never want him on our team regardless of his roots.
Without Simunic and Kranjcar I would like to see Lovren take Simunic’s spot, Vida drop to right back and Srna take right mid with Rakitic going over to left mid.
Šimunić pod upitnikom za Wales, Mateo Pavlović dobio poziv
http://is.gd/sdRGuk
wasnt asanovic’s nickname the footballing professor when he played in the late 90s ? i noticed him on the staff in earlier years dunno what the story is with him.. u raise a good point about the moolah i didnt really think about that.. i was more interested in the actual sentiment of people on this side to having a foreign coach more than the pragmatism u have outlined with such acuity ! : )
Re: our coaches always being Croatian…
I don’t mind it at all. It’s not hard to coach a team that has a factory of talented midfield players at its disposal, we really just need a motivator. Having a quality coach has a higher impact when you’re forced to put together less talented role players and make it work like Otto Rehhagel did in Greece. Besides, the HNS would have to pay through the nose to get a quality foreign coach, and they won’t take that financial risk especially since a mediocre coach could have this team qualify anyway.
Serbia tried to do something like this with Javier Clemente and it blew up in their face. Turkey paid through the nose for Guus Hiddink and they still didn’t qualify. Bulgaria with Lothar Mattaus, Poland with Beenhakker, and other countries tried to go the foreign route. It makes little difference unless you go with Mourinho-caliber coach.
But it’s all situational. I see some coaches work wonders at National Team level, but absolutely suck with club teams and vice versa. It’s too much of a risk to bring in some non-Croatian speaking coach and see if they can motivate and connect with our team.
I think we have some decent footballing minds with some of our former players. We’ll see how the Kovac brothers do. I could also see Boksic being the next coach too. Maybe Dado Prso in the future. Who knows.
But if we go with a non-Croat coach, I say we give it to Harry Redknapp. He has a hard on for Croatian players, and he’d probably take a pay cut to coach Cro. His career is taking a dive, so he’d love this opportunity to ressurect his career, lol.
Croats tend to be late bloomers, so it’s good to see our U17s do so well against the two best youth nations in Europe (France and Spain). It will only get better. Josip Basic and Alen Halilovic are future starts, plus there’s a lot of hype around that Marko Dabro kid (a striker, finally).
Kovacic impressed the hell out of me yesterday. Radosevic will be pretty a solid future DM for us too. Good to see that we have a serious midfield core of Radosevic, Kovacic, Halilovic, and Basic for our future down the road (assuming Halilovic picks us).
IF you guys have and XBOX you HAVE to download the ESPN app. I’m watching the replay right now.
And yes I was dragging ass today, had to go dog straining, left at 7am and just got back 15 minutes ago. But I gotta watch that game again and take another look before I get to excited and starting drinking again.
Ja se kladim za Hrvatsku protiv belgije. Ja ne mislim da ce Belgija moci oporavit Hrvatski naped pogotovo u Zagrebu. Ne mislim da njima pase kako se igra nas futbal
pletikosa, strinic, lovren simunic, vida, corluka e vuckojevic, rakitic, modric, mandzukic e eduardo
time ideal selection croatian?
I always thought Sinisa Mihajlovic was an average player. He was a phenomenal free kick specialist!! Just unreal…
But, he was a defensive liability and would get torn to shreds at the back.
just become someone was a great player doesn’t mean he will be a good coach……
case in point, Sinisa Mihajlovic.
boban has always said he would never get into coaching
BTW: was anyone else dragging their ass around today.. Feelinthirsty and sore in the glava? But still smiling like a mother f’r! What’s up with Ante and the decki in Vegas ?.
We have the Kovac brothers in charge of the Under 21’s, their probably on the waiting list too
Sometimes I read b92 news which is a Serb news site… It’s outrageously biased…. but sometimes more entertaining than the regular news.. it’s comments section is generally full of k.albs and Serbs going toe to toe over Kosovo….
Obviously a lot o’ Serbs are reading this site based on some recent comments…
Random observation of the day-if I recall correctly, the last poll showed about 19% picking Serbia to win. The current poll shows roughly the same percentage picking Wales to win…..so either this site has a strange Serb following or there are some Croatian fans really lacking confidence in our team.
Croatian coaches today about 65 percent or more the 96 and 98 team others include Prso,Kovac braca,
Bilic was the ‘cool’ coach with the rock star thing haha… I like the guy, but know others didn’t dig him as much….
Boksic may be the next coach
Having a non Croat as coach is somewhere we dont need to go as we seem to have a decent coaching pipeline… What about boban, prosenecki, what other Croat coaches are there?
IMO i think international football lost its meaning it should have same nationality coaches players everything.
@ Iggy
I’ve been reading some of the things you’ve been posting over the last few days. I think you need to behave yourself.
@anon.. that BBC article is fucking horseshit, and thats all they have to say about it. Complete fucking cunts.
The coaching question got me interested as to how people would feel about have a non-croat coach? have we ever had this before, talking about national team here? I’m not suggesting we do but just wondering what people would think/feel about that
great news for the kidlets !
@19Miro50 Thanks Man!
@ williams
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FkKRgbs2fMI
heres the first half
Also what with the serbs saying the atmosphere was not a fiery as they expected what did they want us to burn serb flags like they did Mother fucker forgot that we were under stricked rules not to make any problems and if HNS let in the real fans that atmosphere whould have been better IMo when we play in beograd they will boo us burn flare and do serb tactics beacuse their national team sucks and they will never go consecutive tournaments anyway agree?
Hi guys!
where can i watch this game again? (or download)
thanks!
Grgo Sertic got his Croatian passport today he can play for Croatia this doesnt bother me beacuse he is croatian roots.
Niko Krancjar man this guy is a waste of talent weight watchers wants you LOL De daj se Cico jr.
Niko kranjcar will miss clash against wales due to ligament damage
These Belgies are really a pain in the arse. Right now their +3 on us in terms of goal differential.
Sure we can beat Wales. But the question is by how much? We really need to beat our opponents by a lot if we are going to overtake Belgium this Spring. Who I actually think are better than Portugal, England, and France. So we didn’t get a pushover second seed.
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2297502/Vibrating-balls-fixed-Champions-League-draw–VIDEO.html
Here is more video and another article on this subject.
Enjoy
I’ve been quiet about match fixing and sports corruption for a while but I have to bring this up. Take a look at this and be amazed.
Ever wonder how we got drawn with Serbia? How we were so unlucky to be drawn in the group of death in the last Euros and we had bad luck again and got England in our group a second time in the WC qualifiers despite being seeded. Are all these draws really the luck of the draw or is something else going on here?
A former Turkish ref shows all how these “draws” are really done.

I hate the Brits…. Serb lovers..
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-21906463
Croatia dominated the game. Serbia had two good chances all game. Kovacic played really well. Stimac has
done very well taking over from Bilic. The best coach in Croatian history is Tomislav Ivic. He was Mourinho before Mourinho. Won multiple league and European titles with many different teams. The best National team coach is probably Slaven Bilic then Ciro Blazevic….Stimac has had a good start to his National team career but time will tell. Slaven gets a lot of credit in that he rebuilt the team and left it at a very high level. Both tournaments he qualified the team played really well.
Not to mention, Blazevic also led Croatia to the Quarterfinals in Euro ’96. He is our best national team coach so far.
U-17 side has been impressive, and the future looks bright for Croatian football. Seeing Halilovic winning and developing bonds with his U-17 teammates, leads me to believe he will pick Croatia. Which will pay far greater dividends down the road, as Bosnian youth teams aren’t as good.
Stimac knew what he is doing when he started Radosevic and Kovacic in those crucial games. It takes a certain type a coach, to take a young player, mold him, and turn him into a lion. And lions they were…
Contrast that to Serbia’s young players who where clueless. For those that say if Serbia had better strikers it would have been close. Really? Serbia was totally outplayed. Rakitic, Srna, Modric were running circles around the Serbs.
The only time Serbia looking threatening, is when Croatia started pulling attackers and adding defenders. The Serbs had more of the ball and credit to our defense and Pletikosa who were impeccable. Stipe totally had that Kolorav rebound covered–even Suarez wouldn’t have scored that.
Hvala Mishko i CroatHrvat!
Great news about the U17.
things are looking very bright for the future of our national team. Quality 18 years old in radosevic & Kovacic and now a bunch of kids beating traditional European powerhouse teams.
@Horvat……….Ivic is the greatest croatian coach of all time and might be one of the ten greatest coaches of all time in soccer. So, he is one. Ciro, based on 3rd in the 98 WC is better. Have to top that result to be considered better. So, those are two coaches right there.
Getting the head coaching job for Cro is corrupt stuff. That is why Stimac got it. For our benefit, it is working out right now. So, advantage Stimac.
If we just base Stimac on his tenure as coach 9and remove the criminal element) of the repka, then he gets an A so far. Not too many coaches would start an 18 year old on the road in a qualifer (Radosevic) and then another 18 year old (Kovacic) against Serbia.
Great news about the U-17 team…….
I think as a decision nears closer for Halilovic to decide if it will be Cro or BiH, one thing I have overlooked is how good his generation could be. Beating historical powerhouses at this level in Spain and France is impressive. Who knows, if this team is really, really good, it would be tougher to halilovic to leave them for BiH. BiH may have a very good senior squad now, but their youth teams are terrible.
Also, for any of you who want a good laugh, go on some of the serb news sites. Major meltdown mode…….there are fears of violence in Novi Sad for their game on Tuesday. Very comical.
Ivan,
I said Stimac COULD be ONE of the best coaches Cro has ever had. Not because I think he’s a great coach, but because Cro has never had good coaches like some other countries (ex; Italy, England, Holand, Germany). Why is that so hard to believe?
If that statement is so outrageous, name two coaches Cro has ever had that are clearly FAR better than Stimac and company. Name one person today would CLEARLY, without a doubt, be better than Stimac. I BET YOU WON’T EVEN ANSWER THESE TWO QUESTIONS!
Yesterday’s win was huge for our team and our people. However, a win in Beograd would be even better!
Laknat go fuck your halilovic.
Simunic and kranjcar rule.
sretno momcciiii!!! BIH je uz vas!!!
so only 80 minutes ?
what fucking happen with 45 minutes common rules of Football >< `1-0 croatia wins ..
There we have it. Basic, Halilovic and co. have knocked out Spain and France from the EURO U-17 tournament. Beating Spain 3-2 and France 1-0, Croatia have won the group and will advance to the final stage regardless of what happens in their final game against Belgium.
Well, I hope for fans who see this game as something symoblic for revenge, vengance, squishing the other guys, I hope you got your validation.
I thought it was nice how the teams treated each other and how they walked out with the children was pretty classy. Hopefully peace and kindness starts to dominant ideology and violence and vengence start to disappear. It is a bit sad that fans have to be banned from attending games, takes away from the atmosphere.
Our boys worked hard and thats why they won. I wouldn’t call either goal a classic and if the serbs had a solid striker or two I think the game would have been a lot closer. Pletikosa was awesome!
My there stars;
1. Olic
2. Pletikosa
3. Modric
I know Mandzukic scored however I thought he looked a bit slow and not as aggressive has he has been in the past.
After defeating Spain a few days ago, Halilovic and co. are leading France 1-0 at half time.
@Ziva
No need to defend your line-up predictions cuz nobody saw Kovacic starting.
Im fucking loving myself some Stimac though.
The only knock on him in his 8 months in charge would be Sammir, but that call comes from above.
Also a lot of people are talking about the respectful camaraderie between the players, but i’m pretty fucking sure there were no jerseys being exchanged afterwards 🙂
What a fucking night! I puked myself fucking dry, and my esophagus is fucked!
Worth every last dry-heave!
My only prediction, other than us winning, was Sammir would never see the pitch. Thank god I was right on that.
They wouldn’t agitate our fans in a game like this!
Fucking Simunic and Kranjcar must go out from Squad
and put the God of Halilovic !!
Anyone got an streams for Croatia U17 v France U17? Kicked off 5 minutes ago…

Hvala
everyone relax a little over stimac, fukn best coach we ever had my ass, theres some dumb cunts on thi site I tell you, Say that when we qualify, I thought hes dec to put on vida was terrible, the serbs killed us after that, we could not hold posession at home. I rekon wales will beat us , mark my words. Igor is a bit too cocky. Attack is the best defence, Fuck this extra def and bunker, its not our style, and more thing, IGOR you arrogant fuk, saying this squad is better than 98, Ubi se
Fucking Kranjcar !!
he must subs by the God of Halilovic
>Croatia
>civilized
pick one
I tried to explain to someone today that this win over Serbia….to Croatian hearts, it was bigger than any Superbowl, bigger than winning the world series of baseball in the 7th game…bigger than winning any Stanley Cup.
This was a historic win that will now go down in history as being a victory for Croatia in the meeting of the 2 nations first ever senior football team.
As a football fan, I can truely die a happy man having seen the game.
The only thing that would top this for me now would be to see Croatia win a Euro or World Cup.
So Proud to be a Croatian-American Today , & Everyday ! Bog , Hrvati , Hajduk , i HNS !!!
Bog I Hrvati
Argentina v Venezuela. The last goal by Messi was a clear off-side. The whole thing is rigged kiddos. Don’t be surprised if we get Spained again. Hold on to your hat and don’t your hopes up.
Good job Croaziaaaaaa!
@Horvat, I think they seemed rushed at times, trying to push forward and get the goals. Second half they relaxed more and just controlled the pace.
I think Stimac could be one of the best coaches Cro has ever had. He is athoritarian and disciplinarian. However, it seems that Cro is not as good at holding onto the ball as they were with Bilic. It seems like they lose a lot of balls and make more mistakes.
Jarac thats not true
there were 11 bad players wearing white !
only bad player out there today was vida
i think the refs just always favour the favourites.. cos they dont wanna be the ref where a big team lost to a smaller team.. thats why u get cunts like the ref for the spain – cro game in euro2012.. u really have to be flykicked in the head by a spaniard in their box to get a penalty, anything less wont suffice cos refs are dumb cunts.. even if they try to be equal subconsciously they will always favour bigger teams
BTW I thought that Belgium look like crap, if it wasn’t for the ref it would have been a draw.
Is it me or does it seem like the more multicult you country is the better the decisions are?
.
corluka got soft since leaving the spurs. he should drink a fucking coffee sometimes.
Earth to Ante K. Where r U ?
Ante is still responding to text messages that don’t look like this “aklsdf;kha g;hiohet”…so things can’t be that bad. Yet
great result today…Kovacic in five years will be incredible!
Serbia and Slovenia just clinched qualification for WC Group Couch. 🙂
For our boys in Vegas, their probably doing a reboot of the “The Hangover”

Yo, yo, yo …. MATEO!
Stimac got +1 in my book. That was a ballsey move.
He may be the difference against Belgium in Zagreb.
A solid midfield just got younger and faster.
Big time first half from our boys, with everything on the line.
+2 that Stimac knows how important 3 points are against Wales.
Serbia and Slovenia fighting for 5th place in the FYR league.
Jelavic needs a half Tuesday and please throw in a quick winger to give some space for the spine to express itself.
I’m hoping Olic still has gas in his tank for WC ’14.
He is the ideal Forward to play off our classic Striker, Mandzukic. Ola raw physical power, work-rate, and ability to run at the opposing defense like a loaded freight train is unmatched. We sure could have used him in Euro ’12.
We just don’t have this type of Forward to replace him. Jelavic and Eduardo, even with their particular attributes, are not good enough.
Iggy partys like no one . Did U sleep yet ? Party on Dude !

and why would they need wifi dont they have 3g etc god i know my phone can actually work and shit without wifi altho to be fair maybe the guys in vegas are partying and getting herpes in a parking lot somewhere
haha maybe in reasonable quantities but it doesnt make your liver strong i thoroughly expect a cirrhotic death before im 40 but who cares at least i lived to see us crush serbia that is one of the things you would want to see in your lifetime for sure lol
Kvartuc disi ?
@iggy
Vodka makes a man strong.
that reminds me too elvis will i get up at a crazy time to watch the wales game too.. prolly will .. obviously nothing matters as much as today’s smashing of some cunts from cunty belgrade tho
Mishko will you be on the boards on Tuesday?
@Mishko
You Red neck! LOL
@anon stomach is a good coach too.. mine is always asking for more vodka which is the sign of a mastermind coach
@Denis the guys in vegas are all busy having an orgy
with each other
LOL
but yeah ill admit i was a bit skeptical of stimac at the beginning of this campaign.. bilic was overall a good coach even tho i know there was a lot of pressure on him towards the end of his tenure, he also did good things and we were unlucky in both euro 2008 and 2012 to not go further.
i wouldnt rest players against wales cant afford to, they arent that bad we need to play well to win.. tbh we didnt play “fantastic” today.. but that’s prolly a positive tbh i think if we were at our peak we would have won more easily. i know cunts had a couple of chances but so did we
and what was with that moment between the 2 goals when olic tackled a serb in their defensive line, got the ball and we had it in front of goal and then 2 years later it was called back for a free to them for a reason i still dont understand ?
so overall 2-0 was prolly fair really and we can do better.. bit worried about belgium now cos they did well today also, we need to win in wales
Stimac. Damn ipad
Stomach is a good coach. Plenty of idiots on this site who know it all but in reality know shit.
Stimac already started an 18 year old Radosevic away to Belgium, which was a much more difficult match. No surprise to me that he would start Kovacic. Igor is full of surprises–in a good way.
Stimac is a great coach. He is a disciplinarian, and organizes the side well. He already said that he has put behind the Serbia win, and is now concentrating on Wales.
The fans were great today i wish every game was like that Fuck mamic and this cirkus in HNS we should i say that cuz me drunk but once i see sammir agian proljev ceme uvahtit
Thanks miro
Who knows what Stimac has up his sleeve i think you give Jelavic or Eduaro a start for this game who knows Stimac is unpredictable
i dont know if its that bad i read alot from what iread it could have been good if we choose the sweden and swiss way instead we choose american way capitalism, Croatia should be a mini swiss even better too much kommie war profetiers that ruin croatia Life wise i think growing up in Croatia is better than USA imo
Ok so Ramsey and Allen are out, and if Bale is out, then we should be okay.
Look to see Niko and Kovacic start again vs. Wales. Some key players will probably be given a rest, with Vida, Badelj, etc. given the start.
I predicted 2-1 but I will take the 2-0 score.
What a great result! However, a quality side would have scored at least once against us. Kovacic played well in that DM/playmaker role but we need to develop a quality DM if we want to face the big boys down the line. Serbian strikers were terrible!
Olic man of the match, dude set up a goal and scored a goal. He did his job and then some.
KOvacic surprised the hell out of me. He was without a doubt the bright spot of the match. Mateo is our future and his performance showed today that we have a bright future ahead of us.
Have to sober up before work in a little over an hour.
Where are those people that have been criticizing Stimac since day one? I dont agree with his comment that this team is stronger than the golden generation of ’98 but the guy has done a remarkable job so far.
1) to start an 18 year old kid in what will surely be one of the most memorable games of his career? 9 out of 10 managers wouldnt have done it.
2) No Sammir
3) Olic gets the start
4) Lovren on the bench where he belongs for now.
Whats up with the boys in Vegas? no wifi from the suite?
.
@miro
Is it really that bad?? “For a country that is economically on verge of collapse”
I wanted to say svaka cast for 2-0 i want to say Perisic is better than Niko i think Perisic when in for is better choice man we have agood team just confidence and will and strong play with heart for Hrvatska Rakitic Kovacic Modric Perisic looks great mid – field add Kranjcar Badelj Vukojevic Radosevic for a country that is econonmicly on verge of collapse our team looks good just the obrana needs work
Wales = next victim
Another thing I really liked about today …
All Croats on the pitch today (no brazilians).
Tuesday we’ll play Wales. Wales won 1-2 against Scotland today. But some good news: key player Ramsey(Arsenal) received a red card in the last minute of the game so he will probably not play against Croatia while star of the team Gareth Bale only played 45 minutes. A scottish tackle on his ankle made him leave the field. It would be great for us if Bale wouldn’t play Tuesday.
Wales shouldn’t be too tricky on Tuesday.
Joe Allen is out, Ramsay got a red card so he will miss the next game and who knows if bale will even play as he picked up a knock and was subbed out in the first half. Those are their 3 best players right there.
Re today’s game, god damn what a relief. It feels like a colossal weight has been lifted off my shoulders. I thought we would win, but still you never know how a game might play itself out. Would have been nice to pop in another couple of goals in the 2nd half, but we got the win which is the most important thing.
Tonight is going to be fun
: )
I’ll be sporting the colors for the weekend.

Reka Boka da se bolji vise Bale i wales nego srbije,
We could end up in a group if we qualify daj boze nista nije gotovo jos, with Crna Gora or Bosna if we get seeded at WC 2014
I’m so drunk. But 2-0!!!!!!
Bosnia and Montengro top their group today. We might have 3 regional teams in the World Cup.
Wales the comeback kings vs. Scotland. That’s going to be a tricky match away to Wales.

hehe
i said cunty islam
u know what that abbreviates to right ? take the 2 middle letters away
CUNTSLAM
Srna Finally nice cross vinatge Srna from 2002-2008
Ante K. We need photos , & video from Vegas . I want to see what i missed . Thanks for the invite . Have a few Pivos for me . Bog,Hrvati,Hajduk, i HNS !!!
i think that San Marino Malta and etc should be in a pot and that winner of that group goes to playoffs
@Miro, there’s on 24 thousand people in the entire country. But good for them for showing up and giving England 3 points
I think one of our selo teams from Zupanska liga are better than San Marino
My bad im drunk sorry my bad im a glavonja sorrry they changed it that the worst second guy doesnt go to tournament my bad!
My goodness those English fucks are demolishing San Marino 8 – 0
Fala Bogu za Hajdukovac – Mr. Stipe Pleti !!! Napri Nasi !!!
Tomislav Rogic great coaching Pletikosa today was awsome bravo Roga.
i read the wiki theres no mention of that.. its just top 8 2nd place team play off for 4 spots on top of the 9 group winners = 13 qualifiers
now why are bosnia doing so well
OH THATS RIGHT THEY ARE CROATS THAT CONVERTED TO CUNTY ISLAM
Best second place team goes
Top second team goes not teams i am right read the wiki and uefa.com
yeah no auto spot for top 2nd this time mb13 is correct which makes it a bit harder
bosnia smashing greece i see
thats what i said top second goes the other seconds playoff the worst second home.
19Miro50 – you’re incorrect. Top 2nd goes to playoff.
2-0 Belgija nista od prvo mjesto veceras
Macedonia is getting screwed right now.
Top second place goes to brazil and the other seconds go to playoff. worst second go home
Top 2nd place team goes to playoff.
Bottom 2nd place team is out.
13 spots. 9 groups. 9 groups winners then top 8 2nd place teams playoff.
if we defeat belgium at home we should be clear.. like someone said above that game is prolly gonna decide the group winner, we already did a good job by drawing away to them cos they look fairly good
i had a quick read
from what i understand top 2nd place team doesnt get anything this time round.. in fact the bottom 2nd place team misses out altogether, the top 8 (out of 9 groups) 2nd place teams play off
seedings not decided yet
translation = we want to finish 1st for sure
it is yeh
yeah but if top 2nd place team goes thru we might get that spot.. the groups with 1 extra teams remove their 2 results against the bottom team of that group to make it even
i mean we could easily finish this campaign without a loss and still not finish first but we’d prolly be top 2nd place wouldnt we? might go have a read up
btw did i mention serb-smashing is our national sport ?
iggy i watched a movie online a couple weeks ago about september 11 1683. when it was a big win for catholics in austria pushing the muslims back
at the end of the movie the muslim leader was taken to belgrade and executed there…
not a great made movie but an interesting watch cause of the story
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AIh6Wcenw0k
top 8 second place teams play each other right, how does it work, the one with most points would play the one with least? or is it pre determined by groups already?
ya i think we will need that win against belgium as if its still 1-0 and finishes like that for them, they will still be up 2 goals on goals for and against, which i believe is first tie break
yeah i wanted drago cosic so cheers for that
yeah bosnia are good these days it really sucks how islam sweeps thru places and then the converts dont care about nationality anymore they just become of that religion
like someone said in the other thread there’s no such thing as a bosnian that isnt muslim i mean you are bosnian croat, bosnian serb or “bosnian” which just equates to islam really.. actually my dad is from bihac on the border of cro bosnia but u would never tell him he’s anything but 100% croat
Updated the links to have Cosic commentate. The goals sound so much better now.
Guys the atmospher was fantastic froze my ass off we played ok a win is a win modric player of the game pardon my grammer fuckin hammered peace out
our muslim croats dominating Greece.. They look good
Nije me Briga, Belgium look good i think the game in maksmir in october decides group winner both might qualify best second place teams!
yup iggy thats why i said that forgot to sign name. its for sure you hit the nail on the head… cause of the colonization, i suppose those countries raped, pilaged and squashed them fair and square so they can keep some players now
Amazing day fuck all you Chetniks and jugos. Same shit.
@ anon
its funny u say that because the teams that have mostly black players did so because they had slaves before/colonised other countries (holland, portugal, france) whereas countries that didnt do that (italy, cro, etc) dont have black players at all
did i mention i am exceedingly happy today ?????? (^__^)
im so happy.. ahh.. and thats nice cos im normally suicidally depressive but today is actually a wonderful day !
someone should make a youtube with that u2 song wonderful day and show highlights of todays game
@ Mishko it makes you an american NO?
@ Elvis, look up Mishko Novosel VoR and you’ll know who I am.
Mishko I’ve known all this for years. I am glad that more and more people are realizing the truth. Let’s not spoil our win today with talk about the mud butts. PS read about this hate crime that will get no attention. The baby was white and the shooter black.
http://current.com/community/94081316_police-no-motive-in-toddler-shot-in-stroller.htm
is having black guys on your team the modern version of slavery LOL
ah man.. i dunno what to do with myself today.. it’s a day for happy music and celebrations ! What a lovely day it is.. Andd the sun is just coming out nicely in Brisbane fittingly !
SO happy right now (^__^) .. as someone said earlier.. tears in eyes : )
@Miro, I was born in Los Angeles it doesn’t make me a metro sexual liberal faggot.
i noticed a few years ago belgium were becomingly suspiciously multi-racial lol
sucks they scored damn… fuckkkkk cmon macedonia DO US A FAVOUR FFS DO SOMETHING USEFUL FOR ONCE IN YOUR PATHETIC LIVES
@Elvis
You have to realize the more muddy we get the less we identify with our nationality which is was the elites want. Europe can that the jews for that.
Check out the all seeing eye illuminati bullshit at 10 seconds. And the Khazars are surprised they’ve been thrown out of every country in Europe in the past 2000 years.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=53A5AJoRxF0
.
Guys but they are born in Belgium and started playing in belgium but sammir is a 180 compared to that
@Mishko
Yup just like France full of Mud Butts. Shame really.
Fuck Belgium just scored. My god there’s a lot of muds on that team, maybe Sammir should become Belguim.
How are the Makodonuts playing?
What’s funny is I called my cousin in Zagreb at half time and he’s so a matter of fact. Pa me smo jachi, oni nemu nista za nas.
He also said they’re a younger team, which is true. Watching the game both teams ran their asses off, showed respect, but Serbia don’t have a true striker.
I do hope they can get out of Zagreb without incident. We WON, leave them the fuck alone.
Sammir is just on team beacuse of mamic and thats all but he might not get called anymore look Kranjcar Perisic Halilovic(?)Modric Rakitic Badelj Kovacic no room for him even ilicevic when zdrav is better! IDEMO NASI BRAVO LUKICA you showed why you are a big player bravo!
That second half was a little nerve-wracking, especially when the Serbs started attacking in the first ten minutes of the 2nd half. Most players would have buried the ball that Pletikosa saved.
Good effort by the team. Hope that no stories come out about our fans doing anything stupid.
Now have to root for Macedonia to beat Belgium 🙂
oh good
the other good thing is far as i could see abso no fan probs at all.. look like fans were on their best behaviour well done to all involved no issues at all.. we passed this test clean and clear
http://espnfc.com/us/en/report/334674/report.html?soccernet=true&cc=5901
No Sammir….
Sammir was not even on the roster for this game.
i kinda agree ziva, in a game like this between these 2 countries where so much is at stake, it would have been an insult to play sammir, he has no place on the team at all but especially for something like this, i really felt that once i started watching the game and seeing 35K fans in maksimir..
That was Olics best game he even dribbled the ball shocked me bravo Ola ill celebrate today but tommorow will will give my 2 cents that dont matter about things i didnt like ajmo nasi
SRBIJO ZNAJ SVEMU JE KRAJ ZBOM I VISE SE NE VRACAJ!
WOW…….what a night………
I’ll admit when I am wrong and I didn’t think Stimac would give the start to Kovacic……..very impressed with his play.
A perfect night……..we win and the Brazilian-born wanna be Hrvat did not get in. A win-win for all involved.
Hey dont we move up in the rankings for a seed now?
thank you mr black !
yeah how long till the macedonia beelgium game starts? i might watch at least part and go for macedonia they could really make our day if they draw or win
Olic is our best forward of the last 10 years.
Let’s go Macedonia! Belgium drop points.
Was anyone in Astoria at the Serp?
Olic has great speed and muscle. He just lacks finness.
When you scroll back to the first reaction you’ll find Iggy’s reaction. He predicts that Croatia would win with 2-0. The guy was right. If Australia wasn’t that far, I would be him buy him a vodka.
This WC Quali has been so freshing so far. The 2010 was pure shit and awful.
hahah tone you are the new light of my life !
altho personally vodka is my drink of choice
i especially like it cos u can chuck it in a water bottle, take it to work, get smashed and people just think u are drinking “water”.. but its iggy’s “special water” really LOL
yeah this is a great day all round, no cards, no injuries.. NO WORRIES MATE as us aussies say.. modric and kovacic look good.. we were slow to start but got going nicely
Guys I think this seals it. Olic is a true legend. That hardworking ‘no skill’ mother f’r does it when it counts.. My hat is off to Ibiza Olic. Croatian legend.
Looked like shit 2nd half.
Mateo is a young bull awesome showing!!
Iggy let’s have another brandy… Loza. Whatever I’m talking to bob
oh here we go dejan
tell us all how we should love serbians again..
u cuntwank u just accept it most people here have lost family/friends in the war and we hate those cunts end of story
now on another note someone gimme a hioghlights package preferably with croat commentary if possible
there needs to be regulation on these comments like there is on youtube, too many asshole comments.
I called 4-0 against Serbia. It ended up 2-0, so I was half right.
marko ? what does tennis have to do with this lmao ?
I hope Belgium will drop some points against Macedonia today. It would be a double victory for us.
I hope the players celebrate but focus already on their game against Wales. It would be a sin to lose some points over there.
fucking hell someone posted a link to highlights from serbian tv on the croatian football team page on facebook..
does anyone have a link to HRT brief highlights ??? pwetty pwease !?
goran prpic
Serbia are pretty much done now………..their only hopes is if Belgium somehow drop full points to Macedonia. Otherwise, it’s game over.
I may get lashed out for saying this, but Serbia were one good striker away from tying this game up. They have now been blanked in 4 games.
Pleti was huge when needed to be. All in all, just glad nothing major happened and most importantly, 3 points for the good guys.
Olic and Mandzukic may not have the finisse of Suker, but they more than make up for it with heart and strength. They were winning their duels.
When I saw Kovacic making that Slalom run through the Serbian midfield I had a tear in my eye.
i really hope in Sept we at least draw in belgrade.. i suspect the group will be more or less decided by then .. i mean we expect to win here cos we’re better the game in cuntland will be a bit harder should be interesting
History made today
damn playstation wouldn’t let me on espn3. had to watch it on the computer
hey guys
REMEMBER THAT TIME WE SMASHED THE SERBS
man feels like it was only… a few minutes ago
I REMEMBER IT LIKE YESTERDAY LOL
i have xbox too mishko i might use that but i live in aus so i doubt espn would work here legally but sounds good..
i had some english speaking stream i think it was yankee cos it had ads for some idiotic sport where idiots throw idiotic shaped balls about during the coverage
Great game, everyone worked their ass off.
BTW – This ESPN app for the XBOX 360 is awesome. After I get some more pivo I’me going to watch Macedonia v Belgium.
Me & Iggy called it 2-0 Croatia ! Thank God for Mr. Hajduk – Pleti !!! Bog,Hrvati,Hajduk, i HNS !!!
Kovacic just likes to burst on forward, excellent dribbling
well…its a great day if you are a Croatian…and even better if you’re a Slavonac….bravo boys!
Mateo was really impressive. Like really impressive
MAJSTORI!
I hope Halilovic is seeing what it means to put on the checkers. Glorious victory, bravo to all of the players, coaching staff, and the fans.
Samo Neka Naš Glas Grmi
Great play. Not even a yellow card. Respect to all the players who acclompished this. I’m very proud to be Croatian. I can’t think of one Croatian player who didn’t play well today.
I’m also impressed with Kovacic today. He’ll be our future star. And Modric: the man is god.
This Croatian team is far better than Serbia. Our strikers made the difference. Okay, Mandzukic and Olic are not the new Davor Suker. But the way they work: Amazing! Time for some alcohol!!!!
Večeras se vino pije
oh thats right THANK GOD Ziva can enjoy this momentous occasion with us since Sammir didnt play ! LOL
Hey Ziva we are all waiting for you to shock us and say something positive surely u have to now !
mishko, i agree, especially since croatians are usually good at crab fishing LOLOL
“had it going in”
hmm u could read that a few days if u have a dirty mind…
.. like i do
put me im coach im ready… says sammir!
come back with it ? i thought they all had it going in !
Now lets hope none of the guys in Vegas come back with crabs.
now, i dont want to brag but can i just politely draw everyone’s attention to the VERY FIRST POST in this thread ?
hmmm ?
HMMM ?
(^__^)
=U=
Večeras je naša fešta!
english coverage.. “what a night to be a croatian!”
(^__^)
bit sloppy there.. well done stipe again
The players are being greatly respectful to each other and I think that’s a good thing. Let’s keep the politics out of it.
Lets go boys. I want one more
@iggy
Only cause he’s been denying the Serbs. The few chances they had were also no easy ones either.
Vukojević in Olić out
Lovren looks like the fucking terminator.
man of the match? he’s only had to do a couple of things tho.. they have been important i agree but.. i dunno maybe luka for mine just cos everything goes thru him
dont remind me i could use a ciggy cico lol
Pleti motm
holy shit.. well done stipe unbelievable saves
OMG Pletikosa, he’s the man. And big Joe has been awesome.
Whew. That was close
@ Iggy , i need a pack of cigs , & a bottle of wiskey to calm me !
How is Olic still alive, he’s been running the entire time.
Kovacic is quick with that ball. He’s been doing quite well this game.
i think i might buy some serbian flags off ebay
just so i can use them for toilet paper
true but it was more the defensive player coming on for offensive.. i want more GOALS i want them to be humiliated.. if u have to sub him bring on someone similar THESE CUNTS NEED TO BE SMASHED
@Iggy
Kranjcar not known for his endurance
dont agree with that sub
Vida in, Kranjčar out
agree elvis
looking good starting to get more chances now
Kovacic well done
lovely play mateo
As Olic’s career winds down I think we can reflect and say he has had some special goals for us. One of our Heroes.
dont even show that fucking serbian flag on my screen
makes me feel like vomiting
yeah i was just thinking that.. beautiful skills on the second attempt
No dm, keep going for goals
Wow Modric really wants one
shit that was lucky
Why change anything??
nah dont change anything they dont look like scoring so keep it as is unless the flow starts to change.. otherwise lets go for the jugular
im tyrying to catch up with u lol
good effort sir, good effort
Everybody has been playing pretty composed once we got past the first 10 minutes.
Question:
Does Stimac put in a DM? Will there be any more goals?
iggy I’m pissed drunk
the good thing is the serbs have barely looked like doing anything at all.. it’s been a boring game for Stipe which is what u want to see.. they really don’t even look like scoring.. their best chance will be a dead ball set piece
yeah me too putting a 18 year old into such a heated environment is a big call but credit to him he’s played well
gOlic is a beast! He is just terrorizing the Serb defense. He is outmuscling them.
Olic will be pursuing MMA cagefighting after finishing his footballing career.
I was shocked to see Kovacic start….let alone play well!
again im not a nogomet expert but for me kovacic looking quite composed out there… and one would only expect him to get better… future star for club and country
well played boys well played.. i hope we add another 2 in the second half.. i want these fucking serb cunts humiliated
cico im saying don’t say it was a typical olic tap in… today its a wundergoal!!!
Wtf U saying dannyj ? Go home . Turn out the lights the Partys Over !!!
2 – 0
save the olic tap in comments for another day people!!!
Olic Gooooooooooooool
Olić!!
FUCK YESSSSSS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ANOTHER GOALLLLLLLLLLL
man stipe must be getting bored
bullCUNT that waqs a foul by Olic – is he not allowed to go for the ball ? fuck off.. wouldve been a real chaznce there if the cunty call wasnt cunty
haha
cunty decision is cunty
no way thats a foul on olic
could have walked in for a tap in
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS !!!!!!!!!! ok.. stop pounding so much heart u can calm down now that should settle the nerves a bit

GOOOOOOOOAAAAAAALLLLLLLLL
oh fuck me
my actual surname is kolar so its like kolarov but without the added cuntishness
LOL. UBI SERBIA chant

FYI, I able to download the ESPN App for XBOX and it’s streaming the game, there is a delay from the online form ESPN3
fuck im SO SCAREDDDD
Well done Pleti, Srna, Simunic
didnt realise boksic was with the coaching staff
sdomeone HOLD ME lol
Great they’re booing the Serb anthem. Man I hope the fans don’t fuck this up.
ohhhh HERE WEW GO fuck my heart is pounding ! SO NERVOUS
which is the best stream from wizwig: there are too many bloody options also the one im on isnt showing build up
quit daring line-up. little bit afraid that it could hinder Srna’s attacking effort without DM
@cico
Don’t forget dinamo. Most of the players came from that team.
This is the longest ad-break I’ve ever witnessed
okies.. i had a napsies.. now time for SMASHIES
Let’s Go !!!!!! Let’s do this !!!!! Fired right up !!!!!!!
Can’t Wait ! Bog,Hrvati,Hajduk, i HNS !!!
Fucking stress!!!!! Daj Boze!!!! Let’s get the job done…we need a early goal to settle the boys down..Cro3 serbia1…serbia has to open up and go for broke goals will come.
Mateo Kovačić is starting? Yeah!!

Some of these line up predictions make me laugh……..do you guys honestly follow what is going with the team or this the line up you want to see
——-Corluka—— Lovren —–Simunic ——Strinic—–
—————————-Badelj———————-
—-Srna——————Modric———————Rakitic
——————-Mandza——————Olic——-
Olic out in the 55th for Jealvic
and Kranjcar on in 70 for Whoever
I predict it will be like oluja. Serbs will fold like bitches and run back to Serbia with their tails between their legs.
: )
if vuki plays over badelj………..no gooooood
I predict this be the lineup:
Pletikosa
Vida Corluka Simunic Strinic
Srna Badelj Modric Rakitic
Mandzo Olic
That is a killer lineup,
^Obvious troll is obvious
My prediction is that it ends like in Vukovar. 0-3, croat cunts getting floored.
wiziwig is what used to be myp2p.eu
hvala buraz
wizwig has a strange resemblence to myp2p.eu that got shot down lolol
Damn the khazars tied Portugal 3 to 3.
wiziwig.eu for live streams bro
Pletikosa
Strinic Schildenfart Joe-packofcigs Srna
Kranjcar Rakitic Vukojevic Modric
Mandzukic Jelavic
On in the 60th-Eduardo for Jelavic
On in the 65th-Vida for Vukojevic
On in the 80th-Olic for Mandzukic
Final Score Croatia 3:1 Serbia
Goals for Croatia: Jelavic (30th, 35th), Mandzukic (68th)
Goals for Serbia: Who fucking cares
the thing that sucks baout espn3 is that you have to aucutally have that channel at home
someone hook me up with a account plzzzzz
I haven’t had my morning coffee, so the typo are coming aplenty.
On at and the game will be on ESPN3

@Anonymous
Don’t forget how many communism killed and their role in it.
One qualifier under way already – Israel leading Portugal 2-1. If Israel really wants to live in peace and be a good neighbor, why don’t they qualify from the region that they should be placed in?
Worst mistake is modern times was the creation of that country in 1948. More lives have been lost than for any other war-related reason. Tired of seeing exceptions made for them.
I know that there ar countries that refuse to play them, but, fuck it, let them forfeit.
@valentina
LOL
Fucking love my hercegovci !!!
http://www.index.hr/mobile/clanak.aspx?category=sport&id=668739
game is at 1 because zagreb has not had daylight savings yet
My Lineup
Mandza Olic
Kranjcar Modric Vuki Rakitic
Strinic Simunic Corluka Srna
Pletikosa
Eduardo for Olic 60 Min
Vida for Kranjcar 70 Min (Move Srna to RM)
Badelj for Rakitic 85 Min just to make sure
U BOJ!
1 pm eastern.
lot of places are syaing the game is at 12 eastern???????
is at at 1
I like 5 midfielders, but every single report suggests we’re going to play something similar to that 4-4-2 Turkey lineup that we played in Istanbul.
This would consist of that Olic/Mandzo pairing up front, likely no Badelj as DM, and Rakitic probably running down the wing.
Personally, I think the form of Modric, Mandzo, Rakitic, and Srna will be too much for Serbia to handle…but then again, we have guys in our starting lineup who have the ability to negate our offensive flow.
Guys like Olic and Vukojevic aren’t the greatest at making a crisp pass to their teammates while we dominate possession and could mess up a few opportunities. Lovren, although talented, can be a bonehead and make a key mistake on our end as well.
I don’t like playing unskilled niche players if we plan on dominating possession, but hopefully the offensive firepower that Modric, Srna, Raketa, and Mandzo provides still outweighs this issue.
2-1 for the good guys. we will let in a second half goal to make the finish tense but will hold on.
olic and modric with the goals
i hope we get out from the first whistle and attack. we have superior talent and are playing at home….not the time to sit back. i know nerves will be high but they will be too for the serbs because they know that they need a win. realistically, a draw doesn’t really do much for them so i hope they come out, trying to attack and we hit them when they open up.
a draw isn’t the end of the world for us but a loss will be devastating for our chances to finish 1st (with a return trip to belgrade in the fall considering belgium already beat them) so we need to go out and take the game.
hope the crew in vegas is representing! hrvatska!
3:0 u boj u boj za narod svoj!!
5-0 HRVATSKA. pozdav iz astoria
idemo piti i plesati
Man I couldn’t sleep.
Agree Cro 3 – Cigani 1.
I strongly see this line up.
They need to control the tempo and settle down the first 20 minutes. You need a strong mid to do that. They won’t begin the game 4-4-2.
Mandza
Kranjcar Rakatic Badelj Srna
Modric
Strinic Simunic Schildenfeld Corluka
Stipe
Bravo Iggy. Hrvatska 3-1. Some how we always give up one silly goal.
i predict hrv 2 – 0 cunts
