The only two remaining Croatians in Champions League (Luka Modrić, Real Madrid and Mario Mandžukić, Bayern Munich) have been paired on opposite sides of the semifinal draw Friday, meaning the two can battle it out on May 25th in London, England for European glory at Wembley. First things first though- the semifinals.
Mandžukić and Bayern Munich will open up at home against Spanish champions-elect Barcelona on April 23rd before heading to Camp Nou eight days later. Modrić and Real Madrid take on last year’s German champions, Borussia Dortmund, in Germany on April 24th with the return leg in Madrid on April 30th.
These are happy times for Croatian soccer fans. Not only is the national team playing well, moving up to #4 in the current FIFA world rankings, but we very well may have an all-Croatian Champions League final on our hands.
Bro you need to stop sigh-ing. you are hyperventilating!
I’m pretty sure mourinho gets more play time than modric
just curious, from the guys who know soccer better, how would modric fit in bayerns system?
HAVE U SEEN HOW HOT SHE IS ? lol
The strongest teams of Europe are defenetly Real Madrid and Bayern Munich. Barcelona has been liying low in this season with the defeats against Madrid and Dortmund lost the league too soon, their lucky win against Málaga proves that they are not quite yet a team that can win the CL.
I’m fucking waiting for the CL final to see Mandzo and Modric hugging before the game!
It doesen’t matter who wins if there is a croatian in each team, but, if i had to chose, i would go for Bayern. It’s just the fact that i hate Real Madrid.
@Iggy, thanks for sharing. Whoever says the girl is not pretty is only trying to make you feel better. As they say, the best way to get over a girl is to get under another one. Time will heal all…
there’s not tonnes like her tho.. shes lovely. SIGH
All alone, or in two’s,
The ones who really love you
Walk up and down outside the wall.
Some hand in hand
And some gathered together in bands.
The bleeding hearts and artists
Make their stand.
And when they’ve given you their all
Some stagger and fall, after all it’s not easy
Banging your heart against some mad bugger’s wall.
Hang in there man as this too shall pass. Iggy, there are tons and I mean tons of hot chicks out there! Rumination is not your friend right now and that is what is making you feel unhappy essentially. Either way, if you need to chat you do have friends here!!
Iggy je broj jedan!
@Iggy
Love the new picture!
You look like Leisure Suit Larry.
I might have to call you Ignacio from now on!
yeah im so not into her.
shes not the hottest girl ive been with, or anything

@Ziva Istina
“well, that’s the EPL, not UEFA. I don’t know what the rules are for UEFA. Domestic leagues probably have different standards from country to country.”
Well, the original comment was made in the general sense of the sport and implying that all yellow cards were final and is without appeal or rescinding. Which is not the case. By the way, the Champions League rules allow for yellow card appeals and rescinding under review.
aha, looks like we have a Ziva imposter, again.
I guess I should be flattered.
Scientology?!? Consider yourself lucky you got rid of her!

@Iggy
Stop feeling sorry for yourself and drowing your sorrows with booze. So many girls in this world. Get out and meet them. Fuck you’re Croatian, aren’t you.
dude he did it croatian style, which is shot gun wedding. Ah u damn hrvati in the diaspora are to serious. The real hrvati knock up there women before then they get married. Its not a coincidence that pregnancy only take 7 months in croatia.
I know Rakitic is a good player. I’m not ripping him.
As for the shotgun wedding comment. Well, when you get married in the middle of the week to a girl pregnant with your child……it’s a shotgun wedding.
@Ziva
You have to take it easy on Rakitic. I get it, it’s funny to sh*t on him, but seriously, he’s been contributing to the national team through three campaigns now. He just turned 25, come on. I know it’s useless to try and get you to not sh*t on someone or say something quippy, but at least give credit where it’s due. I think we all remember how well Rakitic played in both Euros. Dude won goal of the year in Switzerland at 19. What were the rest of us doing at that age?
And I’d kindly as you to take back the “shotgun wedding” comment as a negative remark (that’s how it’s seen). I know your just as well acquainted with Croatian culture as I am, and a shotgun wedding is a perfectly acceptable form to receive the sacrament, considering the fact that 60% of marriages happen that way
Iggy,
She’s not pretty at all, and if she really did that while with you, then she’s got nothing going for her.
You’re wasting your time if you’re moping around for something so mediocre. Get off the Internet and pick up some dirties. 😉
@Iggy
Hang in there brate!
You live in a country that’s crawling with babes!
Things will work out…
the first goal link works the second one taken downa lrady

MEGA SIGH
Santini asistirao za Freiburg
u 73. minuti nakon sjajnog kontranapada u kojem je Kruse pronašao Ivana Santinija, a naš nogometaš gurnuo loptu najboljem igraču utakmice Schmidu čiji udarac nije uspio zaustaviti večeras iznimno nesigurni Zieler. Samo minutu nakon što je asistirao Schmidu, Santini je izašao iz igre.

any link to the goals ?
he was 20 born 1988 is rakiti
@ ziva . i think rakitic was 18 at the time of that turkey game. i ll cut him some slack. 99 out of 100 times, that game ends with croatia winning and no one would remember in the slightest rakitic losing the ball
http://www.vecernji.hr/sport/vijesti/suker-u-pregovorima-smo-prijateljsku-utakmicu-portugalom-clanak-537825
This sounds good!
The thing about Rakitic is i never know what he true position is he can play across the entire middle but for croatia he plays rm or lm in sevilla am or cm.
Yeah Sevilla really imploded there. Rakitic may not be “world class” but he is good enough to be on a top 5 side that competes for a champions league spot/gets into the champions league consistently.
Atleast Rakitic played well who cares about sevilla he will most likely be sold to lazio i think or back to Bundesliga
This is funny

@Solomon Grundy…….well, that’s the EPL, not UEFA. I don’t know what the rules are for UEFA. Domestic leagues probably have different standards from country to country.
Oh, I can forgive Ivan “shotgun wedding” Rakitic. Actually, there nothing to forgive. That’s sport.
Elite players rise to the top when it matters most. Shotgun wedding Rakitic, while a very good player, is not elite. Him choking when it matters the most is not a surprise. We saw it at the 2008 Euros against Turkey not knowing how to finish a game. Any kid who has any soccer IQ would know to kill the game when presented with the chance.
@solomon
Yep it’s bizarre, especially since the dive was so blatant.
I doubt Ziva will ever forget or forgive Rakitic.
@CousinBilo
Funny how a red card can be rescinded. It’s technically a second yellow.

What channel is the game on?
Ziva you’re a douche.
I haven’t seen the goals, but safe to assume it was not a header????
@solomon
Completely different scenario. An additional ban of 1 match (in addition to the 1 game suspension for the second yellow) was considered because the officials thought he had deliberately gotten a yellow to have a clean-slate going into the semis. Iniesta still had to serve the standard suspension for the yellow.
Yellows are not up for dispute.
Raketa with 2 in a derby game so under ratted people look at that stupid save/miss in 2012 instead of his overall game bravo.
Rakitic with 2 goals in first 20 minutes!
it looks like it has been done before tho?

Can’t appeal a yellow. So no.
Will Mario play the first game as he has accumulated two yellows? Someone said Bayern will appeal the card. Is this true?
