Well, Dinamo are through to the Conference League knockout round…but should we be impressed? They needed the final day of qualifying to make it happen in a group comprised of clubs from Kosovo and Kazakhstan. They left it late with three 2nd half goals from Perić and Petković with Petko securing the brace through a penalty kick in the 77′. Dinamo should have topped this group, but nonetheless, they will be the only Croatian club playing in Europe after the New Year. Big game this weekend! Dinamo host Hajduk at Maksimir before the HNL winter break begins.
On December 18th, Dinamo will be drawn with one of the above clubs to play in the Conference League “Playoff Knockout Round”. Two legs home and away with aggregate scoring in play. No away-goal rule applies. The eight teams above all finished 3rd place in their respective Europa League groups and have now been moved down in competition to the Conference League.
Classic Shane Macgowan………….. RIP

See the man
The crushed up man
With the crushed up Carrolls packet in his hand
Doesn’t seem to see or care
Or even understand
And all he says is:
F yez all, F yez all, F yez all
Once he stood in a bar room brawl
With a broken bottle in his hand
F yez all, F yez all, F yez all, F yez all
The coppers came
Dragged him away from his crucified Lord
Beat him up in a meat wagon
And they stood him up in court
And all he had to say was:
F yez all, F yez all, F yez all, F yez all
St John Of Gods, St John Of Gods
St John Of Gods, St John Of Gods
See the man,
The crushed up man
With the crushed up Carrolls packet in his hand
Doesn’t seem to see or care
Or even understand
And all he says is:
F yez all, F yez all, F yez all, F yez all
St John Of Gods, St John Of Gods
F yez all, F yez all
Does anyone know if they are going to be showing it @ the Croatian Hall in San Pedro, and if so what is the kick-off time, thanks?
LOL. Transfermarkt just keeps slashing values of the HRV
Betis, Olympiakos and Ajax would be hard for Dinamo to beat, however against all the other teams in the draw they have a reasonable chance of progressing.
In fact, against Molde, Servette and Maccabi they would be favorites.
“Well, Dinamo are through to the Conference League knockout round…but should we be impressed?”
Considering Dinamo lost Ivanusec, Sutalo and Livakovic and then bought Kacavenda and Stojkovic and then they bith got major surgery done and haven’t been part of the team…this watered down team is holding their own and still dominating in every HNL game they play. Petkovic was also injured for several weeks. Imagine Rijeka or Hajduk losing their top 3 players….and still in the run for the league!
Any club that has been watered down like Dinamo has would lose lots of steam.
This shows you just how bad HNL is
I find it entertaining to be honest. I love it when Istra steal points from a big team…Sibenik used to do it all the time. There are some really funny lookin stadiums in the middle of farm areas and I love that!
Agreed. It’s comical to watch folks putting out their clothes to dry while the games are going on.
Agreed. In what other league do teams lose top players due to injuries and transfers, have other players come in who are not as good and still dominate?
Very few.
Yes!, The few and the proud. The stone and the fire. The straight and the true. No I don’t know how bad it is, but I know how good it is.
Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. France seems to think they have a great soccer team. The don’t know bad it is. Every time they win a tournament, the fans burn down the city on queue. Be careful what you wish for in life, or you might end up with a good team like France.
France, Italy, England, Netherlands are having identity problems because they’ve had a history of colonizing and enslaving people, now those people do not feel patriotic to their new homeland.
The new France team members look like they’re from Senegal while they used to look more like Deschamps or Platini.
England are done, we will never see the English as pasty while and a red nose from all the alcohol along with crooked and rotten teeth. Netherlands is on its way and Italy has lost Southern Italy…they are no longer a “white” nation!
Slavonac, How is it that you have your own personal Croatian emoji? Love the Tamburica group!
Life is short, try to enjoy the ride. Try not to take it personal that you are unwanted and considered an undesirable deplorable.
USA, has had 15 million illegals crossed the border headed to Canada to join you soon. These are needed potential voters to remove and dilute western european influence out of USA, brought to you by the democratic party. The final solution is alive and well, and it what the people seem to want, so who am I or you to argue. This is democracy. Go figure. Democratic party is having a hell of a time trying to keep people in line though,
The are throwing out the conservative elderly and veteran “fascist” to make room for them. Coming up to Canada to join you soon.
Put a beautiful Slovene model in office! Vote for Trump!

nice, thanks!
lots of things happening lately, the best thing is that McCarthy is gone…one less Establishment/Swamp creature. Hunter should get charged and go to jail, Joe should also end up in jail, the judge and prosecutor NY are complete whack nuts….America has become a Banana Republic!
Yeah, stop making me depressed, I hear you. I will focus on the sports stuff and keep it light in 2024, I don’t want Ante to boot me.
How about that Marko Livaja?
……..We can only control ourselves. Vivek has some great ideas but apparently, he rubs people the wrong way, speaking the truth.
I still think democrats are going to have a tough time keeping every special interest group under the same tent, moving forward in the same direction.
Please no politics here. Twitter and Instagram has that. Let’s keep this pure 🇭🇷
Pravo, Imam to.
I dunno about that Slavonac. With player like Bellingham, England can go far. Look at what the kid is doing is La Liga right now and tell me you disagree.
This could be a year England pulls something off. Don’t get me wrong I don’t want it to happen but there is a strong possibility that it could happen for them with a player like that.
Dinamo will likely get either Real Betis or a resurgent Ajax
