If Super Mario was ever planning on an acting career after his footballing days are over, he should stop right now. Early yesterday, Index.hr released a story saying that Croatian striker Mario Mandžukić was leaving the national team and would not be traveling to Brazil.
Coincidentally, an Index reporter caught up with Mandza as he was leaving the hotel. Mandžukić comes straight to the reporter and says, “Sorry, I do not have time right now. I would just like to say that I’m leaving the national team and preparing for a new role. You will know the rest in time.”
After multiple Prva Generacija members contacted me through text and email asking me if this horrific news was true, I began to analyze the “exclusive” Index video. It took me 10 seconds to know that this was a hoax.
Maybe Index is planning a “rise of the phoenix” story on Mandžukić before the World Cup begins, but who’s he trying to fool with this acting performance which deserves a raspberry award more than anything?
Stay tuned in the upcoming days to see what Index was really trying to pull with this “inside story.” But sleep well friends, Mandza will be in the staring XI for the Cameroon match.

haha I don’t think I’m a jugo, and the regional liga bit was not me. but I am for bringing any FIFA eligible player with enough talent onto the repka
😀
“It’s quite simple, nepoznat doesn’t have a problem with Holiga because he shares the same the same political viewpoints as him. Don’t try to change your colors now nepi”
@nepoznat
you a jugo? i felt like in the past you’re all for a regional liga, bringing as many non croats onto the NT as possible, etc.
know what that screams, sorry to say?
JUGO
better watch out for the jugo police on this site, they’ll tear you to shreds

Mamic will make it happen 😀
Niko Kovač should take a look at this player for the NT after the world cup.

did they? someone above said it was a mex b team
i dont know their team so i have nfi
Why was Mexico upset?
They fielded a full strength squad themselves
BiH destroyed Mexico.
All Mexico did all game was play longball. They literally have ZERO central midfield.
Mexico only started to play better once BiH took out Pjanic and Dzeko in the last 15 min.
what was the final score?
yeah the bit i turned on to watch the commentators mentioned how the mehicans were pisswed because bosnia changed their lineup from reserve to full-strength at the last minute
Antwerp- the coach is making a show, I didn’t see the game but I read a little commentary and based on only what I read, BiH was escalating the tempo and Mexico played catchup….I can’t say this was how it was but this is the report.
Herrera is probably mad his team was outmatched and the play wasn’t a dominant performance by Mexico!
@ Slavonac
“The 8 game unbeaten streak comes to an end,” says the commentator. Yeah, and now the 5 game losing streak begins.
Herrera needs to stop making excuses. Because his team isn’t that great.
World Cup 2014 Rankings: Power Ranking Top 5 Under-21 Players Named To World Cup Rosters
#1 Mateo Kovacic
http://www.sportsworldnews.com/articles/14321/20140603/world-cup-2014-rankings-power-ranking-top-5-under-21-players-named-to-world-cup-rosters-video.htm
1. Mateo Kovacic (20), Midfielder, Croatia
Unlike the others ranked behind him, playing time will not be an issue for Mateo Kovacic. At the club level, the 20-year-old made 32 appearances for Italian outfit Inter Milan. His prowess in individual battles allowed him to average 1.4 tackles and 2.2 dribbles per match. Opposing players were only able to dribble past him an average 0.4 times. He remained a staple during Croatia’s World Cup qualifying cycle and will be relied upon to make an impact in Group A.
Long club season. We shall see if it makes a difference.
For al the shit I give our savez at least they do all the paperwork that is needed. The Bosnian federation failed to get the proper paperwork for one their players to get a visa for entry into the US. The player bitched about the savez and was cut from the team. Bosna everybody.
Just read this:
Miguel Herrera was furious with officials at the half, complaining that Bosnia-Herzegovina changed their lineup at the last minute, and showed a serious lack of respect to their opponents by doing so. There are some reports suggesting that the Mexican manager ripped the starting line up cards from the officials out of anger.
I agree Ziva, based on what I’ve read Kovac did kill them in physical intensive training…not sure if that’s good or not!
Interesting approach some team take in getting ready for the WC. We are playing two friendlies against lightweight opponents. While Mexico is playing four matches in a tight schedule.
Its mexicos reserve with some starters and thats bih team A.
BiH up 1-0. Mexico getting a taste of real competition.
Mexicos defense is looking like Swiss cheese
Sammir speaks better cro then half of cro diaspora outside europe euro diaspora speak cro well.
Hej Ziva it is a pain to listen to cro amerikenci tqlk cro je je probably je je daj mi coc whiskey ljuljacka i haaaa zelje zele haaaa.
true, but can he order a drink and food properly. If he can, he is way ahead of the game than the US diaspora hrvati.
Joe’s Croatian is fine. He nailed it perfectly. “Za Dom Spremni”
there are some pretty neat shirts there.. some are too political for me to want to wear in public but some are nice
i think u just order through their FB but they could design their site better for sure it’s confuzzling
u know the best comment on that buzzfeed on croatia was this:
Marijana Begonja · Top Commenter · Indiana
Please Buzzfeed stop making World Cup posts if the only thing that concerns you is the player’s looks. Additionally your facts are way off, just stop you don’t have a clue. Our best player right now is Luka Modric, who just won the Champions League, oh wait that’s irrelevant to Buzzfeed’s understanding of soccer since he’s not good looking
Jow wont have a send off N.Kova and takoder Robert never got sendoff hell even only Boban and Asanovic got proper send off and Ladic if i remeber alot of better players than ajoe didnt get sendoffs
Ome on, you don’t need a shirt with a caricature of another person. That would be jock sniffing at a higher level.
I know alot of you like joe but his croatian is terrible ruku na srce.
that website is not all that helpful tho is it majstore ?
like.. wattt do they only have a few shirts at a time?? its like u cant “enter” the site or something? i dont KWIM.. I CANT KWIM !!!! HALP ME HALPPPP
It’s quite simple, nepoznat doesn’t have a problem with Holiga because he shares the same the same political viewpoints as him. Don’t try to change your colors now nepi
Sorry

Iggy, the guys that made that shirt are Aussies
365 creations
Look them up.
whose married to a serb Gloira?
speaking about that tackle
not long after that time someone on this site linked to a website selling a shirt with a still of that image and it said something like minister of defence around the outside of it..
does anyone remember this, where this was from etc?
i meant to pick one up on at the time but it passed me by : /
+1 for a proper send off for Josip!
Good, let him leave, the HNS is so corrupt, the prva liga is bringing garbage, fans aren’t even showing up. The national has a brazilian drunk and fucko on the team that is married to a serbian. It’s all fucked up. I prefer to watch the Zagreb Bears or any other sport these days.
^ ^
Totally agree about Big Joe.
Also, every HNS compilation video in the future should include multiple views of him chopping down that Serb.
Simunic deserves a proper “send off”…over the years he did a lot of good for the team, he was a warrior and I will forever remember him most for the smashing of the cedo….that video will be played for the rest of our lives!
hahaha…watching the Brazil goals it looked more like a casual ševa…especially on the backheel through pass….uffff
@slavonac……good point. I guess it goes to the reader to determine or answer that question.
I don’t know if Suspension Joey will get a proper send off. That would be up to the savez and they sure didn’t do him any favors when they refused to support him in the build up and aftermath of the suspension. Remember, Puppet Suker’s long term goal is to be a member of the FIFA executive committee. He wont do anything to will put him in a bad spotlight.
Joe will be back for a proper send off. Standing ovation and all.
Ziva-I agree, reading a perspective doesn’t mean they are wrong about another….but it means they can’t be objective…so how do you know when his personal feelings affect the integrity of his column? He’s obviously got an issue with how he sees things…why wouldn’t everything he writes be distorted…something opposite of “homer glasses”?!
Joe Simunic will be ok…I’d actually laugh if he came back after the 10 game suspension…wouldn’t that be something?
Do you guys think Suspension Joey will be singing “Lijepa li si”? And will he be watching from his “dom”.
I’m surprised Cro or Aussie media hasn’t landed an extended interview with Suspension Joey. Although, I doubt he would grant an interview.
My biggest disappointment for the World Cup will be not having Strucnjak Stimac in Brazil. Too bad he is not doing the games on TV.
Holiga is a self-hating Hrvat. In fact he is a broken record and he keeps repeating the same political nonsense.
He said his crap once (which was all BS), but he has nothing better to do except repeat it. It’s actually poor journalism. It’s a pity he has to revert to sensationalism. He needs to come up with new material, and do some real journalistic work.
@Slavonac
Exactly, he is the type that will stab you in the back. Way too many Hrvati have suffered from garbage that people like him preach. He has his agenda. Just imagine if we get past the first round and more Hrvati show up in Brazil and are singing a “Thompson” song. You can just imagine what he will be writing. The hell with him.
Time to cheer on the boys next week with a “Lijepa li si” 🙂 .
Croatian team landed in Brazil…hahahaha….Sammir’s family and friends awaiting him with a banner
apparently the team has to drive 100km’s to the camp and then immediately train!
Kovac is a beast!
To each his own. I mentioned this before. I go out of my way to read opposing points of view. Just because you disagree with one person on an issue or multiple issues, it doesn’t mean that person is wrong about another unrelated issue. But, I get it why people don’t.
nepoznat- it is kinda true what these guys say…you can’t have it both ways…what music do you want to dance to today…Croatians are Nazi’s or “let me tell you about Croatia’s quality”…for a stranger, its no big deal…people emotionally invested…you have a hard time with it…what do I take as fact and fiction if this guy is so divided…”Jekyl & Hyde” about Croatia…Ziva mentioned reading will never hurt us but it depends on how you take it….I agree with those that think he’s a farce….tomorrow he’ll celebrate with you…the day after he’ll call you an Ustasa for singing to “Lijepa li si”!
I agree with Moja. He could tattoo Evo Zore on his forehead and I would still shit on him. Once I know his true colors, everything is a farce.
don’t care, many other articles on the internet, I won;t support jugo trash like that
moja trust me you are missing a lot of good articles by the guy
Hooliga is garbage, when I see a post or link to him I dont even click it. Stay away from the jugo trash.
I can understand ragging on Holiga when he talks political crap, or shit about the fans… but what issue do you have with this write-up? Personally I think most of his soccer based writing is pretty good and covers our guys/team in decent depth
And another article to wipe my ass with.
Can Croatia Live Up to Captain Darijo Srna’s Promise?
By Aleksandar Holiga
http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2084264-can-croatia-live-up-to-captain-darijo-srnas-promise
Lol majstore, you actually believe that Ziva is going to Brasil? 😀
What happens if Ziva’s flight to brazil lands in the water … On one hand it would be a terrible disaster. On the other hand we would never have to read his annoying shit on here ever again
: p
@nepoznat………..what if that plane had an Air Malayasia type of experience? On one hand it would be a terrible disaster. On the other hand, we wouldn’t have to play World Cup games with Brazilians on our roster.
they may be annoying, but with truth comes annoyance.
boom mic on the window
Question time my friends………..
What thing Ziva talks about on this forum that is most annoying:
A. Living in a fortified basement
B. The love affair with Krancjar’s weight issues.
C. The hard on he seemigly has for Corluka’s STD issues
D. His so called connections to the HNS
E. The obsession with people who jock sniff
F: All of the above

D. Gus Johnson broadcasting a soccer match
Pranjic’s Mohawk looks ridiculous! what is the guy trying to prove? some kind or native warrior costume?
hahahaha….its hilarious! I don’t understand the need to look desperate and embarrass yourself and your kids?
whats worse…the “Affliction” image or wearing a jersey with another man’s name on the back? I say the Affliction image is for those that are dying to hold onto some screwed up image!
Don’t be these guys……..http://robbrink.com/2009/01/01/2008-douchebag-awards/
@ Slavonac
Dude, that Affliction shirt, tats, sideways baseball cap means you’re a badass motherfucker! Don’t you know this?!
Ziva-
my favorite is watching grown men in their late 30’s and early 40’s wearing those “Affliction” t-shirts, jeans with huge back pockets and some major stitching and a pair of real goofy white shoes….nothing screams “look at me” louder than that….throw in the dry ink and you got yourself a real screwed up individual!
the other day I took my kids to “Playland”..its a small version of Disneyland (not really but it has a lot of rides and games). I saw a guy in his late 30’s, tattoos up to his chin, white Affliction t-shirt, a baseball hat on sideways, rings on both thumbs…I felt sorry for his kid!
If there were really people who thought that was legit, then their parents have really failed them……..
Question time my friends………..
What is worse/more disturbing than Mandza’s acting:
A. Kranjcar’s daily calorie intake
B. the language skills of US diaspora hrvati
C. STD Corluka’s conquest last night
D. Gus Johnson broadcasting a soccer match
E. Grown men wearing MMA gear or jerseys with another man’s name on the back

who needs him anyway when you have world class strikers like Jelavic, Dudu and if need be, Duje Cop and Nikola Kalinic even.
Stay home Mandzo, you need a break from that mess in Munich anyway.
Give that man the fuckin Oscar. Award winning performance.
he should be in that movie cro cop made some years back.. what was it called? ultimate force or something.. dear lord that was bad
MANdzukic
Love the delivery … and then … the arm wave for dramatic effect!
Never could get with that euro Mohawk look but my MAN is a beast non the less.
Glad to know that he will be SPREMAN for Kamerun !
Sretan Put Vatreni .
Mandzo would’ve been perfect in ,,Krv nije Voda.”
