Results for April 25 – May 4, 2014
The relegation battle is in full force in the final weeks of the Prva Liga. Dinamo has the title wrapped up, and Rijeka and Hajduk have sealed up the final European competition spots and will be on their way to the Europa League next season, but the remaining action is taking place at the bottom of the table.
Only six points separate the seventh place team from the tenth place, and the teams near last place have been playing some of their best football to date.
Hrvatski Dragovoljac and Slaven Belupo have both won three of their last five games, which doubled the total amounts of wins for both clubs.
Slaven won a huge match against Hajduk Split, winning 3-0 in Koprivnica, but found themselves on the wrong side of a 3-0 score line this past weekend on their visit to Dinamo Zagreb.
Osijek are doing their best trying to climb up from the bottom by winning five of their last seven matches. Osijek sits only three points above the relegation playoff zone, and is tied with Zadar on points.
NK Zadar seemed to be safe from relegation, but lost the past seven straight matches, leaving them near the drop zone.
The Druga Liga is also nearing the end of its season with NK Zagreb resting with a comfortable lead on top of the table. It is safe to say that they will be rejoining the Prva Liga come next season.
NK Cibalia will be making a bid of their own when they face the ninth place team in the Prva Liga for their playoff for possible promotion.
Week 33
WEEK 34
Cico get help. The truth will set you free.
Biggest idiot to come from Split.
That was me above. Thought I had ante b in the comment box.
Thanks man. Honestly it would of been even nicer if BBB came out in force and Maksimir was packed. Even though Dinamo ended up winning, the atmosphere during the 93-94 Cup Final game at Kantrida was just insane. BBB and Dinamo just going absolutely bonkers, great game on the pitch too. Seems like those days are longggggg gone now. For those that don’t know, check out the highlights on youtube.
Armada,
Congrats to your boys coming in from Rijeka in those numbers. Should be a great game!
BASTARD!
TRUTH!
SHAME!
BOG!!!!

@ truth , F U – Bastard ! Use a name Dipshit , idiot ! I Blame a-holes like U for being so dumb & not adding nothing to this site ! Have a nice day Pizdo !!
Mexico must realize that they underestimate ‘Rvatsku at their peril!
Cico get your head out of your ass, You moron. Stop blaming others.
we all know we can beat all 3 teams including brazil and lose to all of them… let them underestimate us, have faith kovac pulls them together
we must not forget how we played in euro and one has to say our core is that much stronger individually now… if they pull it together we will shock the world once again
as long as they leave it out on the field like they did in euro and we get fair officiating we should be pleased

I wouldn’t be offended if the Cameroonians thought they could beat us too.
Which they totally could…
lol i know its not right to post other stuff on these forums but fuck as most of us are raised the croat way, you will get a kick out of this

People are getting way too offended by what the Mexicans think of us.
Of course if you asked the average Mexican soccer/sports fan who would win they would say Mexico.
Only a real fan that has followed the qualifying process would give you a knowledgeable answer but most Mexican fans there are going to side with themselves.
We aren’t Spain, Germany, Italy, etc…
Most Mexican’s wouldn’t be able to even point us out on a map!
U know it !!!
TRUTH !!
Bog
Hajduk i
USA !!!
Well, Mexico tends to overachieve at the World Cup tournaments and we always seem to underachieve.
Mexico has qualified for the Round of 16 in the past five World Cups in a row, dating back to World Cup ’94.
They probably would’ve had a longer streak, but Mexico was kicked out of World Cup 1990 for fielding an overage player in a prior youth tournament.
So you can understand why these Mexicans are quick to write us off, despite our players being much better than theirs at club level.
Not trying to be a buzzkill, but we’d just better be ready against them because no matter what happens in that Brazil and Cameroon game, this will very likely be the deciding factor. All streaks must eventually come to an end.
SHAME ! The TRUth is OUt THeRE !
@dannyj
– the guy who wrote that article couldn’t name 4 players on either Croatia, Mexico or Cameroon – I can guarantee that.

Croatia arrives in Austria May 23, plays a game against Mali there, and then heads for Brazil.
Kovac talks about how nice the facilities and people are in Bad Tazmannsdorf, the fact that he can’t remember if there was ever a time so many of the players are in top form before a major tournament, and that they are proud and excited to play Brazil in the opener.
Is that the BAN JELICIC WAGON? I still think he means bandwagon.

Ziva U r wright that We were Very mismanaged ! They should put All of those Idiots who Screwed Us in Jail !!! Ante bbb , Shame is your beloved Mamic/dinamo ! FAKE Championships – SHAME ! Be Cool all will come Out Soon ! Bog , Hrvati , USA ,Hajduk , HNS , & Love thats All !!!
How hard is it to find another guy willing to participate in an organized afterschool backyard fight club event.
Dos Santos injured Miocic may not fight this month unless they find another opponent
Yeah guys get off the BAN WAGON!!!
FOR SHAME !
id personally love to see the aways once? but maybe we have to save it for knockout stages;)
@Cico……….nobody is saying that Dinamo is clean. Hell, Mamic is scum. But, we (I say we as in us jadan i mali hajduk fans) need to stop blaming Dinamo for all of our issues. It is not Dinamo’s fault jadan i mali hajduk have been led by pure idiots and influenced by idiots in the street. Jadan i mali hajduk need to take accountability first.
So we are wearing our checkers against Brazil, Mexico and Cameroon – awesome!
Hope this doesn’t upset Jovanovic. Now if only Simunic is allowed to participate.
What shirt are we going to wear in the final?
Ajmo!
Nothing But A Bunch of Ban Wagoners on this site ! Wait , just U Wait when All the Truth comes out with what that (G)nk International has been Doing ,& Fooling All U Weak Minded Friends of Mine these past 7-10 yrs ! We Will Always , & mean ALWAYS , be The Most Loved Team in Croatia ,& Throughout the World !! Keep the Faith my Hajduk Brothers ! We will be Back ! Sooner than Later ! Hajduk i Torcida 4 Life !! Bog , Hrvati , USA , Hajduk , i HNS !!!
I’m sure their answer would be like mine (if i was a nogometas) being born in the states…
I’m hoping one of the media outlets in Cro interviews the fringe players (Kalinic, Ilicevic – with translator of course, ademi, etc..) and asks them why they think they deserve to be on the roster.
they wont even play so i went with my hajdukovac
Lovre Kalinic has just returned from like three or four months of injury, and has been doing pretty awful for hajduk lately. That’s the only disagreement I have with Nije Bitno on the line up. If you think we need a keeper from the HNL, I’d choose Ivan Vargir, Dom Picak or even Jezina over Kalinic right now. But Dario Kresic from Mainze is available as well. Might want to see him as a third keeper.
what about Nikola Kalinic for the squad? I mean he hasn’t been doing shit, that usually warrants him a NT call-up, right?
Kranjcar needs to go. OPnly to ballance the weight of the plane or bus in case their are 300 pounds too much on one side. He could sit on the other side to balance it out.
Kranjcar is going lol
nije- good choices!
i chose my 23 yesterday off of that list. I couldnt choose between Vukojevic or Badelj (dont think either of them are the answer for the DM role) but went with Badelj. Chose to give the lil men Halilovic and Rebic some WC experience instead of going for veterans that suck anyway.
3 Goalies – Pletikosa, Subasic, Kalinic
7 Defenders – Srna, Corluka, Lovren, Schildenfeld, Vrsaljko, Strinic, Vida
8 Midfielders – Modric, Rakitic, Kovacic, Pranjic, Ilicevic, Perisic, Badelj, Halilovic
5 Forwards – Mandzukic, Olic, Dudu, Rebic, Jelavic
Ziva in re: to that fight, even a broken clock is right twice a day.
I meant in the top 4 defense…
here’s an interesting stat…on Index there is a poll to select the top 23 for Croatia…although I’m not surprised I think many will be that Schildenfeld is Croatia’s top 4 choice…

“THE FIX IS IN” and Ciro is the mastermind.
ha.
@ Ziva
Hajduk je kao moje babe loza, dok je ona za vrijeme sedandesetih kopala bila loza zdrava. Kad je baba ostarila I nije mogla kopati onda su loze krepale.
The more comical narrative about that France game is the threory that we lost on purpose. There are a good number of people who think Ciro and some of our players threw that game.
Suker finally did something right. How about that!
I forgot who was saying it was Bobans fault we lost against France in 98? Anyhow, here is Ciro talking about that match and blaming it on himself. Saying he should have subbed in Prosinecki sooner.

Looks like we will be wearing our checkered (home) jerseys for all three games. Supposedly we were to wear the blue (away) ones against Brazil, but Suker wrote a letter to fifa requesting it be changed to the checkered jerseys. Fifa granted him his appeal.

a lot of games being one by tose on the brhink of relegation. match fixing?
In a lot ways jadan i mali hajduk is like the USA.
Hajduk was once something, but has been destroyed by bad management and thieves over the years. Just like the United States of America, where liberals have destroyed this country.
@ Ziva
Sta ces brate tako je. Od kad sam se rodio uvijek je hajduk bio slab…
@ziva
Agree with the name.
I say I’m fine with it. In my opinion, it’s been those things since the day I was born.
I say I’m fine with it.
Friends,
I hate to do this, but it looks like I may have to give a new name to my beloved jadan i mali hajduk. Due to recent form, the name may have to be changed to jadan, mai i nemocan hajduk.
What say you croatiansports.com nation? More importantly, what say you Cico?
Igor Tudor made a complete ass of himself. Sramota to say the least. Hope he learns from this.
