Merry Christmas — Sretan Božić CroatianSports.com Nation; from our family to yours! It’s been another amazing year with you all through sharing content, talking shop, and of course grilling each other in the “Comments” section. 🙂
We love you all and look forward to running it back in 2023! Merry Christmas!
All’s I know is I want to see gvardi and majer wear masks one day for a Batman and robin combo!!
Majer to Real Madrid for 60 mil euros?
https://gol.dnevnik.hr/clanak/rubrika/nogomet/transferi-lovro-majer-ide-u-real-madrid-za-60-milijuna-eura—758482.html?itm_source=HomeReadThis&itm_medium=Dnevnik&itm_campaign=Naslovnica
I just don’t know
May be too big too much pressure right now?
Maybe not
Of course the training and development would be great
But as we know Madrid is probably the toughest nut to crack
Like Kova did fine there and maybe if he went back he would be a regular starter
I’m sure if luka didn’t think it was good for him, he would probably let him know
I just hope Madrid he is not thinking this is automatic new LM10 look alike cause majer is good I think we can all agree but is he ready for Madrid good at this point??
I want to see him play as well need him to properly take over after euros for sure
We all know luka is gonna hang around to euros if fit
But his work load needs to be lessened
Hoping broz can stay fit and healthy for one more go in 2026
Kova to lead the midfield with majer becoming the next heir and sucic should be close to prime in 3.5 years if develops right
Could you guys see a sucic move to Leipzig at some point? Better squad harder league. Just the right development step??
Does Leipzig and Salzburg sell between each other or just loan out cause same ownership?
And I don’t know 60 mill? I know it’s inflation but I don’t think he is worth 60 mill currently??
I thought Madrid besides the hazard fiasco are normally overall pretty frugal with their offers for who they are
But what do I know
I hope he can go and be a stud and a half
I prefer Majer to go to Spain or Italy. He’s better suited there than in England.
Kovacic likes to run more, so he fits better in EPL. Not sure if Majer’s skills would be as appreciated in EPL as they would in Serie A or La Liga.
I would love for all our players to go to Real.
Modric is there to guide them, and the league is good for them.
If Madrid didn’t have such a glut of CBs, I would love for Gvardiol to go there along with Majer.
Do you think he is ready??
I think a move like an interwould be good but no way those cheap Italians would pay that;)
I’m not sold on Majer being a Modrić replacement (I see him as being too similar to Žuti or Kranjčar)…but at the same time, I didn’t expect him to tear up the French league so quickly either.
Unlike Kovačić, Majer kind of has that IDGAF look about him that results in him taking more charge of his situation (whereas Mateo always takes multiple years to settle in, both for club and country).
I think with Modrić there, it would help Majer alot.
I think he’d do great in Serie A but no team in Serie A would pay that transfer fee, and I absolutely do not want him in EPL. Juventus might do it, and I think he would do well there…but they’re going through some scandal right now.
La Liga makes sense, but Atletico don’t really play a good style (and I hate Simeone).
I wouldn’t mind taking the risk to see what would happen at Real. I have a feeling he’d surprise us again.
To all my cro bros we all know for the last 25 years our vatreni have been getting fucked royally by fifa..refs ..their conformist fucks I don’t know what to say..other than let’s be honest with ourselves as an ancient beautiful croatian culture that will continue to be fucked over by communist style mentality for a fucken game..Big countries lare barely held together..so a soccer trophy unites these fake countries but our hrvataka has always been real..
Joe Sakic was over looked in his junior hockey days..junior A..and when he finally reached higher leagues..farm teams for the NHL.. did they realize ..he’s not far from Gretzky talent.HE was apologized to ..for being over looked.Back in the day ..your last name had to end in son ton or smith ..so Sakic was over looked just like our vatreni..who should already have a worldcup win..this world’s sick.white on white crime exists..
wow you are annoying. samo seres
Come on, lived Salic but he ain’t no 99.
How was he overlooked? Drafted in the 1st round.

look at Lovren at 0:44 | he was absolute shit!
no wonder many people celebrate Christmas
You are an asshole. Go back to your mother’s basement.

I’ve never been his biggest fan as a soccer player, but this interview shows his human side and what makes him tick. It’s kind of long, but worth it. Kapu do poda Dejane…..
Yes, full respect for him
I hope the young guys can keep this fire….
I think they can from stories and examples
Let’s just hope the commies keep their filthy hands away from the repka the love for the checkers
Dalic is a key role to keep this passion
He’s a true Croat.
The guy was part of our defensive duo that got us two medals and was part of a third World Cup. This website is the only one where a handful of losers post immature stuff about him.
Sramota. 👎
this politically correct Croatia is dangerous for the countries survival- it’s an absolute disgrace for us to forget the war and what Croatians soldiers and civilians did to win- Lovren is right – you are with us or against us – there is no middle ground- good for Lovren to make it clear as hell. Hvala Lovren
Bravo…well said! 👏
IIHF World Junior Hockey championship starts today.
Thomas Milic is a Croatian / Canadian goaltender. Canada has not decided on a #1 goalie yet.
Milic went undrafted in the NHL entey draft, but is already playing ahead of two Canadians in his birthyear that did get drafted. The other Canadian goalie was also drafted, but his numbers in the OHL this year are not good. Milić is doing well for Seattle in the WHL, so lets hope he gets the nod and plays well.
Canada is favoured to win; however, Finland, USA, and Sweeden are all good teams and can not be counted out /understimated. Therefore, it is an opportunity for Milic to get valuable experience, more exposure, and to potentually be a deciding difference maker.
Ya I saw his name on the list a couple weeks ago but was too World Cup crazy of course
From Coquitlam
Close to where I was raise
Same with Burnaby Joe Sakic
Lots of Croats and Serbs played strong levels of hockey from the Lowermainland of British Columbia
Go get me young man
Yeah, no doubt.
I was told by the former head coach of Croatia national mens ice hockey team that based on IIHF rules, you need to live in croatia for two years (even if you have dual citizenship) before you can play for the national team.
I bet Croatia’s ice hockey team would be much better if it wasn’t as strict.
Perišić going the full 90 for Spurs, 9 days after 3rd place finish at WC.
Dude is a stud.
Certainly is
Let’s see if conte deploys him in a striker type role going forward
I think they only did it cause Son was injured tho?
I know I sound like a broken record with this but I feel we should deploy Ivan in more of a central forward role
Orsic has proved himself and needs to be on the pitch more
I agree – it couldn’t hurt to try!
Given our numerous options on the back line, and coupled with alternate formation possibilities there, I think the team is better served with Perišić up top vs LB if we are going to be moving him around.
Sretan Bozic svima.
Wishing all fellow Croats a Merry Christmas.
Just like the watch parties, it’s great to have somewhere to “chat” with fellow Hrvati, whether we agree or not on who our striker should be in the next World Cup. 😉
@Ante…I’ve found Karlovacko and Ozjusko at https://www.totalwine.com/ in the MidAtl region. You might have luck with them in LA, especially with better shipping laws in CA.
Appreciate that! Will pass it along to the team. 🙂
Sretan Božić svima!

Croatian Version of the Night before Christmas
‘Twas the night before Bozic and all through the kuca,
The zrak smelled of spicy sarma and rakija vruca.
By the dimnjak the slapice were hung kinda krivo,
In hopes that Sveti Nikola would soon bring some pivo.
Tata was in his soba and was snoring pretty hard,
Tired from stealing the drvo from our susjed’s backyard.
Mama was in the podrum cooking like a budala,
She was making some juha and rum-filled baklava.
When out on the lawn there arose such a galama,
Tata yelled from his soba, “Pa koji je kurac vama?!”
There was a kucanje on the front vrata with such a loud barrage,
I yelled through the prozor, “This is a Croatian house, come in
Through the garage!”
And standing in the garaza right next to my car,
Was my drunk Tetak Joza coming home from the bar.
“Ajde, odi spavat,” I told him with might,
Don’t pokvarit my chances of seeing Sveti Nikola tonight.
About two sati later I heard a buka downstairs,
So I jumped from my krevet to see who was there.
Standing by the drvo and eating some leftover pizza,
Was good ol’ Sveti Nikola reeking of homemade sljivovica!
He was all dressed in crveno and big as an ox,
And wore some smede sandale along with crne socks.
Smelling like a cigan that’s been drinking for days,
He wasn’t what I expected, I was actually amazed.
“U pizdu materinu, kako mrzim ovaj posao,” he said,
And then muttered something about his zena and how he wished she was
Dead.
He put the presents under the drvo while whistling a Bozic beat,
They were wrapped up kinda shitty with paper bags from 49th Street.
12 carape for me and 12 for my brother,
3 pairs of gace for my dad and turska kava for my mother.
This Croatian Santa was pokvaren – he was nothing like the fable,
I should have known it when he swiped my pack of cigarete from the
Table.
I yelled, “Hey!”, as Sveti Nikola turned around like a car,
Throwing his slapa at me as if it were a ninja star.
The look in his eyes was nothing but fright,
He said, “Jebo ti pas mater!”, and dashed out of sight.
Up through the dimnjak I heard a loud shriek,
Sveti Nikola had just prdnuo like some wild bik.
He got in his kaput, made for hladne zime,
And he yelled at his jelene, ime Po ime.
“Naprijed Marko I Darko, Petar I Ante,”
“Ajde Josip I Vinko, Ivo I Mate.”
And then he yelled, “Ajdemo brzo, moramo poc,”
“Sretan Bozic svima I svima laku noc!”
Sretan Bozic!
Sretan Božić svima!
Ante, thanks for all that you do with this site and bringing us all together.
Bog!!
My pleasure my man….sve najbolje! 🙂
Stetan Bozic to all my Croatian brothers out there
Let’s be grateful for what the lord has given us
Sretan Bozic svi hrvatima. Love you all! ❤️
Sretan Božić Svima !!
Bog i Hrvati
May Sveti Nikola give us the gift of a world class striker who hunts goals like he hasn’t eaten in a week!!
Zlatan Ibrahimović twin is out there somewhere. Ne mogu cekaj!
LOL. I would trade all of my Christmas gifts to make that happen.
Sretan Bozic. You guys do a great job with the site.
Ante Merry Christmas to you and everyone at Croatian Sports. Thank you on a great job. Merry Christmas also to all the Croats around the world on this site.
