It wasn’t pretty. Or exciting. Or even entertaining really, but Osijek managed to scrounge up a 2-0 in Andorra this afternoon.
Osijek will be pleased with the two-goal win in the first round of Europa League qualifying. Their opponents, Santa Colomo will now have to travel to the Garden City next week and come back from what may be an insurmountable deficit.
The match started with a heavy offensive line up for Osijek, featuring Gabrijel Boban, Muzafer Ejupi, and newcomer and former Lokomotiva top-goalscorer, Eros Grezda. Despite the three-man offense, no offense was generated. Passes went incomplete, missed, or just plain given away. Fouls were drawn with more fervor than goal scoring, and the general pace of the match lacked.
The second half sped up with a slight increase, but in the wrong direction. Santa Coloma had several attempts nearly on target, but were only just good enough to get the few in attendance to wake u from their evening siesta. Fortunately, it seemed like a beautiful day outside for those devout fans at the grounds.
Osijek finally made it on the board in the 80th minute when they were awarded a penalty shot, but it wasn’t the penalty that went in. No. The initial shot rang off the woodwork. It was Benedik Mioc who put in the rebound of the errant shot.
Osijek doubled the lead with a scrappy goal won by defender Andrej Lukic, who got his foot on a corner kick, but was saved by the goalkeeper. He headed in his own rebound for the second goal of the match in the 90th minute.
Despite its dismal quality, Osijek are sitting pretty with hops of reaching the second round of the qualifiers.

“There were multiple people in that convo.”
That’s right, and I did say at the start you should’ve addressed your comment to someone, but even at that point you kept attacking me.
You attacked me first, I was just defending myself.
How have you come to the conclusion that I’m a modern Croat?
so YOU the modern croat are the one who learned from Mamic not me.
why would I? You came after me, you don’t deserve such treatment. You should have asked who are you calling the weirdo, quite simple really.
@Idemo/Modern Croat/Yugo
“You’re a sicko you went either went back weeks or have my comments categorized hahahaha u r fucking sick have it at more paragraphs please you won’t get shit out of me anymore…….fuckin lunatic get a life”
Not at all, I was involved in another convo, when you told us all to “move the fuck on from this topic.” I got a good memory, you haven’t.
“Who said I was even calling you the wierdo hmmmmm?”
If you weren’t you would’ve let me know from the beginning of this thing you started, quite simple really.
Who said I was even calling you the wierdo hmmmmm? How do you know I wasn’t talking about Elvis and the truth and co? There were multiple people in that convo. If the shoe fits I guess. Once again projecting your own insecurities. Stop calling your self wierd man. Self love
You’re a sicko you went either went back weeks or have my comments categorized hahahaha u r fucking sick have it at more paragraphs please you won’t get shit out of me anymore…….fuckin lunatic get a life

Ethnicity –
the fact or state of belonging to a social group that has a common national or cultural tradition.
“Here religion is ethnicity.”
June 25, 2017 at 10:48 AM
You called me a “sick f**k” for posting a verse from the Bible to The truth, a verse you found offensive. A modernist can only find that offensive.
For arguments sake, let’s say you have Croatian nationality, a Serb can have that and speak the language, but they don’t belong to our cultural tradition, you don’t either. I believe you’re a Modern Croat (genuinely no offence), most Croats are these days!
“you’re probably the biggest fag on the internet u come on another post to make sly remarks behind a moniker….. whatever u want to call it ur just a cunt looking to argue”
May 23, 2017 at 10:35 AM
When you attacked me by calling me a “weird ass” person, were you just a guy that liked to “make sly remarks behind a moniker”?
@Idemo/Modern Croat/Yugo
Americanize –
make American in character or nationality.
Scum –
a layer of dirt or froth on the surface of a liquid.
Here’s how we’ll do it, you called me “Americanized scum,” show me how you came to that conclusion?
Then you will show yourself to be the idiot!
Or did you just write your 3rd grade level comment because you thought it would upset me?
You should know that most of the guys on this site are American in charachter and nationality.
Don’t beat around the bush, you clearly want to show that you’re the biggest Croat on the site. Make your case?
Sorry, I see know why you called me an idiot, you already have made your case.
You live in Croatia, you read Croatian, you speak Croatian, all things I wouldn’t have known if you didn’t tell me, so why did you tell me those things (by the way I don’t believe any of it)? Tell us more about yourself, or is that all you want me to know?
How long have you lived in Croatia now, since you moved there from America?
You know I wrote something out cursed you some more but then I Deleted it.
Since you’ve been writing me you’ve been 1/10 on your assumptions your are a fucking a idiot.
@Idemo/Modern Croat/Yugo
Are you trying to start a biggest Hrvat conversation?
Don’t beat around the bush.
Here, I’ll start it,
So you were born in Croatia (I don’t believe that), raised in America (I believe you were born there), you’ve gone back to live in Croatia, you speak the language, like your counterpart The truth you like bringing that up. The truth at least calls himself the biggest Hrvat openly, but you, you beat around the bush, why is that?
You’re a Modern Croat, that’s not up for debate.
Elvis says a Modern Croat is not a Croat.
Make your case?
“Ljeci si,” I did miss that, but thanks for bringing it to my attention. So after all The truth’s lessons you still made that mistake. But why correct that mistake only, you make a shitload of mistakes, but that one you want to correct, why is that? I know why, you care to share it with everyone?
Traditional Croat but can’t read Croatian HAHAHAHAHAHHAHA
Clearly I reposted it because I made – grammatical error you American fuck, sorry I can’t spell English properly unlike you I wasn’t born there 🙁

Should I translate that first part for you? Traditional Croat probably never stepped foot in Croatia. Get off my back “muppet” hahaha

You’ve got it all wrong you imbecile, you called me a weird ass person first, know you’re telling me to get of your back, you’re kidding aren’t ya?
Idemo says:
You need electro shock therapy to cure your disease you imbecile
July 9, 2017 at 7:47 AM
Four minutes later you came up with this gem! I could’ve come up with a comment like that in a lot less than four minutes, but you’re a balavac so four minutes is really good effort for you!
Idemo says:
Go give birth to same fake children like your counter part “the truth” ljeci si.

Looks like you still want to waste your time with me here!
Idemo says:
Go jerk off your Serb brother the truth
July 9, 2017 at 3:53 PM
You’re the homosexual, my understanding was that this post was your coming out of the closet. You attacked me because I posted that Bible verse to The truth, which was against homosexuality.
“Americanized scum”? I’m not American you imbecile, you are dopey.
@Idemo/Modern Croat/Yugo
“I know homosexuality is everyday topic for you, stop projecting your inner self here.”
Definitely not a homosexual. I’m a Traditional Croat you muppet, I hold traditional Croatian values, something you know nothing about, because you’re a modern Croat. If one of us was gay, it would be a modernist like you.
“Go on posting bible verses somewhere else you sick fuck”
I posted a Bible verse The truth needed to hear.
Romans 1:27
And, in like manner, the men also, leaving the natural use of the women, have burned in their lusts one towards another, men with men working that which is filthy, and receiving in themselves the recompense which was due to their error.
The word of God troubles all perverse hearts, just as it exercises pious hearts.
– Saint Augustine
Tractates on the Gospel of John 20:5
I can see that the word of God troubles you, as to the reason why, I wont tell anyone.
Go on posting bible verses somewhere else you sick fuck, I know homosexuality is everyday topic for you, stop projecting your inner self here.
@Idemo/Modern Croat/Yugo
You really are stupid.
exactly. You are the last person who should be saying something like that.
Go find a forum in real life just like the rest of them to spew your garbage
@Idemo/Modern Croat
You asked,
“y’all some weird ass people do y’all talk like this in real life”
And now you ask this!
“A sto te ja BZ i Soul tako zuljamo hmmmmm”
I used you, BZ and Soul Champ as an example of the way you talk and the language you use in real life when someone agrees with someone other than yourself about football, implying that you believe the language you use and the way you carry yourself is normal! Why am I not surprised that you couldn’t come to that conclusion on your own.
And because I said comments should be sports only, and my comments in RESPONSE to Elvis and The truth were not about sport, you say I’m the last person that should be saying something like that!
Look, most of you guys have a hard enough time talking about sport let alone serious issues!
Let me give you an example, the ability the The truth/Modern Croat has is making fun of people’s surnames, but the other day he was talking about Church teachings on homosexuality in a typical modernist way! But I as a Traditional Croat know that his interpretation is wrong, so I helped the guy out.
I’m sure you would agree that people shouldn’t be talking about things that are above their ability on a sports site?
A sto te ja BZ i Soul tako zuljamo hmmmmm
Carry the cross for the “foreign visitors” as you wish, but you my friend are the biggest contradiction
Ok, when a Serb comes onto the site pretending to be a Croat, then talks about wanting to rape & murder someone…not too much of a stretch to ask for a moderator. I am sure all Croats feel the same, that is not who we are.
@Idemo
I also said, one of the reasons I respond to those vile comments is, I don’t want any of our foreign visitors to think all Croats are the same.
Why did you leave that out?
@Idemo
So when BZ agreed with Soul Champ he was dick riding because he agreed with Soul Champ, or, because he disagreed with you?
“Now get off mine”
Just a thought, next time you ask a question moron, you might want to address it to someone!
Traditional Croatia
”
Like most of you guys, I would also like the comments to be about sport only!”
While two posts before he’s ranting about homosexuality and citing bible verses
You may be a walking contradiction but through my blah blah blah power of deduction I can see you are one
In closing you’re the last person who should be requesting comments be about sports only
Actually yes, when someone’s dick riding I call it how it is. A spade is a spade. Now get off mine
@Idemo/Modern Croat
“y’all some weird ass people do y’all talk like this in real life”
No.
What about you, when talking about soccer do you call people that don’t agree with you dick riders and say vile things to their face in real life, or only on internet forums?
My opinion is that you’re not a keyboard coward, and if you didn’t call people dick riders and other vile names in real life that would make you a keyboard warrior, so, using my powers of deduction, I would say you do. But what do I know, you may be a keyboard warrior?
In closing, you’re the last person that should worry about how others talk in real life.
Ana Konjuh with a nice upset of Cibulkova.
Lean times for (good) sports these days..

If it was bought recently through Apple then yes as Apple only sells unlocked phones at full price now
But if you got it on 2 year or some promo price through a career than it is locked…..as long as your Carrier unlocked you’re golden
…..y’all some weird ass people do y’all talk like this in real life
Modern Croat is not a Croat.
I could care less about foreign visitors. Stay away you Western European Cucks. The church failed it’s flock. It chose the path of least resistance. Homosexuality is a disorder period. The church is infested with it. Trump is better than Hillary Clinton that witch. Honor the Croatian family and nation!
I don’t like the English league and don’t want any Croatians in the EPL.
In other disturbing news Tottenham and Liverpool are showing interest in Kramaric, hope he stays at Hoffenheim.
@ Bobby V
Yes .
Did it last summer no problem.
Just go to VIP or some other mobile service store and get the chip put in.
@ Svima
We need some soul searching Croatian sport news to rally around.
I’d like to see Perišić with Man U on the USA tour.
Uvijek vjerni
Are all you Americans modern Croats, not trying to start shit, just curious?
Anyway, I’ve seen some vile racist comments on this site, but never anyone asking for a moderator after said comments!
I find that disturbing!
One of the reasons I respond to those vile comments is, I don’t want any of our foreign visitors to think all Croats are the same.
Like most of you guys, I would also like the comments to be about sport only!
Umm moderator? Shit just got weird, even for this site.
@truth troll. Now you are just embarrassing yourself. Just get lost lost. Your opinion and post is not warranted. Get lost chump!
@The truth/Modern Croat
Romans 1:27
And, in like manner, the men also, leaving the natural use of the women, have burned in their lusts one towards another, men with men working that which is filthy, and receiving in themselves the recompense which was due to their error.
The Church knows that homosexuality is unnatural, that it is filthy, it is a sin, but like Jesus Christ said to the adultress, “Go and sin no more,” showing that he condemned the sin, not the woman. So the homosexual at some point has to put a stop to his immoral behaviour.
You seem to me to be suggesting that there is nothing wrong with homosexuality, that’s perverse?
@ anonymous
So preaching from the teaching of the Good book is crap?! Shame on you
As for the church, it’s one holy and apostolic church. Blessed with authority from Jesus Himself
It is welcomed to see its more welcoming stance toward gays. We are all sinners and all in need of salvation. Shame to those who look upon homosexuals and judge forgetting the sins they carry themselves
As for the communism part, i ain’t down wit dat
@Elvis
You’re a funny guy!
It is not good that these things have gone on in the Church, but these things also go on in the world. Homosexuality is a sin, and even a gay priest can’t preach that it isn’t! In the world though, your leaders support it, so please, don’t pretend that you’re offended by some gay priests participating in “orgies.”
At the end of the day most of the participants of these “gay orgies” do not have the Catholic faith, they’re not Catholics. Like protestants that call themselves Christian, but in reality, they’re not!
However, I was disappointed that Pope Francis, when saying that “Christians don’t build walls” to Trump, didn’t prove that Trump actually isn’t a Christian, that would’ve been something!
Anyway, back to Trump.
1 Timothy 4:1
Now the Spirit manifestly saith, that in the last times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to spirits of error and doctrines of devils.
And they that are well instructed in the catholic faith know that God instituted marriage; and as the union of man and wife is from God, so divorce is from the devil.
– Saint Augustine
Tractates on the Gospel of John 9:2
So divorce is a doctrine of the devil. Trump has departed from the faith, but still calls himself a Christian! Elvis, this is your leader, what of his behaviour?
How many divorces has the adultererTrump had? Trump the moron was talking about strong family values and morals today in Poland Lol!
Truth Troll, take the advice many have given you here and beat it. Nobody wants you (or your other aliases you post crap under) here.
Hard to care about the church when members have gay orgies and orders are given by a communist pope.
@idemo – Do the Sim Cards work for Apple Iphones purchased in the US?
You guys should be ashamed of yourselves. as the biggest hrvat, i am also a churchgoer. And nothing that was said above resembles what is written in the Good Book
LOL, thats why Romanian men never marry or date serb women, it also explains why many serb men beat up their wives, theyre mostly just balkan turk trash leftovers from ottoman times, LOL
Siroki Brijeg, on to the next round in Europa!
And you know she would love it the whole time, and be very thankful, begging and deserving of a good piss on her afterwards as her cherry on top of her most excellent ice-cream.
yeah, I’d like to tie a dog collar on her and put her on a leash, gag her mouth with the tshirt and fk her in the ass all day, then dump her body somewhere, down a well on some serb farm near the macedonian border, have a good cigar and cold beer after.
I already told, get some other homo sporto 10yr olds to run this pointless joint, check out the serb bitch in the biggie tee, she’s probably looking to suck on the saggy nutsack of the niggers visiting Zagreb lately, you know, the ones who look confused when theres no 7-11, Krispy Kreme or KFC in the area, usually named Lafronda, Deshawayne, Lemawnd,Kerdelshayne etc, or those worse one named brazil mutants. https://zadovoljna.dnevnik.hr/clanak/street-style-brinete-u-nevidljivim-hlacicama—481975.html
Bobby
Not sure about that but u can buy these sims they have for tourists 5-10-20 gigs less than 100 kuna good for a week
Anybody know about renting a pocket size internet hotspot device in Croatia?
Man. Up 5-3 in the first lost 6-7
Was a break up in the second as well, totally had it, but she’s 21 and it looks good for her.
Cilic through as well should be a dub against the American to set up a Nadal QF
@Idemo- saw the result, lost in 3rd set 8-10…not bad vs 6 seed.
Konjuh won as expected. Wish someone would get her training on mobility to go along with her World Class power game.
And konta breaks back smdh
Donna vekic with a break in the first up 5-3 serving for the set
@Soul- that was a joke. I’ve seen Stipe give less powerful elbows, and that is saying something. It was damn near Ludicrous. There were a few calls in the 2nd half that made me take note. In the end, it was good a job as u can expect from a Serb.
Loved the VAR, but just like in NFL, the refs are too moronic to get it right (even with super slomo.)
I can’t even respond to the truth trolls idiocy and stupidity. Again ivy league my ass. Just shut the fuck up!
The truth troll with more bs, though, he did refrain from childish name calling for a post or two… I’m sure he’ll be back to his third grade full of crap self soon.
I mean, a montecarlo simulation for the sex of a child is really simple. We could effectively just flip a coin a thousand times. But I’ll save you the urine, the odds are 50/50
Ivy league school for a child is a tougher one. We may be able to enter in factors like patents income and education, geographic region, race etc….. But would be tough,
Did you do a montecarlo simulation for the sex of your “child” or what “ivy league” school he would do best in
serious question
Truth troll running “simulations”. Or what everyone else would call, playing fifa on his X-box
One of the reasons my montecarlo simulation gives Croatia less than fifty percent chances of qualifying is because they have played all their meaningful home games already. Now they must go to both Turkey and Ukraine on the road where there is a decent probability of emerging with no points. We already saw how they looked away at Iceland.
It’s now been 180 minutes in Iceland without Croatia scoring a goal… Or really even threatening one
Should bring in Halilovic and Coric.
The only injury I see keeping us from qualifying is a injury to Perisic, rest of them have interchangable performances for the NT…..maybe SUBA as well
VAR won’t survive, won’t be at WC
@ Svima
Did anyone notice Serbian referee NOT give red card for that
Chilean elbow to Timo Werner’s jaw?
After VAR … only yellow?
Hmmm …
Russia 2018 is going to be very interesting…
If our injuries keep mounting, we may struggle to qualify. Unlike zee/truth/anon says, it won’t be due to lack of quality.
@ jarac
Don’t be fooled by randomness. It is more indicative of Croatia just slightly above average quality that they are constantly in this predicament than the fact that they sneak in all the time. Them getting in so much has largely been good luck like hitting red on the roulette wheel three times in a row.
I re ran my montecarlo simulation earlier today, which once again gives Croatia a greater than 50 percent chance of missing the tournament
@anon, idemo and Jarac. Well said. I’m howling. Ya ivy league my ass! Where Harvard Med? Screw off truth chump. You lying piece of crap!!
@Troll whoops I mean truth
Dude are you a newb or what u just start following the repka?…..this happens almost every qualifying cycle with cro…..and almost every one we end up qualifying…yawn this is nothing new or outrage just typical click bait trash fake news….
I stopped reading at “sons Ivy League school”
So much wrong with that phrase.
1.no son
2.what women would procreate with you
3.you can’t afford it fam
4.2 again
Quite the imagination little truth troll has
Get lost truth troll. Ivy league. Haha. You’ve been listening again to the Thompson twins. Lie lies lies yeah!
Do you want a moderator or a censoror to create a safe space?
You remind me of many of those delicate darlings at my son’s ivy league school.
Once again, everything i say it’s true, but some just can’t handle it.
Croatia had a very real chance of not qualifying. And many people will say it’s because of the coach. It’s not. It’s because the talent level is such that not qualifying is well within the range of outcomes
When is this website going to grow up and get a moderator?
Go away truth troll!
I was thinking about the absolute meltdown that has a fairly decent chance of occurring the coming few months
CROATIA MAY NOT QUALIFY FOR THE WORLD CUP
I wonder what kind of justification the homers will find for this with all the “world class” players we have and “star potential” youth
I probably know….they’ll likely blame the coach again
rather than realizing that the quality of Croatian soccer is nothing that guarantees making a tournament
Germanys B team defeated Chile and also won the Confederations Cup which is weird. Even in 2002 World Cup we had a better team than Mexico we still lost 1:0 so we consistently play poorly in big crunch games.
Yup. Pretty much the same Mexico that got handled by Germanys B team last week and throttled by Chile 7-0 last year. We suck!
Still can’t get over how we lost to Mexico at World Cup 2014 3:1 with Modric Rakitic Mandzukic in a must win match. Yes we have stars who always play good for their clubs who are in the Champions League final regularly who win it or lose it but for Croatia nothing happens.
Donna Vekić was never supposed to be anything. She was a surprise in some tournaments when she first turned pro, but she was never seen as a future star.
Ana Konjuh was (and is) considered a future star in women’s tennis. She’s already in the top 30 and only 19 years old. Good for her.
Get the f out of here truth teoll moron. Nobody wants to hear your weak attempts at trash talking croatians herw.
Shut the fuck up truth troll! Your game has passed you by you chump!
Donna vekic seems to be making more headlines for her looks (her dress this time) than her tennis play. Seeming like more and more she might not reach that overhyped media youth potential. Probably especially distracted by her relationship. Ana konjuh seems like the more focused one
LOL, Whats with junior fernandes on dinamo these days, with his half yellow hair, tell him to add some pink green and purple too for a more exotic look, maybe some feathers and a bone in his nose to complete the look, he comes across looking not even remotely like a purger but more hungarian or polish, swedish too, like a swedish viking actually.
If your build it they will come …
Slavonija has talent like all parts of Hrvatska.
The club gets an infusion of cash and does not have to sell young talent to Dinamo prematurely then they will continue to grow as an additional resource for HNS.
@ soul champ
Don’t expect repka players from osijek. One every ten years
@ Zee
Come on. Do i have to hit you with the truth again?. Toljan is not playing for the repka. Give up the pipe dream. He has no interest. And the hns has no interest. Vacationing in split doors not qualify you to wear the checkers
Gotta try to get jeremy toljan into the fold. He looked good in the final. Germany will cap his ass though. They aint stupid.
Gold chain – check!
Gold ring – check!
Tattoo – check!
Jersey – check!
Veliki Hrvat – double check!!
You pass the test too Scarfacic.
I wear my gold chains to the matches and Cro soccer jerseys. All of our teams won’t go far just dont expect much.
Welp, good luck with that Eric
I want every Croatian team to win as many games as possible.
Deep runs in the Europa League, and Champions League help advance the Prva Liga, and inject much needed cash. It is great that Osijek won, and will most likely advance to the next round, but the first line of this article sums it up perfectly:
“It wasn’t pretty. Or exciting. Or even entertaining really”
I watched the game, and it was horrible. If this is the best Osijek can do, they won’t make it very far.
Let’s see Osijek make something happen!
Good people in Slavonija.
The better Osijek does the more national team players they will produce.
Nice to see Osijek win.
Thanks for the report, Colin.
