Although Croatia is surely playoff bound, even with a loss to Scotland on Tuesday, it will be interesting to see what lineup manager Igor Štimac comes up with as Ivan Rakitić has been ruled out due to injury and captain Darijo Srna returns from a yellow card suspension. 19 year-old Inter Milan midfielder Mateo Kovačić, Šime Vrsaljko and Igor Bubnjić will join the U-21 Croatian side in Lugano as Croatia’s mladi Vatreni take on Switzerland in a pivotal 2015 U-21 Euro qualifier. Both sides have been perfect thus far in qualifying. In their absence, Dinamo Zagreb’s Arijan Ademi and Hajduk Split’s Mario Maloča will take their place with the senior side in Scotland.
17 year-old Dinamo Zagreb whiz kid Alen Halilović has been excused from the senior side to join the U-17’s at the World Cup in UAE. They open up against Morocco on October 18th.
I didn’t have any expectations concerning that name, but then the more I was amazed.
The author did a terrific job, he reminded
me about the author that wrote this https://mo-cpr.org/10-ways-best-mobile-phone-contract/. I spent a couple of minutes reading and assessing the facts.
Everything is very clear and understandable. I enjoy posts that fill in your knowledge gaps.
This one is of the kind. Moreover, I like how the author organized his thoughts in addition to the visual part.
Wow, looks good, especially the conclusion. I was looking for that topic for a couple
of days throughout the nest, but there was nothing precious, only discovered this
https://restoringallthings.org/sample-essay-about-yourself/, but still so pleased to attain your
post in the end. I’m keen on that theme, and I want to
be always conscious of the latest news. That’s a
pleasure to read your article and finally clarify myself.
@ Iggy & Cico
you guys should create a sister portal for CSR and do commentary for NT games, big European games for Hajduk/Dinamo/Rijeka, etc. And you could do the games in English and broken Croatian! It would be a huge hit, IMO!
You would have my support!
@ chopper i was wondering that myself. i’m not totally sure ifhe was
Lol read in a Croatian article stimac hopes we get matched up against france in the playoffs if we make it.. My god we got one point in the last three matches and the way we are playing compared to how france is doing right now its like hes hoping for us to get embarrassed out there
@Igor Rukovic
“They are the luckiest football nation there is.”
You got that right!!
@ Igor – check out this article – Are you kidding me?

@ Iggy i Love U ! Your the Best !! Hajduk Lives Forever !!!
I’ve just visited bosna a few weeks ago, and they have propaganda commercials with a little girl correcting someone to call her a bosniak and not bosanka.
Fucken mujos smashed my relatives windows in bosna 2008 when the Turks fucked us out of a semi final berth.
I wouldn’t count the Greeks out just yet, they have a nack of snatching first place directly from others noses. They are the luckiest football nation there is.

Was Badelj called up for this game? I did not think he was.

here’s my line-up for tomorrow. i think this game means something in terms of getting positive momentum back, but it means nothing in terms of playoffs. it’s a tough decision but i don’t think its worthwhile to play any of the main guys (modric, mandzukic, corluka) who have yellows . the upside is too small, downside too great
@Bobby V
Yep, the Greeks get all the breaks.
They will draw Iceland for the playoff round. You heard it here first!
Own goal from Slovakia on Friday – look familiar?
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/sportvideo/footballvideo/10374676/Martin-Skrtel-scores-comedy-own-goal-playing-for-Slovakia-against-Greece.html
@imocan – I’ve been preaching for over a year now that Kranjcar is our only outside threat – who cares if he can’t run or play defense. Did Belgium seem more likely to score when he was in the game? Just the opposite – he changed the way Belgium defended and we got more chances because of it.
He can change a game with one shot. Until we get a forward who can shoot from outside the penalty area, play Kranjcar behind Mandzukic.
Gotta love BeIn Sport – very impressed with Ethiopia against Nigeria – totally outplayed them, but, lost – on an outside blast from Emenike (Fenerbache), which made me realize that I haven’t seen a goal like that from a Croatian forward in years.
@Iggy – any hot Croatian cougars in their 50’s you can set me up with down under?….and the next time you have link troubles, – email me. drazen11@comcast.net.
i dont get why everyone wants to protect krancjar from getting a yellow, and saving him for the playoffs…wen a week ago no one gave a shit if he played.
@Robert Valcic
have some faith u debbie downer
…and I can see them withdraw the complaint after they draw us.
Can you believe this bullshit? Cheated to get into the last World Cup and looking to do the same again?
Where was this complaint at the beginning of the qualifying round? It really doesn’t even make sense – teams can score points on FIFA’s list but can also lose more points.
They embarrassed the whole country in 2010 South Africa anyway. I’m sure Platini will waste his time fighting for this – what a joke,
http://sports.yahoo.com/news/france-fumes-over-world-cup-231600129–sow.html
@Ziva
According to Wikipedia the single yellow card would be erased prior to the play-off games and would not carry over.
http://is.gd/OytwXV
However, I find that a tad hard to believe because Corluka picked up a yellow card for us in our first encounter with Turkey during the Euro 2012 playoff and was unable to participate in our next game in Zagreb. The same applied to several Turkish players who ended up missing the game in Zagreb because the yellow cards carried over.
The rule might have been modified?
ahh just play a full B team imocan
dont even know if i’d bother wasting Kranjcar.. he looks in good form that kinky maccas eating cunt

I would love to see us play the French frogs in the playoffs. Don’t know if that’s possible with the seedlings of teams but I would prefer France.
1. We play better against better teams.
2. Nothing would please me more than having the “racist” hrvati sending Platini’s boys home
@Faux Cro
Not a bad lineup…but it would be foolish to play Modric, Corluka and Kranjcar due to their yellow cards. I would just sit them out as this game doesn’t mean much and we’ll need those guys in both playoff games. Heck I’d even sit Strinic and Schifo for their yellows, but then we’d pretty much have nobody left to play on the roster.
As for Perisic’s role in the Belgium game, Stimac had him at Right Wing for some reason. But he also had Vrsaljko at Right Midfield doing the job of making runs and crosses up the right side, so you can imagine why Perisic was lost out there.
But even though it wouldn’t be the end of the world if we played Perisic against Scotland, it would take MAJOR balls to play him again due to that giveaway last game. In every interview, Stimac paints Perisic’s giveaway as the ONLY reason why we lost.
But anyway, the worst thing that can happen in this game is not a loss, but rather a yellow card or injury to one of our key players. Even if we don’t draw France, we’ll need a full strength squad to be able to take out a team like Sweden, Ukraine, or even Romania.

Kranjcar and Jelavic should be accustomed with playing with SPL ,Championship level players.
WTF was Perisic doing in the middle of the pitch during the Belgium game?
@Ziva
Worse coach manager between Stimac or Mihajlovic?
Hard to say…but at least we saved ourselves some money. Mihajlovic is being paid 300,000 Euros for his gig, lol.
KEEP BELGIUM TACTICS THE SAME!
I posted this the other day. I felt it worthwhile to post again. I actually thought Croatia played fine against Belgium and had some of their best offensive flow in qualifying, which would only be improved with Srna pushing up the wing rather than Vrsaljko.
The numbers back it up. With the most shots on goal Croatia has had (with the exception of Osijek Wales) during this qualifying. Considering the quality of the opponent, i think this is significant.
Opponoent Shots On Goal Possession

Actually Cico would do well with this crew and would be the best candidate.
Obitelj Kranjcar to the rescue!
@ Ziva Stimac wants France in Playoffs!
“I think we are all being too hard on Stimac”……………said nobody.
Who is the worse coach/manager: Strucnjak Stimac or pola hrvat Mihajlovic?????
While, I don’t think we will lose tomorrow, but can you imagine the meltdown on this baord if it were to happen. Friday was a fun day in reading all the post-game commentary. Tomorrow would surpass that.
Man the coach is 50 percent of the problem remember we wanted Bilic fired 2011 also. i think we over rate Modric and company, too much hype is not good. its just not working out its sad that our back 4 is also a problem they dont know how to read the game and the tandem Lovren Corluka tandem looks lost.Together Simunic its sad we still depend on him at 35. Sifo looked good at euros and most of the time but Stimac dosent see it. i dont know anymore maybe wait for the youth to grow up.What happens in Croatia is a young player gets sold too young and gets lost and it affects the National team. Lets see what happens.
Halilovic is a waste of a much needed bench player. Don’t be sad that he got dropped. He might be good with his current age group, but he’d be put into the ground with the big boys of the next level.
Januzaj talk is just that, talk. No way the kid is coming to play for us. We don’t have enough money to give him and his family to come play for us.
Head. 25 concrete walls.
Re: this comment from Matesic Metod:
“I would take a world class any day of the week and twice on Sunday. But you know we cannot and should not pay for that when our people suffer in economic depression.”
Honestly, many cannot argue with this statement, it is absolutely true…BUT then why are we paying Stimac $250K? and why are we declining the $100K from EA Sports (or whatever the amount is) for the rights to include Croatia in their games?
That right there is $350K worth of lost dollars for our poor country.
I’m sure there are additional revenue streams these seljaci can create if they want to think a bit harder. Heck, I’m sure there are some in place, but that money is off the books and is just lining their pockets. Where did the cash from those two Korea friendlies in London and Seoul go?
There are plenty of countries that are in decline right now that have actual experienced coaches that are being paid marginally more than $350K per year. Now I’m not saying that everyone should go into further debt, but at the same time I hate giving the HNS this excuse to not even ‘try’ to put together a candidate list of coaches and work a tad bit harder to find a coach with ‘some’ experience. You could be surprised at who is available.
@Matesic Method
These things you’ve said about Niko Kovac can also be said about Bulgaria’s Krasimir Balakov. He was a winner and captained Bulgaria to their greatest feat ever. He was a star and a leader at Stuttgart for many years as well, even becoming a player coach right after he retired…but his leadership and captaincy didn’t translate as a head coach. He didn’t do well at St Gallen, Chernomorets, Hajduk, nor Kaiserslautern…and now he is unemployed.
I agree with both you and Armada. I think we all feel that Niko is a winner both on and off the field, and that he definitely has potential. Even though he has little head coaching experience, he’d still be an upgrade to what we have right now, and probably better than the list of Maminho’s candidates after Stimac is canned.
I wish the HNS woulds still do their due diligence and actually have a formalized coaching selection process by reaching out to many coaches and shortlisting candidates for interviews…but we know this won’t happen. Ideally Kovac would come in the future and not be ‘tested’ in Senior NT games, but we have to understand the situation the HNS is in…and it’s in Super Mamic Bros World.
@Billy – there you go spelling that last name correctly again! So, when are you going to announce who you are really?
Can’t wait to use that line when they announce who Croatia plays next Monday. haha
@Bobby V
It looks like I’m buying my playoff tickets for………..
EA SPORTS!!!!!!
🙂
I’m disappointed Stimac sent Halilovic to the junior team.
This would have been the perfect time to throw the kid into the game and put an official end to this drama.
It could be over a year before this kid ever steps onto the field for Croatia in an official game.
Maybe they should accept the money from EA Sports and use it to pay for a slot in a nursing home for Stimac.
Game tomorrow at 3PM eastern time – USA. Already feels like a friendly.
@ Matesic
You make an excellent point in all that, in which your view does in fact win the debate:
“I would take a world class any day of the week and twice on Sunday. But you know we cannot and should not pay for that when our people suffer in economic depression.”
Ideally, some world class (or hell.. close to world class) manager would be nice (and needed), but as you mentioned – realistically – the goons at the savez would never drop the kune on some top notch coach …
In our realistic world, with the current goons in place, our best option would in fact be Niko Kovac.. and if my the miracle of bog, Stimac is somehow fired/relieved/etc. I think out of the group of Ciro, Cico, Bilic, Jurcic, Kek, whatever HNL coach – Might as well bring in Kovac and his brother.
@ Armada
Either you got it or you don’t.
Niko has been a field general his whole career.
His Bayern education is enough for me.
Appreciate the positive acknowledgment but I am performance specialist at heart and Kovac is cut from the champion pedigree.
I would take a world class any day of the week and twice on Sunday. But you know we cannot and should not pay for that when our people suffer in economic depression.
Kovac is the type of dude you call on when shit needs to get done. We need to get our takent to gel into a world beating program. ” Go Hunter Hawks!”
@ Chupe
Couldn’t have said it better.
Lol @ iggy’s meltdown in this thread haha.
Niko Kovac was the coach under Bilic euro 2008 just look at what happened when he left. we still dont have a dm its been 5 years. we have no true cbs no lb no wings nad no true number 9 aswell the fact that we get by is a miracle lets look at it another way.MAYBE WE JUST ARE NOT THAT GOOD OF A TEAM.
http://msn.foxsports.com/foxsoccer/world/story/croatia-enters-bidding-for-manchester-united-star-januzaj-101013
@ Matesic
Dude, I know you’re Mr. Positivity, a Soul Champion and a Hunter grad (which is the most important of all) 😉 and you’re positive spin on a lot of these bleak issues is refreshing, however…
but what has Niko Kovac done, from a coaching perspective, to warrant being named manager of a top 15 NT?
Be the Assistant Coch at Red Bull Salzburg? Manage the Croatia U-21’s for a few months?
Sorry, not good enough in my book.
Not to take anything away from Niko’s playing career or the potential for him to be a great manager one day, but at this point in time – it wouldn’t be the right fit. Our NT manager position should no longer be the proving ground for rookie coaches (Bilic, Stimac and now Kovac maybe) to figure things out.
You talk about us being stuck in mediocrity? And having the right mindset? When you hire a top notch coach, (Croatian or not) that sends a message to everyone – a manager who knows what the fuck he’s doing is in charge and running the ship – not rookies or mafioso’s who don’t know wtf they’re doing half the time (Bilic, Stimac, potentially Kovac).
I really hope Niko continues to develop and becomes the greatest coach we ever had – but let him grow a bit more.
Bravo Niko Kovac man the young players all listen to him nice.
@Iggy here you can see the goals:

@ Iggy
Time to channel the eternal Croatian Hunter and bag some nice Aussie picka!
Then you will find live streaming links to all the matches.
@ Svi Hrvati
Please tell me you are ready for Niko Kovac to take all of our talented parts and put together a Mercedez Benz to drive us to Brazil.
He should coach both teams and have his brother Robert be his assistance.
We would organized from the back and he would let the offensive players attack with creativity.
Lets get into Brazil make into the second round, win Euro U21 2015 and take Euro 2016!
Time to drop the second class citizen mentality and own our place along side Europe’s elite.
This is why I dislike Zagreb as they are stuck in the malaise of mediocrity. You know we have a History of being very innovative: Pencil, Neck Tie, Modern Psychology (Marko Marulic). We are the most educated poorest nation in Europe. Time for the people to access the King energy within and take care of all the Croatians in the KIN-dom!
@Armada
that is exactly what i mean
anyway, any youtube vids of the goals ??

hmm, i don’t know then. The link works perfectly fine for me. Maybe your computer is fucked up or something. Or your ISP is blocking illegal streams, idk.
goodluck sir, hope you can watch the game tomororow.
IF anything you could try to get saan.tv and watch it on HRT2. It’s not expensive.
the U21’s are looking great
Iggy, any luck?
i think it’s actually worse with a webproxy
then it doesnt even load the pictures on the html
use the link with a proxy then?
im doing that
i turned adblock off even cos i thought that might be the problem
but yeah, of course i do that already.. it isn’t a browser issue
it might be a location issue tho
@iggy, what browser are you using? Try firefox with adblock plus plugin installed.
@CroRupt – it doesnt work
cheers anyways dude. mad cunt
@cro rupt nah man no go ay

ANON
WHAT FUCKING CHANNEL
its great it works for you guys but nobody has told me where to click from the channel ffs
@Iggy………what is the issue. I am watching without any problems.
Come on Iggy I linked you to the game before it even began! It’s not a USA only link or anything. Yes there are annoying ads you have to close to get the video to show but you can then watch it full screen (it’s not perfect and it hangs at times but at least it works)
I watched most of the first half and saw the goal off the free kick using this link:
http://www.prvaliga.net/p/stream4.html
atdhe works for me…
Friends, consider this a courtesy warning for those of you who have family and friends in BiH.
Tomorrow night could be a huge party in BiH for those who back their national team. It will probably be the biggest celebration that country has even witneeded. So, if you have family and friends in areas where there are “Bosniaks” (i’ll never understand that term), tell them to stay indoors and not go outside.
1. That may be celebratory bullets flying around
2. Seeing BiH celebrate may anger hrvati because we have to watch our team fail.

You said:
“Yellow cards are wiped before the playoffs, so it won’t matter if anyone gets a yellow tomorrow.”
However:
If Nikica Jelavić, Luka Modrić, Ognjen Vukojević, Vedran Ćorluka, Gordon Schildenfeld, Ivan Strinić, Eduardo, Niko Kranjčar, and Mario Mandžukić were to pick up a yellow card tomorrow in the Scotland game they would have two yellows accumulated and would not be able to play in our first playoff match.
yeah i guess im an idiot
thinking croatiansports.com could link me to, oh, i dont know, croatian sports..

let’s look at the game.. 1-1 in brussels..
and would have been 1-1 if perisic didn’t make that ridiculous backpass..
some of u guys are carrying on as tho we are australia (6-0, 6-0).. cmon.. give it a rest.. jesus..

Got some firepower out there….this team can make a run at the Euro title in 2015…
@ Ziva
LOL Did Stimac actually say he wanted to play France?
Oh man, If that’s true, then it’s only because it puts him in a win-win situation just as I was saying before. If Cro wins, he looks like a superstar. If Cro loses, then it’s nothing to be ashamed of as it is France.
Stimac gets to wash himself clean with the golden opportunity to say that Belgium was the superior team and that finishing at least second in the group stages was an attained goal….and that we were unfortunate to draw France in the playoffs, and losing out to the World Cup against Belgium and France is nothing to be ashamed of.
I hope we draw Iceland…and win on a bogus penalty shot away goal rule. I get my team in the World Cup, but Stimac still looks like a fool.
thankls nepoznat.. game starts in 10 mins..
links are available on FR.. i will watch, thanks for reminding me man ‘ppreciate it
I mean for today’s U21 game vs Switzerland
FYI according to Sportska TV this will be a stream for the game:
http://www.prvaliga.net/p/stream4.html
@Ziva
simple question then to make it easy for u
forget the Scotland game, let’s move forward to playoff..
without putting conditions on it, do u want us to win or lose
(and dont answer with, oh well if such and such happens i want point (c) to happen),
just tell us if u want our team to qualify for WC or not ?
Why do you care what I want????
I want Strucnjak Stimac gone. That is what I want. And, if that means we miss the World Cup, then I am prepared of that as well.
I want these guys who run the savez to be ashamed and embarrassed. So, whatever it takes for them to be forced out.
By the way…….where are the Rakitic lovers. All last week I kept reading from some of you how he was going to have a great game. You know, when the US was playing Mexico, guess who scored when it mattered. Yep, Donovan.
Where has Rakitic been the last few games against Scotland, the serbs and last week.
Also…..have you guys heard Stimac’s latest comments………now he wants France in the playoff. I told you guys last week before the game against belgium that Stimac would be defiant towards the bitter end. Well, this is now turning into a comedy….well, comedy for me, it might be nighmare for some of you Stimac apologists.
FYI:
Yellow cards are wiped before the playoffs, so it won’t matter if anyone gets a yellow tomorrow.
Jesus this is now getting confusing, what split personality do u have ziva..
so..
to quote u:
“@Iggy…………from a savez perspective, they should be careful about putting a game in Split for the reasons I mentioned. The crowd will be looking for a reason to turn on the team.
Now, as a fan, I would love to see the game in Split because I wouldn’t mind seeing the drama that would take place if things went bad. The crowd in Split would turn on Stimac so quick.”
IS it possible you have an opinion of your own, or not ????
What is YOUR OPINION, or are we stuck with savez view from you at all times???
Have the guts to say what your opinion is without backin it up up with what HNS does or doesn’t want etc ????
Stop piking, tell us what YOU want to happen coward ?
Either u want us to get smashed with an aggressive crowd or you dont, im sick of your half-in, half-out shit. DO YOU WANT THE GAME IN SPLIT OR IN ZAGREB???
DO YOU WANT US TO WIN OR LOSE??
And don’t answer with, “oh well if so and so controlled the HNS..”
Just answer it according to yourself you wanker.

Stico: Nothing is wrong
Niko: We’re in crisis
I mean… CSR as a whole jokes on Niko and all that fun stuff, but he’s probably one of the more intelligent, well spoken dudes on the NT, plus with 80 caps, dude has been around the block once or twice… I just hope there is an option of us making the playoffs and then the public, players, media, etc. turning up the heat on Stico to leave.
opps….the above post was me.

To me it appears a lot of you are surprised why the repka is having a bad reaction in Cro. I wonder if you guys followed this whole mess for the last few years within the savez.
@ Kvartuc
I’d do the same. We can and should beat Wales without those guys… And if we don’t, again, we don’t deserve to get some help from other teams to make the playoffs and don’t deserve to be at Brazil.
We made our own bed with this mess (whether you want to blame Stimac, the players, the savez, etc.) and it’ll be soon time to lay in that bed.
AJMEEEEEEE MENI NIJE MI DOBRO, AJMMMME MENI NIJE MI DOBRO
Stop spamming your twitter that nobody cares about.
I asked you basic questions.
1)”Bit confused on why u wouldnt want playoff at poljud ziva.. u said it would be bad because fans would turn against the team, stimac, hns et al, did I miss something ? Havent u spent all of recent times praying for just that?”
You said u want the fans to
a) not show up
b) show up and boo
c) have banners attacking stimac, hns, et al
then you say u dont want a playoff game placed in split because
a) fans will turn on the team too quick and
b) jeer, boo the team
c) express their disgust with hns/stimac at a match
umm.. what the fuck ? which is it you kinky little fagfucker?
this was 3-4 posts above..
you were screaming like a fag with a cock up his arse about how much u want repka to be slammed and abused, then u said u dont want hajduk as a city to host because they might be harsh.. explain it (in light of the above links) my furry lil fagball of a friend ?
All you do so far is ignore every question, and THEN say “send me questions”.. lol.. cmon ziva.. own up to the questions u kinky balding bag of balls
what questions do you want answered? I’ve said it before, so I apologize for repeating myself, but if you wish to carry on the conversation when I am away from this website you can do so by engaging me on twitter (@ziva_istina). I’ve yet to fully embrace twitter, but will do my best.
Who wants to bet Ziva never answers any of my comments from the last two threads?
So far he has said he wants HRV to be abused my the public, that he wants the fans to boo the team,etc, and now he doesn’t want a single playoff game in poljud because “that might hurt the teams progress”.. i mean what the actual fuck ?
Ziva, can u make some sense of this ??? Wtf do u want ???
@ Ziva
I would rather have nas Splicani cursing their assess off then a depressed and empty jugo relic in Maksimir.
At least Poljud will be entertaining. Cause the football has been WACK!
Ovo je za nas vrlo važan rezultat i veselimo se daljnjim turnirima, te se nadamo da ćemo izboriti priliku igrati na završnom turniru u Londonu – rekao je Međugorac Dodig!!
Mislim da Dodig zasluzuje objavu i posvetu na CroatinSports

yah..
So how sure are we of getting thru ?
I wouldnt rest players unless it’s basically a certainty.. it seems like it is ??? In that case i would rest everyone on a yellow.. and play our B team..
(worked for them before)
i don’t think we’ll win this game 3-0.. actually, i’d be hugely surprised (and pleasantly so) if we did.. i suspect a more modest victory or even tie.. 2-1 to us or 1-1..
Also, Ziva, you never answered my question in the other thread, i cannot work out what you want. You said u want the fans to
a) not show up
b) show up and boo
c) have banners attacking stimac, hns, et al
then you say u dont want a playoff game placed in split because
a) fans will turn on the team too quick and
b) jeer, boo the team
c) express their disgust with hns/stimac at a match
umm.. what the fuck ? which is it you kinky little fagfucker?
@imocan,
Damn, I thought that was me too. you have a good eye. I would have watched this video and missed it.
There are very few positives to come from the Scotland game.
We are already in the playoffs so the game is really only good to build confidence and build chemistry with a particular lineup prior to the playoffs. However, we have too many key players with yellow cards that we would be foolish to risk. So, even if we win, it would be with our bench players (ie. Jelavic, Kalinic, etc), who would likely not even see any time in the playoffs anyway.
@ imocan
It looks like it’s Denis at 4:10. How the hell did you see that?

@4:10 denis svircic?
are badelj and rebic injured?
I’d give Modric, Mandzukic and Corluka all the day off. One stupid yellow and they sit out the first playoff game.
That’d be dumb….
Let’s see what chief Stimac does…
is Rebic called up, for playing with the u-21’s?
2-0 olic and krancjar
my lineup for skotska
………………..Kalinic………………
…..Olic…………..Krancjar……….
…………..Modric……………Srna.
…………………….Vukojevic……..
…Lovren…………………………….
………..Maloca…..Sifo……Vida..
…………….Pletikosa………………
Modric is smart enough to not get a yellow card, dont trust the rest.
Poor Jelavic. Looks like Lukaku will be punking him the rest of the season at Everton.
“Losing Jelavic to yellows would be addition by subtraction”
hahahahahahahahahahahaha
losing Corluka, Modric, Mandzukic and Kranjcar to yellows would be big losses……Losing Schifo, Strinic and the brazilian to yellows would be a loss……..Losing Jelavic to yellows would be addition by subtraction.
FYI
Vedran Corluka, Luka Modric, Mario Mandzukic, Niko Kranjcar, Nikica Jelavic, Gordon Schildenfeld, Ivan Strinic, Eduardo and Ognjen Vukojevic are all on yellow cards and will miss the first game of the play-off if they are cautioned against Scotland.
game might be in Split, but the crowd won’t be 100% behind the team, even if sold out. They will look for a reason to boo, jeer and whistle…..and if you think I am making things up, then you don’t know anything about how the fans from dalmacija feel about the saves……..some of these players are mental midgets and will shit themselves in Poljud.
November game better be in split!!
Interesting article with Halilovic’s dad.
http://sportske.jutarnji.hr/tata-halilovic-otvoreno—alen-je-mamicev-mezimac-jer-ce-mu-zaraditi-deset-milijuna-eura-/1132631/
Glad to hear our young talent will all get a good run out.
Kranjcar back and need to give Jelavic some minutes to rough up the Scottish defense.
Srna will want to reassert his presence. I can see a magical free kick.
Strinic is lively on the left.
Vukojevic will lay the wood and free up Modric to advance further up the pitch.
Has to be at least one goal from Mandzukic, Olic or Eduardo.
2-0 Hrvatska.
On to the play-offs!
By the way, I would rather be in Split in November then playing with cold ass rain in Zagreb at an empty Maksimir. Poljud would be packed !
Ajmo Vatreni !
This was the right decision. He should never had been called up to the senior side to begin with. Hopefully Halilovic will impress in UAE.
Halilović ne ide u Škotsku: Štimac ga prepustio kadetima
