Erling Haaland may have scored a hat trick for Man City on Saturday, but there is no hotter striker in Europe than Rangers’ own Antonio Čolak. Čolak scored two more goals Saturday in a 4-0 victory over Ross County. The brace now brings the Croatian fringe #9 to seven goals in seven games; which includes the decider versus PSV Eindhoven to bring Rangers back to Champions League football. Čolak and Rangers face hated Scottish rivals, Celtic, next week in their most important league match of 2022. But at this rate, how can Dalić not start Čolak for at least one Nations League match against Austria or Denmark at the end of September?
After only scoring one goal at West Ham United last season, Nikola Vlašić is already off to the right start in Italy with loanee club, Torino. Vlašić got his first start for Torino on Saturday and was credited with the game’s opening goal — even though many websites marked it as an own goal. Vlašić got a slight volley on the ball, and it would have crossed the goal line, but a Cremonese player got the last touch. Good to see Vlašić on the board so early in the season as Torino won the match 2-1.
Josip Juranović added a goal to Celtic’s tally on Sunday as they absolutely demolished Dundee United 9-0. It was a low, well placed shot following a block from the Dundee wall. Juranović and Celtic are perfect through the first five matches of the Scottish season. However, they face rivals, Rangers, next week in the Old Firm Derby.
Luka Modrić and Real Madrid take on Espanyol Sunday 4PM (ET) in La Liga action
Mateo Kovačić made his season debut for Chelsea on Saturday coming off the bench in the 75th minute. 10-man Chelsea squeaked by Leicester City 2-1 with a brace from Raheem Sterling.
Ivan Perišić got the start and played 72 minutes for Tottenham Sunday in a 2-0 win over Nottingham Forest
Gvardiol to Chelsea June 2023 confirmed

If it were me, come the world cup, I would want to see a mixture of Colak, Sucic, possibly Ljubicic on the field to help ensure goals are happening. I know Sucic has had a slow start but I think that will change. Alongside the likes of Perisic, Modric, and Broz I think I could work.
Vitesse? Lol..remember delac? He sat on bench whole season while on loan from chelsea
Delač was never good though.
He was a youth player for Zaprešić and then he ended up playing a season for the Zaprešić main squad. Not sure who his agent was, but he did a good job hyping up some clean sheet streak and Bilić did the kid a solid and called him up as a third keeper for one game. Since Bilić was worshipped by the English media, anything he said or did was hyped up. I think he said something positive about Delač to the media and Chelsea fell for the hype (even though there was barely anything there other than some clean sheet streak against HNL bottom feeders). Blackburn did the same thing when Bilić pumped up Kalinić too.
Vidović actually plays and scores ALOT of goals for Bayern II and has recently been starting for our U21s despite still only being 18 years old.
He is a legitimate prospect.
However, I don’t like Dutch clubs for our youth players. They tend to not care about developing players from other teams. I don’t see why Vitesse would sacrifice development minutes for a Bayern player (unless there was an option to buy).
Vitesse has had a horrible start to the season and would want to avoid relegation. That could motivate them to give him minutes, although he’d certainly be on a short leash. Produce or sit…….
Look at robert muric..staying at ajax reserves for a few seasons..now he went to konyaspor..not sure he is good enough for NT
It looks like Vidovic is getting a year long loan to vitesse and will be given the #10… not official yet but this would be a great move for him! First team action at a team that has pretty good success grooming young players!
At least there is one smart Croatian in Bayern Munich this season
I think he suits Atalanta overall
I don’t know too much about them
But they play I feel a more offensive style which will suit him
Better then going to Barcelona and getting lost maybe
I believe this is a good above mid level jump and then hit the big time with another move in a couple years
Love to see him hook up with pasalic a lot for a bunch of goals
This may even show before World Cup how well it could work
https://bulinews.com/news/14077/stuttgart-minimum-price-sosa-amid-atalanta-talks
This transfer seems to be getting closer. I hope it happens.
Nikola Moro has officially joined Bologna. Not a bad move for him. At this point he’s only a depth piece, but you can never have too much depth.
With Jakic and Franjic not getting regular min at CDM. I’d expect to see Toma Basic get the nod as a back up CDM now days (plays regularly). Interesting to see Moro and Bistrovic in the Serie A. Maybe they can make some noise too.
Toma Basic hasn’t been playing regularly actually, he might get cameos here and there.

Here are pics sorry link below doest open
Those are the ugliest jerseys we have ever had. Is this confirmed?
I still think (and hope) that those are fake. Just because they’re on the shelf somewhere, we can’t assume they are the official kits. The official kits wouldn’t be in any stores yet, so i hope these are some cheap knock-offs.

Here are pic of kits in a sports store
Bosko is the one that came from osijek atalanta. Josko is dinamos academy player.
Wonder who gets call ups most likely Livakovic Ivusic third keeper really dont know who gets a call most likely kalinic
Defense pongracic CC are probly out havent played a game this season looks like Lovren Vida will get call ups. Šutalo has been injured not match fit maybe will be by end of month. Erlic Gvardiol juranovic and stanisic most likel.
Midfield same cast as always
Up top will Petkovic find his name on list colak krama and musa budimir?
Pongracic played a full match yesterday.
Wtf which is the good one again???
Dokapetan hrvatske U-21 reprezentacije Boško Šutalo teže je ozlijeđen tijekom prvenstvene utakmice između Dinama i Šibenika na Šubićevcu.
Šutalo je zaradio frakturu kosti i rupturu ligamenata gležnja te ga čeka operativni zahvat, rehabilitacija i dulje izbivanje s travnjaka.
Bole, želimo ti brz oporavak i povratak na teren te u redove mladih Vatrenih! 🙏🇭🇷
Josip right?? Cause I remember we have a josko and two josips back there now
Colak gets to showcase against Celtic in a big time matchup
Then CL soon
It’s basically his spot to grab, the way it sits right now
Just wondering…is there no interest in todays HNL results? Nobody cares?
Watched Dinamo game and happy with the result. Hajduk lost to Osijek who was in last place when the day started. I’m surprised Osijek level of play this year has been subpar.
The reason La Liga has the ukrainian flag next to the score is simply b/c that’s what’s fashionable right now, these people have no clue whatsoever about geopolitics. They watch the news so they’re Experts! It’s pathetic. And is there a more ugly and bland flag, just two soft colors? The Swedish flag has the Crusader Cross so that makes it cool.
We have our striker!
There was also another Croatian striker that did well this week who is from Benfica (Petar Musa). Musa came on, got an assist and drew a penalty.
Jakic played Rb today for Frankfurt
How did that go?
Good to know as a make shift we can do something like that
I feel stanisic is the real ace in the hole a better version of Jedvaj being able to play across the back line and even in defensive mid
Anyone know when Josip Šutalo will be back for DZG ?
Hopefully he’ll be involved in Dalic’s upcoming September list
Sad news for Livaja. His father died in a motorcycle accident late last night. His start to the season was already poor, no telling how this will affect his performance moving forward.
Sorry to hear for him
Maybe he will play like a man on fire cause of it
I hope tho he finds peace in this time
Drive safe brothers

Juranovic chipping in today with a goal.
If those are the new kits whoever designed them should be fired. Why try and get fancy?
How on earth did these get approved?
Personally, I’ve always thought Adidas has better design ideas than nike. It’s just cooler and more of a traditionally soccer focused brand. I’d love to see what they could do with the checkers.
Bog i Hrvati
Not sure how it all works and if the HNS even gets a say in any of the design approval.
If they do, then shame on them for allowing these stupid home kits to be approved.
OMG those jerseys are horrible, Croatia can’t wear those. Is woke nike purposefully trying to embarrass Croatia?
Just go back to the 18′ kits if you have to. Some of the earlier leaks of jerseys they looked pretty cool, even the more radical ones, but these white jerseys are vomit worthy. Croatia can’t wear those at the world cup.
Can someone produce links to the earlier leaks of Croatia’s proposed WC jerseys?
We can’t deny what colak is doing even last year was quite solid
Like we all know
We just need someone hot
I don’t care if it goes In off the back of the head as long as we are scoring
We just need some Olic tap ins and we can do something
Let’s see what he can do in September
Pretty impressive both Scottish teams make the CL
https://www.footyheadlines.com/2022/08/croatia-netherlands-usa-2022-world-cup-kits.html?m=1
More leaks pointing to these kits. I actually kinda like the blues. The checkers look odd.
Those home kits suck.
You can’t ever mess with the checkers, and they did.
Ya the blues I can handle
The homes look like they ran out of ink
Tried to make it to cool and you know what happens when you try to hard, it just doesn’t work
Don’t force a fart my friends
Don’t mess with the sacred checkers and they did
https://www.getfootballnewsfrance.com/2022/atletico-madrid-want-lovro-majer-rennes-dont-want-to-talk/
Majer was a healthy scratch today. Maybe there’s some meat to these rumours.
https://vsports.pt/vsports/vod/golo-sl-benfica-joao-mario-67-boavista-fc-0-2-sl-benfica-77861
Musa came off the bench to help his new team beat his old team, assisting the 2nd Benfica goal.

It’s Bundesliga 2, but Mario Vuskovic is one to keep an eye on. He’s playing all game every game. That’s great for his development.
Nice to see Vlasic get on the board for Torino. Hopefully dude has found a spot.
https://www.goalstube.online/2022/08/cremonese-torino.html?m=m3
Not pretty, but it counts.
Colak with 7 goals in 7 games and playing Champions League…. we may have found the guy we’ve been looking for. The guy puts the ball in the net, with our mid feeding him chances he might be able to do some damage in Qatar.
Where’s Grbic playing now? We really need to find a keeper.
Bog i Hrvati
Yeah, I don’t think he’s the greatest player, but form counts for something. We need just 1 good month out of anyone.
9 goals in 12 matches total.
The goals look good, and he does play like a proper striker up top. We’ll have to see what he can do in these Nations League games.
https://streamja.com/Avyjn
Don’t look now, but Colak’s at it again.
https://streamja.com/E6G9n
And again…..
Is that the strangest goal ever scored?? What is going on? It appears he is antipating the low clearance and lunges to side to make contact with the ball a few inches off the ground, all before the clearance occurs. Looks like video game stuff.
Quality shots too. If he is on fire give him the position, as far as I am concerned boone else is producing the goods.
Going back to champions league. I think Dinamo can get a second place spot.
Gvardiol and Brekalo starting in the bench today
Is Gvardiol still nursing back the i jury?? That might be why, keep in mind the same thing happened to Perisic, Conte did not want to start him for the same reason and substituted him later.
