Growing up in a Croatian household, most if not all of us did not have it easy when we did something wrong. We didn’t get ‘talking to’s’ like our neighbors across the street, instead, we got full fledged beatings! Personally, my parents liked the wooden spoon/leather belt combo when disciplining me, but every family has their own style.
Who had the worst beatings/stories on CroatianSports.com growing up? And whose parent’s weapon of choice was the all powerful šiba?
Mama Istina is definitely a šiba lady and still uses it on Ziva to get him out of the fortified basement.

Everyone. Let’s make it official. You MUST add “djubre” when referencing or commenting towards 666, Anton, Karadž…etc. You know, like Živa says “puppet Šuker”
Hang on,give me a minute,I have just been rolling on the floor laughing at the sad photos that have been put up.
-Wow,thats a nice jacket in one photo.Does it come in leather also or just vynil??
-Wow,you have been skiing!! I like to ski also.Have done it in Australia,New Zealand,America,Austria and Switzerland.
-Wow,you have been on a boat with girls!Bet you not many people have done that! oh ,hang on,I have done that so many times,I cant even remember.
-Wow-you pick lemons.I prefer others to pick mine for me!
You seem to be having so much fun,I am still concerned about your mental state.Have you ever been to a mental hospital?You seem to be masking a great deal of bitterness.
Anyhow,thanks for the laughs.Thanks also for making me feel closer to my Croat brothers with each confused post you make.I feel so close to my Croat brothers right now that I am even calling Ziva “my friend”I have disagreed with him over certain things in the past,but right now,I feel a special bond with even him,all thanks to people like yourself. Ah ha ha ha ha ha 🙂

Did anyone hear anything about the Simunic punishment? Anything lighter than a life ban would be lenient, so I hope that FIFA stands up to Croatia.
That person looks like a girl. Come on that had to be a girl with a body like that. No way that is a man. If it is a man the dude has to eat properly and lift weights.

@Bobby V
anyone can see after Dinamo did not make champions league that they could care less about Europa league play
Frankly most teams and the public seem to care less about this league. They should drop it and only have champion league.
Not sure how many of you had this, but my tata used to coach my soccer teams. Never in my life, have I seen a coach get so many red cards in consecutive seasons. All the parents knew not to talk to my dad when he started speaking Croatian….if they only understood the shit that was coming out of his mouth.
One season my best friend played on another team, and we were matched up against each other. He shoved me next to our sidelines, and my tata went on a FUCKING rampage. I thought he was going to murder the kid….who he’d coached for 6 or 7 years.
I’ll give him this though. He was the only successful coach I had growing up. All our practices considered of scrimmages and no real drills. I got more hardware with him at the helm, then any of the other jokers I ended up playing for….who got hired because they had an English accent.
I’m joking about Sammir but I feel like Eduardo is the obvious choice.
Not sure if he’s better suited as a starter or a sub though.
At this point in Eduardo’s career I’d probably like to see Jelavic or Olic start and wear down their back line for a bit and then bring on Dudu at about the 60th minute.
Either way, I want to see him in there!
Congrats to Rijeka for beating Dinamo 3 points to 1 in Europa league competition, even though they were in a more difficult group.
Remember that thread about if Dinamo was better off in the Europa League than Champions? How useless does that discussion look now? I guess they were 1 point better off.
And that’s his family from the dijaspora’s yacht. E klinjo, dno dna. Znaci zicas za brod a ne lovu. Jadnice kakav si ti fakin?
@Poglavnik – not a bad idea, Sammir & Dudu. Maybe the Brazilians would get confused and pass them the ball in front of their own goal.
Joking!

Maybe croatian sports should do a fund raiser for him and collect money from the dijaspora.
He sounds homeless and hungry not to mention uneducated!
All money raised goes to getting him educated on Croatia, food and shelter. Maybe then he wouldn’t be so pathetic and bitter.
How do you like the dijaspora now?

@ Lika Joey
I’m hearing reports of a maximum of 2 or 3 match ban. Fifa wants Mandza banned for the Brazil game to help the hosts progress. This all seems to be a behind the scenes “Game of Thrones” like power-play.
If there is a ban longer than that, it might be a indirect punishment related to the Simunic situation.
I mean Mandzukic didn’t injure him, a ban of 1 game or more seems harsh.
Who can we rely on as Striker without Mandza? A 35 year old Olic? An out of form Jelavic or Eduardo?

Inviting people to your home that self admitted they were in constant dealings with the Yugo consulate to me = something fishy!
Why would you deal with them other than for passport issues?
Prle,
“Again, be careful. Because many former Yugoslavs compensate for being Yugoslav by now accusing old school Hrvati of being UDB-a agents.”
“There is no such thing as the categorization of BIG HRVATI, that itself was created by Yugoslavs and their secret police.”
Amen, alleluja! Especially the second part.
Watching Real Betis – Rijeka. 0-0 after 27 minutes. Rijeka could help Vitoria Guimaraes out by tying or winning today.
True and I agree, my point was two pronged….1) I like guys like Diehl that had no Croatian upbringing but want to know more about it, they have no other reason than love for Croatia to try and affiliate themselves as Hrvati. 2) the people I was talking about have always been involved in the Croatian community…strangely enough they seem to have relationships with very odd I highly doubt anyone would respect!
In zadar county Zatonjani,Privlacanci su dosta Jugo trash and fake hrvati.
Let me illustrate for you:
Dobar Hrvat:
“Jugovicu, di si bio i sto si radio do 90-e? Sad si i ti Hrvat, je li?”
Jugovic: “A, nisam htio dolaziti medju Hrvate jer su svi ‘veliki Hrvat’ ustvari UDB-asi.”
Doktor Prle – mythbuster.
😉
Not necessarily true, Slavonac.
Be very careful. That is also mainly a myth that the Yugoslav secret police spread around to create paranoia and discord.
While there certainly were/are those that were concealing something, most “Big Hrvati” were and are Croats.
Again, be careful. Because many former Yugoslavs compensate for being Yugoslav by now accusing old school Hrvati of being UDB-a agents.
Myth and counter-myths. But still only MYTHS.
There is no such thing as the categorization of BIG HRVATI, that itself was created by Yugoslavs and their secret police.
There are only good and bad Croats. And if you are a good man, you usually are a good Croat. 🙂
Ziva- not everyone is as fortunate as you have been, I know many people who’s one parent is Croatian and the other is either Italian, German, Chilean or whatever…they weren’t as exposed to Croatian culture, language and so on like you and many of us have been but once they get older and have the opportunity to learn, they end up grasping that part of their lives that they never had the chance to before. I guess I’m saying that if you are directly from a Croatian bloodline and choose to identify yourself as one, you are one!
Last night I saw a family I knew from Crkvenica (I was at my children’s Christmas concert), they are apparently Big Hrvati… The old man hasn’t seen me in years and asked me about life and things. I in turn asked him how he was and how they will spend Christmas… He responded to me, telling me who his family will spend it with….one of the people is a guy my father physically shit kicked because he was a Croatian commie, my dad worked with him and while drinking one night he told my dad information about the people who worked for the Yugo consulate and how he gave them info about Croatian here…Big Croat…his son is my neighbor and says he’s a big time Hrvat! They are full bloodlines and yet give info to Yugo consulate and now act as if they are big Croats?
I’ll accept any guy that stands for Croatia and knows our history or wants to know it, I’m more afraid of those that always act like big shit and are pounding their chest but are covert and transformed people…they are normally the ones that scream the loudest!
Me too, tatoos are a MAJOR turn-off……
ahhh ziva i should have known. the point being, the guy has shown a lot of passion for cro. he doesn’t speak the language. but should ban him from being on a cro team . especially if he is trying to learn. i would say no
your aversion to tattoos seems overly intense as well.
@Toni, whatever floats your boat, but I think it’s stupid.
I think chicks with Tattoos are hot.

Yeah I realised that.

@ IvicA
Serbia plays like Croatia? Boy have the Brazilians gotten things mixed up. Bosnia would be better fit (maybe even Portugal).
Makes sense that Inter would try to cash in on their hot-ticket item Freddy Guarin. They got a bunch of players that can play in that position, including Kovacic. Man U better act fast if they are going to salvage this season.
It was nice reading all these stories about peoples’ upbringing. I could have sworn I wrote them myself, it was a trip down memory lane. This is stuff only a kid growing up in a Croatian household can relate too.
yea i don’t think speaking the language should be a criteria. its tough. some never had the chance. david deihl from the giants didn’t speak (although he has been taking lessons). but after he prances around national tv after winning the superbowl with a checkered hajduk towl and shows up on the cover of sports illustrated with a giant grb tattoo on his arm, i would think there would be a spot for him on a cro sports team
I thought the same thing Sude Mi
Well, if Brazil watched any of the world cup qualifiers we played there is nothing to underestimate with our midfield play.
Regaring Boban……..something doesn’t add up there. I know he and his wife have had some issues in the past.
Brazil will not underestimate our midfielders and vice versa.
Some good news out of Italy and Brazil…
Inter Milan want to sell Fredy Guarin to Man United or Spurs. If this happens, it likely means Kovačić will stay at Milan and play the attacking midfielder role full-time.
Also, Brazil is lining up a friendly with the Serbs, on the basis that they think Serbia plays just like Croatia (which they don’t).
I’m really hoping Brazil underestimates our midfielders this summer.
Either that or him and wifey weren’t as happily married as he wanted everyone to think!
@Sude Mi
Boban’s vision’s been gone since he played France in ’98.

@Luka – sounds almost too good to be true, doesn’t it…
@Marko
Your parents never failed you. Seems you were the perfect child? Are you sure you are Croatian? 🙂
I’m feeling a little left out here reading everyone’s stories, as my dad and mum never once beat me, smacked me, threatened me or laid a finger on me whilst I was growing up. Does that mean my parents have failed me?
I agree but would find it hard to believe he can speak the language, his grandfather came from Croatia so I highly doubt he does. I do wonder if he actually really cares whatsoever… Do they have strong Croatian communities there, was he part of it, did his father do much to teach him about Croatia, had he ever visited?
I think there are circumstances I could accept when a person doesn’t speak the language, he may have never had the opportunity to learn it…I want to know if he just realized that he is Croatian now or if he knew his whole life and was in any way attached/involved with Croatians? You never know….he could have always been a proud Hrvat like many diaspora or he may only be interested to further his professional career, I would never want him if it’s only about his career!
Rasic has come out and said he wants to play for croatia.
There is also this other Argie kid Augustin vuletich who has openly stated he wants to play for croatia.
@slavonac……..no clue who he is. My criteria is: Is Hrvatska his first choice. Can he speak the langauge. If the answers to those two questions are yes, then I am cool with it. I’m jumping way ahead of myself, but an issue that allows pops up is how thoese type of players from the outside are welcomed in the locker room.
@Cekaj – hahaha – the Croatian dads were always more interested in bashing the incompetent refs during the 60’s-70’s (they did suck) than they were in who actually won. Thanks for the laugh.
Not sure if Index is credible or not but that’s where I saw it

As a child I accompanied my dad and my 3 uncles (recipe for disaster) to soccer games, whether live or on TV. As usual, we’re cheering for our Croatia side against whoever, and the ref makes a call against us. The following comments ensue:
Ref ju vant maj gleses, picka ti corava.
Or the ever popular, hap sajd ref, on je bio hap sajd, majku mu jebem.
Not to mention, kam hir ref aj so ju kako se refa da te jebem.

Mario and Joe
Anyone hear anthing on FIFA’s decision regarding Mano and Joe. Checked the internet and nothing as of yet. I thought the decision comes down today.
My old man would call me mujo Even though I’m completely Catholic on both sides. His friends thought it was hilarious. It’s not bad…
It was rare if my parents had to break out the siba. I was of course a perfect angel as a kid. But when they did, I deserved it. (My parent’s personal favorite was good ‘ol fashioned Catholic guilt) And it was never moja majka with the siba, but my Irish Catholic father. It’s all the same. But I got the plastic pasta spoon. That thing had holes in it. You could whip it nicely. Made a hell of a sound. Still picking out ass bits from it. Funny, because we still serve pasta with it.. .
Ante B – “If it wasn’t from the root, I had to start all over.” How does one make you start over weeding the garden? Once it’s done, it’s done.
@ majstore
Re: your quote…
“We had a teacher at Croatian school that pulled our sideburns when we got out of line.”
I remember a Croatian school teacher that was notorious for that. I remember him pulling on this one kid’s sideburns (Nino was his name) so hard that Nino told his dad and his dad came to the school wanting to kick the teacher’s ass, lol.
But older generation Croats are all over the place emotionally. This teacher was a perfect example.
He used to lose his mind on all of us and would twist and pull the sideburns and ears of all the bad kids, but he also loved to pull out his guitar and sing songs like “Boze cuvaj Hrvatsku” and “Zvono Zvoni” with us.
Any time he started teaching, we’d egg him on to sing a song (just so we wouldn’t have to learn anything) and he’d instantly pull out the guitar and sing. Then when we’d all get to the part in that song “Zvono Zvoni” where it’s supposed to go “svi u skolu krecu, ja zakasni necu” someone would ALWAYS sing it as “svi u skolu krecu, ja zakasni HOCU!”.
Of course, that teacher would lose his mind again, stop playing the guitar and start pulling sideburns. It was awesome.

@MB13
Dude. I got one of the worst beatings of my childhood with the yellow track! I will never forget. Sadly I never played with it again.
I think that depends on the mood my dad was in, my mother was pretty religious, I never heard her swear in my life…my dad on the other hand…uffff!
How about what they used to call you? Mine was fond of calling me a “kobilo”.
I thought Croatian fathers used srbosjek
Bobby – yeah, pretty funny! I could go on and on about my parents (God bless their souls)! They were super funny when I look back, I used to imitate them to my friends my whole life…of course I exaggerated like hell, but I swear they were hilarious! Many of my friends parents were the same, we all feared our dads but oddly enough appreciated their values.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qU0ZExNqHSs
First ever drive thru Mc Donald’s experience (which was a massive surprise since my dad thought it was absolute shit).
Tats asks me: ok sine, sta hoces jest?
Me: ok Tata, I wanna Big Mac, fries and a coke
Lady at the drive through: hi welcome to McDonalds can I take your order
Tata: (takes a drag from his cigarette and says) ya, van hevi mek, cips ena pap!
Lady at the drive through: what was that?
I laughed my ass off! Still cracks me up today!
I tried running away from my dad once. I got a slipper thrown at me. It left a mark on my cheek that took years to go away.
Vatrena,
Touché but I would do anything to have one more time to do that for him. Nice sunny day, me working, him laughing and cussing at how communists and jugos are the worst people on Earth, a jebi ga ne mozes glavom kroz zid
This is probably the best thread we’ve had here in awhile.
is blaming others for your wrongs a croatian thing or what… im guilty of this as well as i know others… wtf
lol, sliperi saks
So many of these stories are so similar to some of mine! My dad was so hard core he always had the last say for everything and that was that.
This is off topic but I remember him waiting for my mom to finish making his coffe in 91, there was a news special on tv regarding the war in Croatia. She finished putting the sugar and stirring it for him and he quickly headed down the stairs…they program just started. Within 2 seconds we heard boom boom boom…BAM! He slipped and fell down the last few stairs, coffee hit the ceiling and was dripping onto his head….the next thing we heard was “ma jebem ti boga stara, zasto mi uvijek kupis ove sliperi saks”.
He was never wrong about anything….I miss those days!
Did anyone see the viscous nutmeg that Neymar pulled off today against Celtic?
I think one time in middle school I got 5 B’s and a fucking B- on my report card, plus a negative comment because I would joke around during the sex ed portion of science class.
I was scared absolutely shitless because for the first time my GPA was below 3.00, I don’t even think Mama and Tata knew what a GPA was or how it was calculated…but they did know that 2.99 was less than 3.00. When that report card showed up I knew I was dead, Mama was so disappointed, but she just kept cooking with this sad look on her face and said “wait til Tata sees this…”
I knew I was fucked…but it was fucking world world war 3, my dad threw his favorite wine glass into the sink and shattered it – (later blamed me). I got whacked with the kais so many times that I ran away halfway through and started hitting my head against the wall until Tata agreed to stop.
And just like someone else said above, I heard about my 2.99 GPA for like 2 fucking months, until Christmas Eve.
Fucking B-
@MB13 – hahaha – yeah! and those little green connector tabs were all over the place.
@ante
Real punishment was on your dad. Poor guy had to watch a dinamo game 😉
Once I got older and the physical beatings were done, I had to do gardening for Tata while he listened to Dinamo games or Croatian news. He made me pick weeds and lay every one out onto newspaper. If it wasn’t from the root, I had to start all over.
you sure you didn’t get it in the ass? 😉
Anybody get the hot wheels racing track on the ass?
Otherwise the batine at home consisted of the usual above mentioned ^^^ ; p
When I was in the 4th grade I was playing truth or dare with a group of people, they dared me to kick a soccer ball and break windows and to piss on the wall in the playground… which I did. With my luck the principal saw me mid flow! Oh boy was Tata pissed when he found out! everyday I came home for 4 days my Tata would make me go outside and pick a new branch everyday and I’d get batina and the reason he stopped was because Easter was coming up haha
I remember thinking to myself when picking the branch… “do i pick a thin branch and sting or a thick branch that hurts a lot but doesn’t sting as much.”
The plus side was I saw my first female guza that day before I got caught 🙂
We had a teacher at Croatian school that pulled our sideburns when we got out of line.
Kako srbin ide prek ceste u BGu? Prvo gleda levo…pa desno…onda gore.
you think if we applied the kais to Rakitic he would learn know how to head the ball or at the very least get a real haircut?
@666
nije nitko dobio batine ko sto su srbi u oluji.
HNS have chosen their training base in Brazil!
http://au.sports.yahoo.com/news/article/-/20256205/croatia-choose-praia-do-forte-as-world-cup-base/
I’ll never look at vegeta like I did before again! LOL
Grab your sideburns?! That’s hardcore.
Yep, I had to kneel on unpopped popcorn kernels. Shit hurt like a bitch.
Once I was horsing around with my brother while my mom was cooking and she threw a metal can of Vegeta at me from a good 15 yards away, line drive to the left temple. Amazing.
Both my tata and mama would grab my sideburns and pull.
My mom would also slap the ship out of me with a fly swatter. She wasn’t afraid to hit me in the face with that thing.
Davor classic story haha
@666
ajde vrag dosadilo si vec, sta nas ovde zajebavas, aj ti lipo u kurac.
Before giving a hiding Stari used to hold 2 or 3 belts in front of our noses and make us smell them to choose which one we wanted!
If there was no kais around he would pull us up by our sideburns until we couldn’t stand any higher on our toes.
The best one was in the car. My brother was in the back and he pissed off my dad who was driving (in a parking lot).My dad pulled my brother by the hair with one hand and shook his head from side to side in between the front seats and his other hand on the steering wheel. While he was doing it he was shitting in my brother. Classic.
Great stuff guys, keep ’em coming.
I remember my buddy also Croatian, his grandmother was the sweetest thing in the real world, but when it came to doling out punishment to him and his brother and sister, she was the queen.
Soon I was scared too of that baba, as when she turned it was ugly! Funny enough he balled like a baby when she passed away, even though as a kid he was scared shitless of her….
Good times!
@Slo Pedcro
Possibly im too analytical about the content, but the song seems to be about the Hrvati who openly pushed for croatia during the Jugoslavija days, the man in this song seems to be someone who fought against it and as such was persecuted for his beliefs, hence the nature of his death. Word for word translation wont work but ill give it a go.
I wasn’t born to die in a bed
Full of medals and false epaulettes
This type of person is known to die alone
To not have a last will and testament
false medals and epaulettes would symbolise the bullshit jugo army that was mandatory, this man takes no pride in these “medals” he is someone who fights against the regime hence why he would die alone and have no last will and testament. This can symbolise that he may not have family or more likely he is killed without anyone knowing he is dead.
I wasn’t born to be under someone’s thumb
Highly envious of a powerful world
I am my race and I will be
Burn straight and burn out like a candle
The man wasn’t born to be a slave to the system i.e. Juga and Tito, i guess he is envious of those in the world who have the power to say who they are openly. Rod or race he is saying he is Croatan and he always will be, i guess the burning like a candle represents the bright light of freedom or some such.
Before I angrily part this world
I feel that this is my fate
Lower me the way I am
He dies without any words, without saying it hurts
He dies in his boots
The man knows the fate that awaits him for being who he is and rebelling against an oppressive system. He wants to be put in the ground the way he is, i.e a Croat. To die in his boots would symbolise an unnatural death, most natural deaths usually one would not be wearing their boots. Dying without saying any words or saying it hurts is either its a swift death or given the Jugo penchant for dealing with people who go against them he isnt willing to give them the satisfaction of saying anything especially speaking of the pain
Because he has no other obligations
He seeks out power, honor and glory
With this heart, with these motions,
With these songs, with these words
He won’t save his own head
My guess his one objective is freedom, so power, honor and glory to Croatia, but with such words and actions etc etc he wont be able to save his own head (life) again in that system rebelling against the powers that be was dealt in various ways including execution.
The translation may not be all that good or even my analysis of the content of the song and i may very well be wrong, which wouldn’t be for the first time:D But i can tell you the song is definitely about a man who dies in his boots and not on a bed. Anyone else feel free to add to that or correct it, as i said its my best guess.
ahahaa, koi primitivizam..ahahaaa a ovo su dnjeli sa sobom iz svojih primitivnih vukojebina bez struje I vode odakle su dosli.
..”He just told me if i fucked up in school i knew what was waiting labor”…
ako ne buses ucio onda ces morati da radis….
haha @ laku noc wtf
My dad old fashion, woop my ass with what ever was closest. good think i was fast i use to run around the dining tables and he would chase but i would throw the chairs out. worked like a charm then i would hit the front door wouldnt come back for a while, but he eventually got the best of me. my mom use to pick the fuckin thorn bush branch knock the thorns off that was her siba that shit stung like a mofo. But i would say after 14 i was to strong and none of it worked.
My poor sister she would come home and tata would act like nothing happened, he use to love doing that pretend ur not in trouble let u think u get away then ask some suspicious questions then freak the fuck out. made my sis clean the dishes at 2 am then after she finished smacked the shit out of her.
I can say this much one thing i didnt like seeing were the croats men hit there girls that shit pissed me off. While i may spank my boys im not gonna hit my girls.
One thing that is a little different than some of ur stories, my dad didnt give a shit about school. Never cared. Wasnt hard on me for bad grades, no rewards for good grades. He just told me if i fucked up in school i knew what was waiting labor.
the best was when I had to kneel on hard rice and hold a quarter up on the wall with my nose while holding my arms up
@TheGoldenChild
The funny thing is about these replies is that all of us are nodding our heads as if to say ‘yep, that happened to me…and that…and that too’
The report card grades below an A was definitely a part of my life…the Catholic guilt….boze moj.
I’ve been laughing so hard at some of these replies. By far the funniest @ante.
My brother took the brunt of the beatings, and I just learned what not to do from him. That is where TheGoldenChild name came about. Even though I got into my fair share of trouble, my brother always found a way to fuck up even more and take the heat off me.
Worst experience:
I got a C on my report card in handwriting…anything below a B+ was grounds for shitsville. My tata called me into the room and pointed at the rack of belts hanging in the closet. “Pick one” Ended up getting straight As the rest of the year.
I don’t know about you guys, but my Mama used the old Catholic guilt. Wouldn’t aknowledge my presence for days if I did something wrong. I think her personal record was a full week, where she gave me a little under a full sentence a day. That was brutal.
When i lived in germany my brother, his friend, and i went to a bar. I was 4 my brother was 7. it was all good until it slipped out to my parents that we went. They took me to the bathroom so none of our parents hear the beating. They kept beating me with the siba dipped in paint “didnt leave marks” and all i kept crying about was every time i asked the bartender for a drink he told me i had to pay 4 marke. ahh the beauty of growing up.
This thread is definitely the funniest one thus far…oh the memories.
@ Croatia vs Antwerp – the slape one made me laugh out loud…
I so remember the slape, one of many instruments they had at their disposal……anything else they could find really. What amazed me is the contrast between beat down styles of my mom and dad.
Mama was ninja-like in her moves – before I new it I was stunned from a quick strike…Tata on the other hand, slow and deliberate. Knowing it was coming was the worst. I remember pulling the little rascals technique of putting a book in my pants to pad my ass from a spanking. My dad hurt his hand that time spanking me…he pulled the book out and used it on me…it was a hardcover.
I used to beat Ante after he kissed the Chivas emblem on his jersey during goal scoring celebrations.
Creepiest shit I have ever seen.
Injuries will happen hope no long injuries like acl mcl that dir. Pletikosa srna lovren carli pranjic/strinic/new- modric males-rakitic kovacic perisic-Olic vs Brazil. Eduardo rebic ilicevic subs

Disaster would await us without Modric.
Lol…
Dannyj pray to God Luka is healthy for Brazil!
@mishko this deflection http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=arw7OqffelY
very fixed angle u saw it from
I was struc kwith all sorts of shit by moj otac – never Mom. One time, it was on the patio in front of the grill- he grabbed a fresh pre-cleaned Arbun and smacked me in the face. Fuck, I miss getting whacked.
ugh looked knee on knee… innocent enough but these can be troublesome… at least it wasn’t at high speed
they got the finest doctors and tools and he is in great shape, he will recover quick im sure and the beauty bout a team like he is on, he won’t have to rush back as say if he were on a lower quality team where they absolute need him to be back
My dad never actually laid a hand on me. I was always petrified of him.
Once saw someone try to mug him on the subway at knifepoint and back off when he realized my father was going to dismember him.
My mom was another story. She would drag me by the ears.
@100blahblahblah, what deflection?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OKQZdzyqiVI

BTW – Here’s the knock on Luka. Hopefully it’s not too bad.

good goal, not amazing considering it took a deflection
Anyone ever had to kneel on dried green beans? That hurt.
Intersting article in the Australian newspapers with Jozak, Croatia’s national technical director

From the Uefa site regarding Modric injury, however no more details. I’m sure the Croatian press will inform us of the news tomorrow.
82 Casemiro (in) – Modrić (out) (Real Madrid). Madrid make their third and final substitution, as Modrić goes off injured.
Remmer (København) is penalised for a foul on Modrić (Real Madrid).
80 Remmer (København) is penalised for a foul on Modrić (Real Madrid). Substitute Remmer clashes with Modrić who looks in pain and remains on the ground.
Luka’s goal, and I didn’t hear anything about an injury.

What injury?
@ nije bitno. The baggy pants story made me crack up. I woulda rather got sent to the principals office as a kid then have stari see/find out that my pants were sagging to show my underwear. Good times!
Any update on Modric’s injury?
@ worlds super duper greatest croamerican
I thought that was my title? but hey, cestitam!
@IvicA
My mom still has a couple of sibe on her fridge! 🙂
God knows why, hopefully only for sentimental reasons.
She would save these hard plasticky sticks from balloons that us kids would bring home from department stores likes Sears or Eatons.
Fuck those things smarted!
@Penetrator
I had to break off branches from the yard a few times before too, but that was more of my dad’s way.
Anybody see modric’ goal?
hmmm, it would have been the last time your girl came over to the fortified basement
Eduardo Jelavic all need loans to other clubs if wanting to go to Brazil.
was watching the first half of shaktar and man u… is fred on shaktar the fred brazil has as their striker… if so, he really didn’t look that good, had a couple of decent opportunities and fucked me up
also, srna looked ok.. moved the ball well but was beat to a ball pretty quickly almost causing a goal
Halilovic spoiled brat. Radosevic Jedvaj Rebic all went to italy and i hope they get sent to seia B for playing time Seria B stronger than Croatia A liga.
Oh man, you guys cracked me the f up. Great stories. Total nostalgia. I have too many beatings under the belt (pun intended) for me to pick just one. They were all great. My mom being German and having the influence from my ličan Tata made for the perfect concoction of precise beatings with caveman like furry. We didn’t have a prayer. For all you ličani out there, mamas weapon of choice was the mašaja. Tara’s was one swift blow to either the side or the back of the head. It was like a wrecking ball. Once I pulled a Neo (Matrix style) and dodged it. His finger grazed my nose but that was it. That was the last time he tried.
@ Slavonac
Šimunić should appeal any verdict, but my guess is that he won’t.
I just hop FIFA’s decision on Mandžukić isn’t clouded by their need to make an example of Šimunić. One game should be the maximum for that Iceland challenge.
would you guys if given the choice through the book at simunic to get mandzo zero games… thats a tricky one..
mirise sportske gace
Modric just scored a great goal.
.
Vote on JOCK-SNIFFER. Here are some options:
1) Snifac donjeg rublja
2) Njusac donjih gaca
3) Njuskalo mudanti
4) Mudante-njuskalo
Please feel free to add your ideas, as these aren’t the best. LOL
My mother still has the wooden spoons she broke on my head. 🙁
I’d be surprised if Simunic isn’t used as the sacrificial lamb so FIFA can say they punished Croatia for racism
So, based on everything I have read from experts or those who are in the know, Mandza will get one game and Simunic will get anywhere from zero to five games. The opinion on Simunic is all over the place
I hope Mandzukic only gets 1 game
This Thursday is the day we find out fifas decision on Mandzukic and Simunic.
http://www.index.hr/sport/clanak/fifa-u-cetvrtak-odlucuje-o-simunicu-i-mandzukicu/715863.aspx
Absolutely. Tug boat barge will win.
We weren’t allowed to put a star on top of our Christmas tree. I got my ear pierced after Croatia beat Germany in 98 and proceeded to have it ripped out after. That was an experience.
My dad, God rest his soul, had the perfect crack of the leather belt back in the day. It was almost as scary as actually getting hit with it.
But mali Kvartuc gave him a run for his money. Sometimes it took 15-30 minutes for him to finally beat me. Where do you think I got all my speed from Baricevic??
We still on for that race?
I remember none of us were allowed to grow our hair long. The second the bangs came close to the eyebrows, it was time for a haircut. We couldn’t get Guns n’ Roses nor any Pearl Jam t-shirts either.
Geez. At least in Yugo, the military service was only a couple years. It was a decade in mine and my friends’ houses.
thin*
The this sibe hurt more!
Had to go and pick my own siba. And if it wasn’t big enough i’d get twice as many.
my brother had to go and pick his own siba…poor guy! I on the other hand, was very accustomed to that freakin belt! I swear I must have gotten the beats at least twice per week, if not…more!
I’m surprised at some of you guys running, that was worse than anything in my home. If I even tried to run I got it twice as bad!
Let’s see I got the šiba, Kaiš, Metla, Ruka, šlape you name it.
However their punishment of choice was a thick šiba…
My parents too kept their šiba above the fridge. As far as me pre-breaking it with a slight crack. That’s the first thing they would look for. They would then make ME go into the yard and harvest another šiba to hit me with.
Of course I would choose the thinnest branch. But sure enough, they would send me back out again and make me choose a šiba to their liking.
When I was able to run and move out of striking distance, they resorted to throwing rocks and other items. And I thought Peyton Manning was accurate. There was no escape…
With no arms and legs.
Get chased by your 30 year old dad at age 5 was such a fucking mismatch.
At least David had a slingshot with some rocks against Goliath. This was like trying to swim away from Jaws in the middle of the ocean.
“Eventually opened the door..” I just got anxious for no reason and started sweating. Apparently it’s engrained in all of us. The main weapon I usually got was the kuhaca and being thrown through dry wall.
@ Ante B
LOL. Man, I almost forgot about the so-called “safe” room.
The bathroom is just a false sense of security. It just enraged my dad even more to the point where he almost tears the door down with rage. It was a physiological nightmare.
I always buckled, and eventually opened the door to an onslaught of terror.
@Ivica
Hilarious, but my mom and dad never chased me…..samo su rekli dodji ovdje i ja sam dosao.
Funny thing is, I don’t think I ever got off any lighter by coming obediently.
Good times.
Moj dido with the big njemacki vojska kajis and his right samar would usually do the trick.
My mum’s weapon of choice was the infamous sibica that would leave welts for weeks.
Yeah my childhood was fantastic.
I was 13. There was a minimum day at school. I was supposed to come home at 11am and I came home at 9pm. This was a time before the internet and cellphones. My parents were on the way to the police to report me missing. On the way they spotted me and picked me up. The millisecond I got home, Tata threw me through a wall. Read that again slowly. Threw. Me. Through. A. Wall.
Ivica I concur but on the opposite end. Mama one time jumped over a table and got me during my sprint to the bathroom. The “safe” room.
Who could ever forget the “NEEEEEE NEMOJ MAMA NEEEEE”. Don’t pretend you guys don’t know what I’m talking about.
I remember when I first outran my father and got away.
The feeling of achievement was incredible.
I felt like an African kid who killed his first lion.
Whenever both your mom and your dad are chasing you around the table and try to corner you on each side…you always gotta go toward your mom’s side.
If there is even a sliver of a chance that you’ll get away, it would be through your mom. Her chick mentality to always fall for the dummy fake step and turn (the lažnjak), always gives you that chance. Croatian fathers, however, all have some sort of sports background, so there is no way you can pull this move against them during the table chase…and the resulting beatings count for double after.
A good strategy for any of you kids who still get the beats…
If your mom keeps a ‘šiba’ in the house to beat you with when you’re bad, make sure that you “pre-break” the šiba in advance so it falls apart after the first swing.
It has to be a slight crack in the šiba, so it’s not noticable. My mom kept hers above the fridge. I’d even slightly snap it in multiple places just to be sure.
At that moment when she’s in a rage and winds up for that first swing, it breaks just as it makes contact.
She then has to go outside to harvest another šiba from the backyard, clean the leaves off of it, and make her way back. At that point, she’s cooled off significantly.
Kako se kaze “jock sniffer” po Hrvatski?!?!
My “siba” moment came when I was a kid and Mama Istina gave it to me for wearing a jersey with another person’s last name on the back. She said no son of mine will ever be a jock sniffer.
The best moment in a Croatian kid’s life is when you finally outrun your father.
my dido would corner me into a corner literally and smack the life outta me a few times and then show me the hand and scream “VIDISE!?!??!” and if I giggled or tried to run, he would smack the snot out of me a few more times hahha
Wooden spoon. I’m 23 and my mom still reaches for it if I’m being a smart ass!
My Baba and Dido would give it to me the worst. I recall one time my baba beating me and my brother with a box of pasta in the supermarket.
The funniest was when I was 16 and by then a pretty big balavac and my mom turned to me and told me she wouldn’t hit me anymore with her hand as it now hurt her more than it hurt me!
I was shocked, but realized she was bang on…..otherwise, she used to break alot of kuhace on account of me and my siblings.
Yeah, good times kids are way too soft nowadays….
The best ever beating (there were many) was when I accidentally on purpose broke windows on a house that my friends and I were told is going to be torn down! We thought awesome, now we can throw rocks and smash every last one…we were between 8-10 years old.
……two days later the police showed up at our door, my friends and their parents were standing in front of our house, my buddies were crying! we all walked to the house where we brok the windows, admitted what we did and then jebote….my dad gave me that look, I knew I was dead!!!!
I got the kajs like never before and was grounded for a month!
good times!
I’ve got a bunch of them. But the annual beat down took place with my mom at the mall during back to school clothes shopping! I wanted baggy clothes and she would beat me down in front of all the Mexican and black kids saying i wasn’t going to look like them! GOOD TIMES. I actually miss those days and wish i can go back in time…
Elvis, lemme know when you’re in town buddy.
@ARMADA87 would love to have a pint with you in Astoria.
Guys, commander Kapicic passed away.
http://www.croatiantimes.com/news/General_News/2013-12-10/34875/_Former_commander_of_Goli_otok_prison_dies_at_94
I hope satan skull fucks him.
Momci, my mama had the precision of Peyton Manning when it came to clocking me in the glava with a šlape or two when I was a little dude and was up to no good. I’d either get smacked upside the head close range or if I was getting chased, I’d get one flung at me and it was always 100% accurate….
Growing up the hood of uptown manhattan and the Bronx in the early 80’s, Stari was on edge. I would hang all night and miss curfew. Stari had the belt “Spremni.” But he was good natured with his Dalmatinac style. There was never any emotional malice with the physical beatings.
He would bring back those “jugo” special sneakers that he got from the piazza. You know the ones that are so thick they can last the whole year till next summer! The kids in the hood called them skips and would have a field day with snapping on me. One time I threw them out and he found them in the garbage and beat me senseless.
Once the beating was complete it was all good, no after affects.
My Fiumana mother was a different story, her fury when she would grab me by the ear is still ringing through my body-mind dynamic! Her game was emotionally charged. I would take Stari’s physical beating any day of the week over that shit.
Funny you bring this up this time of year as Xmas was always bizarre affair in my early child hood. Stari did great shopping for everyone in Croatia BUT us! He was tapped out after the summer and by the time Christmas rolled around he was already thinking about the upcoming summer.
Fast forward and my son is born on Christmas Day !
My Swiss wife celebrates Christmas Eve like Santa actually comes to our house for cookies !
Stari warms up now on his grandson’s birthday.
Yes we can evolve.
Just got an article of a kid from Zagreb who designed an aerodynamic electric car at 21 years of age.
Za Duh!
Being in a family of 7 children, growing up, we had sitdown dinners everynight. My mom did not put up with moody teenagers, with atittudes, so it was always inevitable, that one of my 5 sisters had a bad day, and it was incumbent on my brother to set them off. My mom would lose her cool, and sparks would usually fly, and someone would get a beating. Jumprope, broom, dustpan, yardstick…….whatever was most handy. My mom had a unique method of slapping you with both hands on yours ears back and forth……… My Nono always said, where there is too much laughter, there soon be tears.
Not to change the subject, but can someone translate these dalmatian lyrics for me.
Tedi Spalato – Testament
Tekst: Ljubo Stipišić Delmata
Nisam rojen da bi umra
U posteji rekamanon.
Pun odličja falši lenta,
Vaki znade umrit samcat.
Nima vaki testamenta.
Nisan rojen ić niz dlaku,
Kripeć zavist moćneg svita.
Rod svoj jesan, a i bit ću…
Gorit drito, drito gorit…
I dogorit ka i svića.
Ma pri veng gnjevan partin doli,
Takva mi je sudba ćutin.
Spustite me kakvi jesan
Vaki umre brez reć riči, brez reć boli.
Vaki umre u postolin.
Jerbo, nima drugi obligmenti
Iskat moći čast i slavu.
S ovin srcem, s ovim motin,
S ovin pisman, s ovin ričin,
Vaki neće iznit glavu.
Ma, prin neg gnjevan partin doli,
Takva mi je sudba ćutin,
Spustite me kakvi jesan.
Vaki umre brez reć riči, brez reć boli,
Vaki umre u postolin.
Spustite me kakvi jesan,
Vaki umre u postolin.
Nima vaki testamenta.
