SPAIN
Ivan Rakitić will be disappointed in his first return to the Estadio Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán since last summer’s transfer to Barcelona as his side blew a two-goal lead versus Sevilla. The former Sevilla captain played 90 minutes in a 2-2 draw against the Andalucian club, shrinking their lead to only two points ahead of Real Madrid atop the La Liga table. Barcelona scored twice within 30 minutes to open the game behind brilliant goals by Messi and Neymar. With only seven matches remaining in the season, Barca have given rivals Real Madrid a chance to catch them. But first, the teams turn their attention to the Champions League quarterfinals this week, where Barcelona meet PSG and Real Madrid face crosstown rivals Atletico.

Messi and Neymar score brilliant goals vs. Sevilla
Luka Modrić got the start and played 61 minutes Saturday as Real Madrid made quick work of Eibar in a 3-0 win. The victory pulls Real Madrid only two points behind Barcelona for the La Liga lead. Modrić and Real take on Atletico Madrid this week in the first leg of their Champions League quarterfinal tie.
Mario Mandžukić was left off the Atletico Madrid roster on Saturday as they ended 2-2 with Malaga. In a Goal.com article earlier in the week, Atletico Madrid manager Diego Simeone stated that Mandza has had an ankle injury for the past 10 weeks. Atletico is well out of the La Liga title race, but is this a true concern for Mandza or is Simeone playing psychological warfare with Real Madrid in front of their Champions League encounter? We’ll find out Tuesday.
ENGLAND
Leicester City is on a role. And Andrej Kramarić is on the bench.
The Croatian striker watched his club’s 3-2 come-from-behind victory against West Brom entirely from the bench, and with Leicester now winning two matches in a row and only three points from relegation safety, what are manager’s Nigel Pearson’s intentions for his newly acquired striker? Leicester are within striking distance of staying in the Premiership next season. How much will Kramarić play in that role?

HSV continue to slip down the Bundesliga standings as they now find themselves rock bottom with only 25 points from 28 matches following 2-0 loss against Wolfsburg on Saturday. Former Dinamo Zagreb striker, Ivica Olić, started and played 90 minutes in the loss against his former employer. Ivica picked up a yellow card in the second half and finished the match with two shots that didn’t trouble the Wolfsburg keeper. Ivo Iličević was left off the roster sheet for HSV in the loss.
Ivan Perišić helped Wolfsburg secure at least a fourth spot in the Bundesliga which guarantees them a Champions League spot next season with the win. The former Hajduk Split prospect played 77 minutes as a right winger and finished the match with one shot on goal. Hamburg finished the match without a shot on goal.

In one of the most entertaining matches of the week, Bayer Leverkusen held on to 3-0 lead and took home the three points by registering a 3-2 win over Mainz on Saturday. Bayer gifted Mainz two penalty kicks in the the final 15 minutes to set up a nail biting finish at the Coface Arena. Former Dinamo Zagreb prospect, Tin Jedvaj, started and went the distance for Bayer in the win. Tin was called for the second penalty kick at the 90th minute of play. Luckily for him, there wasn’t much time left for Mainz to find an equalizing goal.

Inter Milan snapped a five match Serie A winless streak with a 3-0 win over Hellas Verona on Saturday. Former Dinamo Zagreb prospect, Mateo Kovačić, came off the bench in the 80th minute of play when the match was already decided and finished without registering a shot. Mateo hasn’t started for Inter Milan since March 1st.

Marcelo Brozović looks to have cemented a starting gig at Inter Milan as the former Dinamo Zagreb midfielder went the distance for Inter in the win. Marcelo played as a right winger and finished the match with two shots. The Croatian international committed a game high four fouls and picked up a yellow card late in the first half.

Napoli jumped Fiorentina in the standings with an impressive 3-0 win on Sunday. Former Hajduk Split defender, Ivan Strinić , started and went the distance for Napoli in the win. Ivan played well despite picking up a silly yellow card in the 63rd minute of play. Former Dinamo Zagreb captain, Milan Badelj, started but only lasted 69 minutes for Fiorentina in the loss. Playing as a defensive midfielder, Milan was not at fault for the first goal and he watched the second and third goal from the bench. Both teams are trying to knock off Sampdoria for the two Europa League spots next season.

Stipe Perica came on at halftime for Udinese but couldn’t do anything to overturn a 2-0 deficit as Udinese fell 3-1 at home to Palermo on Sunday. Perica finished the match with one shot as Udinese are winless in their last five Serie A matches. Igor Bubnjić looked on from the bench for Udinese in the loss.
Šime Vrsaljko remains sidelined and missed out on Sassuolo’s 2-1 loss against Atalanta on Sunday. Duje Čop looked on from the bench for Cagliari in a 2-0 loss against Genoa on Saturday.
FRANCE
Danijel Subasic kept a clean sheet for AS Monaco on Saturday, as they rolled over Caen 3-0 in an important away fixture. Subasic made two saves in the match, both routine. Monaco are in a fight for the 3rd place in Ligue 1, and the last Champions League place, with Marseille and St. Etienne. Monaco are two points up on St. Etienne and one ahead of Marseille, who have a game in hand.

UKRAINE
Darijo Srna played the full match for Shakhtar Donetsk on Saturday, as a flurry of goals in the final half hour saw his side pick up a 5-0 win over 10-man Chernomorets Odessa. Shakhtar closed the gap on leaders Dynamo Kyiv over the weekend, and are five points out of first place in the Ukranian Premier League after 19 matches.
Nikola Kalinic came on in the 65th minute on Saturday for Dnipro, but was unable to make an impact as they drew 0-0 at home to Metalist Kharkiv. The draw leaves Dnipro third in the Ukranian Premier League, three points behind Shakhtar.
Domagoj Vida played the full match for Dynamo Kyiv as theykept the Ukrainian title race interesting with a 2-2 draw at home against Zorya. The dropped points leave Dynamo five points up on Shakhtar, with seven matches remaining. The teams will meet in two weeks time, with the Ukranian Premier League title on the line.

Hvala. Not difficult on this site when you have the stupid and uneducated like buducnost posting.
You have to feel sorry for him, that type of jugo scum never welcomed in the Croatian community. Must of been difficult for him growing. Jebi ga. Blame his parents.

MelbCro,
Make sure to continue the tradition on that piece of govno. MCF
@mislov…….of course I wasn’t near the front lines, I was in the fortified basement watching it unfold on CNN and listening to short wave radio. But, I like many others have filed for a war pension and quite honestly, I deserve it.
And stop being critical of the Ustase. If there is one thing we diaspora hrvati know how to do, it’s celebrating historical that a majority of us have no clue about. Just wait until you hear from the non hrvat speaking diaspora hrvati on this topic.
Bravo Dukic! Unlike some of the stupid dumbass totalitarian fascist/commie scum above you brought more than just stupid insults. Bravo! Sorry Dukic I will never celebrate coward killers… Unarmed women and children…
You talk bad about my mother once I will ignore it, you talk bad about my mother twice I will ignore it, you talk about my mother a third time I will punch. You know who said that Mislov?
better yet, turn back from your ways, ask forgiveness, and return to the church with proper intentions
What ever happened to nine bitno?
mislov has a point. you ustase are a bunch of hypocrites. go do you thing, but disassociate yourself with the catholic church. you have no connection to it and just bring shame
@ dukic
how naive. how can you align yourself with the church? does it not teach to turn the other cheek? b/c crimes were committed against croats centuries ago, how does that give justification to commit crimes against other people in the present?
it just doesn’t jive. you are a walking contradiction and i’m happy i can at least point it out to you
Well if we rewind back in history we see that the Serbs created their “krajina” by creating a pack with the Ottoman empire, even though we had the Serbs back plenty of times in history. With Serbs their allies they pretty much committed massive genocide on the Croatian population, such as the battle of Krbavo polje and Knin. Ottoman Empire’s economy was basically just killing and trading stolen goods, therefore they would leave when they ran out of goods to steal and people to kill. Guess what happens next? Serbians come in and claim that territory as their own because the Turks killed all the men, raped their Croatian women and sent their enslaved children to be forcefully converted to Islam. That is why you have (had) a huge Serbian population throughout Lika, Dalmacija, and Bosna. That is why the Serbs were targeted during WW2 because they are cowards who stole Croatian land. Croatians never wanted anything that wasn’t theirs. So when you attack Domoljubi like the Ustasa because they did some horrible acts in a 4 year period don’t forget that Croats were receiving horrible acts themselves for over 1000 years.
We see the same exact situation in Crimea now. Russians think it’s theirs because they took it over centuries ago but historically it is Ukraine’s and always has been. It’s like saying Lika and Knin is Serbian.
I can confirm Mislov was a Footscray JUST supporter back in the old NSL, losers who used to get to head stomped in on their own turf at Schintler Reserve by Melbourne Croatia supporters.
@ sime
the picnic was in melbourne. any time i see an ustase, i shut them up quick. what can i see. i’m a real croat. 2 meters tall, 110kg. those ustase quickly starts saying “za dom, uplaseni!” when i come by
@ dukic
i celebrate the oluja, when croatia established itself as an independent country by ethical and just means.
@ ziva
sacrifice your sister? really? how about torturing people? does that achieve your greater good? we’ve known all along that you are a coward ziva. you were nowhere near the front lines when the war occurred. at least i was there, i can speak. you sit in the corner and listen to the real hrvati
Hahaha! Good one 22! Hey Dukic give me some of your stupidity!?!?
@beautiful day
LOL. 🙂
Easy on the douchebag. He will never return to this site.
^^^^ What a doucher…. Good one!
@Ante B. and Dukic
bravo, you guys put the stupid commie in his place, easy on him, you are hurting his feelings. Poor anonymous is crying now while jerking off to his Tito poster.
To finish my answer our unfortunate history hasn’t given us much to celebrate since the battle victories against the Turk. For us Dalmatinci a ray of light maybe when Napolean took over and built some roads and schools and didn’t just suck us dry. Then obviously our independence and demise of communist Yug in 91.
So if you celebrate democracy then you should have no problems with Deseti Travanj as this is a democratic country
I celebrate democracy you totalitarian fascist/commie scum.
If you didn’t celebrate 10. Travanj pre 90s, what did you celebrate? I’m curious.
Ahh 22 did I hurt your feelings??
Debeosjek…so what’s your excuse?
I knew it… I should have issued the debelisjek! Fat dudes are an embarrassment to an athletic and warrior people…
Where was that picnic mislov?
@Mislov
obvious troll
Then it’s clear that you are the Internet Rambo. Now I’m terrified.
@ ante b
Please. I stopped by a deseti travanj picnic two years ago and told them to shut their mouths. When they didn’t, i went right up to their ” leader” and punched him in the face. I waited for a response but instead their leader was on the ground just crying and the rest just stood there so i left. So much for tough guys
http://www.9news.com.au/world/2015/04/14/20/13/what-happened-to-dinamo-zagreb
It’s not a debate. Some jugos were annoyed some of us partied for Deseti Travanj. We do what we do best which is respond. I just wish that one day one of them would go to a Deseti Travanj, and start spewing.
Please not another ustasa debate. They never end well, both sides think they made a better point and both think they won. But in the end no ones minds got changed and it annoyed me. So let’s not do it .
@atletico mandzukic
I was at the game last night against Portland. Last game of the regular season and it was pretty empty in there. I’ve never seen the arenaike that. Reminds me of the Warriors when they used to suck. I’m still a laker at heart though!
@anonymous, no end justifies the stupidity in your logic
get a life you moron
Any thinking Hrvat knows that commie scum is no better or worse than an ustasa scum. Quite simple equation. The political spectrum is not a straight line but a circle. Commie and fascist scum are kissing cousins. The ends must be justified by the means…
In heels maybe.
Ante b is a 5 foot5 alpha male ..dudes brainwashed as fuck. Let the retard attend sheep events.
Me too but then again my Baka willingly gave it up to an Ustasa who had game and turned out to be my Dida. I wouldn’t consider it rape if it’s consensual. Then my mom gave it up to their son and here I am. I can personally thank the Ustase for my existence. (Hvala!)
Lovro, your argument is as weak as the source you got it from. Wikipedia and Goldstein tend to do that too. I am fat though, good call.
@lovro….I would sacrifice my sister for the greater good. As I have said, I am always willing to carry the kriz, even family members are willing to do the same.
lovro and mislov, sound like two little gay lovers, go ahead cry boys
Ante B – “Without Deseti Travanj, there would be no Hrvatska today”.
Kinda like saying if Hitler and Pavelic weren’t good friends, Mario Mandzukic would have never had a chance to play for Bayern Munich.
Ziva, Dukic, and Ante B would all be ok with their sisters and mothers being raped by the Ustasa if it meant an independent Croatia.
They’re all probably 3 fat, dorky looking guys who think it’s cool to be considered a tough guy mali ustas.
Idiots.
My dida was a ustaša too but he really wasn’t racist towards anybody. He was just a domoljub. They get a bad rep. That’s what communist propaganda is for.
Croatia would be krajina now if you were a soldier Mislov.
Then your argument is consistent of all soldiers. By your own logic, am I to be believe that all soldiers pick and choose orders? That’s a nice little dream world you live in. Without Deseti Travanj, there would be no Hrvatska today. Dalmacija was returned during NDH. Does your knowledge mostly come from Wikipedia, Mandic or Goldstein?
Mislov the Yugoslav, my grandfather may he RIP was in the Ustasa fighting for a free Croatia. You have the nerve to question me for honouring my grandfather? What a lowlife you are.
Well historically we aren’t the smartest because we are politically weak but we are really good soldiers and loyal. That’s why we let those Serbs always screw us. We saved them against Bulgaria twice jebem mu mater and they still mess with us.
Dogs are actually really smart.
@ dukic
dogs are loyal but no brain. is that you want the cro people to be
i’m a true hrvat unlike some on this site
Dogs are loyal. I like dogs.
@ Vatrena Cast go and celebrate Russell Westbrook in Oklahoma City 8th seed is still alive.
wow ante b. you think because 100,000 people are with you in cavoglave doesn’t mean that you are brainwashed?? brainwashing is most likely to occur in crowds
you said it yourself though. you would be a solider first. you would follow orders. they would tell you to kill the innocent and you would do as commanded rather than think of what is right and just
and you would do it like a dog under the leash of a dishonest master who at the same time preaches a greater croatia, gives away the coast to italy. sramota!
Also you can’t ask for an immediate answer in a post. The person can’t see it. The answer will always be an initial “nothing.”
Mislove,
It wouldn’t be my main mission to to kill women and children. My job would be to be a soldier first. And since I’m brain washed, why does Cavoglave have over 100,000 people ever year? It’s the biggest event Croatians attend. Are they brainwashed as well? I mean, they live in the Domovina too. I understand it because we celebrated Deseti Travanj before you even knew what Oce Nas was. You’re the disgrace, not us. Have fun in Kumrovec picko
You guys should’ve heard the speech yesterday by one of our župljan. It was great. If I had a vagina like Mislov I probably would’ve cried.
you ustase lovers are brainwashed. i guess the question i have for you is this. if you were in croatia in 1943, would you have been willing to kill serbian women and children?
come on ante b?
what say you?
nothing huh??? you wouldn’t do it would you? then go take your ustase non sense and shove it. you’re just a disapora wanna be hrvat you glorifies what he doesn’t understand and would never take part in any way
@mislov
Sranje si.
Pedar.
It’s not always about the numbers. San Jose doesn’t have the numbers like NY, Chicago, Cleveland, etc but the strength is in the quality. It wasn’t Cavoglave but it was a great time.
Mislove,
Cmok i jebem te u celo
@ naprid bili
lets not be stupid. there’s no denying the holocaust just like there is no denying the genocide conducted by the ustase. it is what it is. by all means, be all for an independent croatia. but to be for a state based on the murder of women, children, elderly in brutal ways….not the type of state to take pride in
@mislov
Well looks like someone’s been brainwashed by the partija’s history lessons.
Great to see that from Rakitic and Biris’ members.
Though I admire the Nor. Cal Croats for celebrating Deseti Travanj (not many Diaspora communities do so), I’ve heard that the event was not so big as @Ante B. and @Dukic are claiming. Still, better that than nothing. Zivjela NDH!
ante b and dukic really bringing shame on themselves
going for communion and then celebrating ustashe. wow..can you talk about contradictions
how do you legitimize sharing in communion with christ and his message of tolerance, love, peace, and non violence and then turning around and celebrating the massacring, genocidal ustase
you bring shame not only on yourselves but on croats and the church
Vatrena cast,
It definitely went off yesterday. San Jose rocked it
Ha, speaking of hajduk, Avdija Vrsjavec had a few choice words for the ref that day. He’s suspended indefinitely.
““Avdija Vršajević u 90. min nakon što je pretrčao gotovo pola terena za igru uputio mi je uvredljive riječi:’Đubre jedno,j… ti pas mater,kretenu,ubit ću te,smeće jedno pokvareno!’Nakon što sam mu dodijelio isključenje pokušao se fizički samnom obračunati ali je bio spriječen od kapetana gostujuće momčadi.“
good write-ups, hvala!
I’m really looking forward to the Champions league returning this week
Jure zove….
@dukic and tupacšapurger
I wish I was there! I missed the parties the last few years. In Oklahoma There isn’t really anyone to celebrate with, I miss a good San jose church party.
It’s sram VAS bilo
@ ante b and dukic
sram te bilo
http://hns-cff.hr/news/9710/huligani-napali-delegaciju-hns-a/
Best thing about this article is “Na odmorištu Zir desetak huligana s obilježjima HNK Hajduk prvo je verbalno, a potom i fizički napala delegaciju Hrvatskog nogometnog saveza.”
And then they say “Usprkos ovakvom neugodnom incidentu, svjesni smo kako ovi huligani ne predstavljaju Hajduk, navijačku skupinu Torcidu ili grad Split”
After 5 o’clock everything went slow motion.
*in line for Communion
I knew I was in trouble when I was in line and Dukic taps me on the arm and says purgeru drinks after. My car is still there. Great night
@Ante BBB
I was so hammered last night. I left without telling anybody. The harmonika was the climax for me and everything went down after that!
‘Sinjski dijamant’
God, what a great nickname.
Happy hangover all. I hope your local Deseti Travanj party was just as fun as ours.
brozovic playing at right wing… didn’t we talk about that potentially for the repka?
Anyone that follows world football knows Torres is a major downgrade over Mandzukic with a much shorter shelf life too.
That’s a massive chance Athletico was taking if they really felt that.
By the way, if you of you guys follow Serie A, Boban was in good form today discussing all the league matches on Sky. Very critical of Milan and said their players are basically average. Good tv
He is more valuable to them as a German international than Cro international. If he really wants to play for us when it’s time, he will.
@Poglavnik
I agree that they needed some forward depth, BUT I do believe that the main motivation was hoping to replace Mandzo with Torres and cash in on Mandzo’s popularity at the transfer window.
There’s nothing wrong with this (it’s good business) but you still have to factor in things such as how Mandzo now feels, after taking less money to play with Atletico only for them to try and cash in on him less than six months later. I can’t blame him or his teammates if things like this affect them, they’re only human. Atletico swung, and they missed.
@Ziva
I agree that there’s no obligation for Bayern to let him play BUT you’re missing the point. They have no problem releasing him for German international duty, but seem to have a problem releasing him for Croatian international duty.
Obviously, this is a strategic move by the club for trying to corner him into picking one national team over the other, even though they are a club team, and probably shouldn’t be influencing which nationality their dual-citizen players choose to represent.
Or e weight of the season finally caught up to Atletico. They were never going to win La Liga again, not with what they lost after season.
@maminjo……..hajduk and dinamo, especially under Mamic, have done the same when it comes to releasing players for youth national squads. This happens all the time. Clubs are under no obligation to release a player for international duty, unless it falls on the FIFA calendar dates.
^ ^
That’s a bit harsh.
He’s a club legend and they needed a bit of depth at the forward position.
Why not bring him back?
@ Peter Crouch
It’s so ironic that the Torres signing destroyed Atletico Madrid’s season. Even though he ‘s just one player who isn’t regularly starting for them, it definitely seems like it’s affected the chemistry of that team.
Check out their record before and after Torres’ signing. Might be just a coincidence, but I think Atletico got greedy and tried to substitute what Mario bring with the much cheaper alternative hoping to make a profitable sale.
If true, they got what they deserved.
Not a playmaker just a super pest that sets the tempo of getting the ball back when we don’t have it.
He does lead us in passing percentage too.
That game was dreadful.
We had no shots, only 70% passing accuracy, and 41% possession.
Way too many fouls and just no tempo to the game for either team.
3 games for us in a week probably didn’t help either, and we’re also so much better at home.
Poglavnik- I think you’re suggesting “pony boy” has become a playmaker? I saw a little of the game, it was very broken with stoppages and cards (at least in the 1st half)….little flow to the game.
I highly doubt Teibert would have created a flow and settled the play but I will wait to watch him before I throw in my judgement of him!
Torres with an own goal. He’s so useless.
@Slavonac
That Disney movie would’ve been more entertaining!
We created nothing.
More evidence that we’re better when Rusty’s in the line-up.
Hmmm.
So Bayern is trying to influence the Trograncic camp to have him play for Germany instead of Croatia, by not letting him get time off to play for the Cro junior squad, yet allowing him time off if he chooses to play for the German one.
I don’t like this, but it’s not against the rules. If the kid wants to play for Cro, then they should respect that. Hopefully, it backfires and only drives Trograncic further to play for Cro (and bail on Bayern as a free agent in favor of Borussia Dortmund). 🙂
Can’t wait to see Vukusic playing for Rijeka next year…
dannyj,
Difficult to say. The fans are crazy about him at Kortrijk and the coach supports him, even when he doesn’t play well (which happens). I don’t know if he’ll get that support in England or Italy. Yesterday he surprised me with some great technical actions. Rumor has it he will play for Krc Genk next year, one of the best teams in Belgium.
http://balkanist.net/fascist-groundhog-day-issue-za-dom-spremni-croatian-football/
So basically acknowledging that it was used before the ustasa but it’s still unusable because they used it.
So Judaism and Hinduism should stop using the swastika because the nazis used it, it’s racist.
@ Svima
Caught Real Modrić match on DVR, where I edit it to only watch when Luka touches the ball.
Little man looks sharper then ever!
Grant it was a cruise control match for him getting ready for Tuesday for Athletico Mandžukić.
Full recovery from that serious muscle tear is a relief. Luka probably has a good 3 more major tournaments in him given his game is based on intelligence and he is getting stronger defensively every year and should get more help when we bring in younger legs into the side,
We fulfill our promise these next 3 major tournaments and he will become the greatest nogometaš ever.
When does he get the captains arm band?
MR. BLACK it seems Santini is having a pretty strong year…
Do you see him switching to a bigger league soon?
I forget how old the kid is but if i remember correct he is a big boy for soccer … big physical presence
Dukic,
Italian Serie B side Pescara still owns Vukusic. But for now he’s back in Split. Waasland-Beveren talked to Ante and they agreed to terminated Ante’s contract since Ante wasn’t playing much at Waasland-Beveren. Now it’s a fact that Waasland-Beveren is not a well organized club with a lot of stability, every six months they have a new coach. But we gotta be honest, the times that Ante played, he didn’t impress.
I don’t know what’s gonna happen with Ante now. I wouldn’t be surprised to see him play in the HNL again next season.
Or Vukusic was never good to begin with and was good enough in the crappy HNL.
Poglavnik- I snuck away from watching a Disney movie with 3 of my little girls just so I can watch Russel “pony boy” Teibert …and he isn’t starting??????
Jebiga!
@ dannyj
wow, almost unbelievable to see croatia actually recruiting talented croats outside of cro. who would’ve thought we’d see the day
seems as long as there’s no interference though, that toni kid should play for cro according to his dad. i won’t try to get too hyped on a 15 yr old, but this is the recruiting approach the saves should take
Mr. Black
So Vukusic is pretty much done with Pescara and Waasland? You got any info on that? I feel bad for him. Left to save our jadan Hajduk and ruined his own career. Just shows how much Hajduk means to players.
Croatians in Belgium and Holland,
Meljnak played the entire game als RB for Lokeren against Westerlo (1-1). He did good and even had an assist.
Blazevic and Milic lost with Oostende against Mouscron (2-0). Ante Blazevic played the last 6 minutes of the game while Antonio Milic remained on the bench as an unused sub.
Waasland-Beveren lost 0-2 to Genk. Ante Vukusic is already back in Split while there was no trace of Cale, not even on the bench. It looks like Waasland-Beveren is in trouble and can’t play their players anymore.
Croatian hero of today was once again Ivan Santini. Kortrijk, with Santini 90 minutes on the pitch, beat Club Bruges with 2-0. I watched the game, Ivan didn’t score but he was great.
Cercle Bruges won their game in some silly kind of relegation playoffs. They beat Lierse with 0-1. Bacelic-Grgic was out due an injury.
Still no sign of Robert Muric at the first team of Ajax while Fran Brodic still didn’t make it to the first team of Club Bruges.
hhh,
Kramaric sat on the bench.
Hvala!
Not too banged up for that Norway game though.
http://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/3277/la-liga/2015/04/07/10527782/simeone-mandzukic-has-been-injured-for-10-games
Any idea why Mandzukic wasn’t even on the bench today?
Jadan nas Hajduk…
Leicester won today and I saw no kramaric on the field. Is he injured??
^ ^
Was thinking the same thing.
Sucks that they did just fine without him too.
What’s up with Kramaric? He went to Leicester to get minutes and the last few games he’s getting barely any or not playing at all. Is he injured?
http://www.24sata.hr/nogomet/jozak-niko-kovac-i-ja-idemo-u-bayern-po-tonija-trograncica-414097

what a scam that is
