@ Ziva,
I’ve done the Zadar-Split trip many times.
You sir get a ‘Line of the Year’ nomination from me for that one. I’ve never actually done anything in Sibenik though. I always only tend to sit at the kolodvor for the five minute break and move on.
What am I missing?
Fuck, Lika is the Appalacia of Hrvatska. Were goddamn croatian hillbillies.hahaha
Ice loves Coco
Who doesn’t love sibenik…..fucken ipad
@sibenik…..stari nemoj tako……
I love sibenik. All of us here love sibenik. How doesn’t love sibenik. If it wasn’t for sibenik how the hell would any of us know we were about halfway to zadar or split.
@ Sibenik u circu
Why take it as an insult? I hear Alabama is a nice place. Maybe Ziva sees it as his sweet home alabama, and he just wanted everyone to know this. 😉
.
What does u circu mean?
@Ziva
Sibenik is the Alabama of Croatia eh? Its cretins like you that perpetuate the disunity of Croatians. I don’t think you know your head from your ass son. Fucking budala.
SRETAN USKRS 2 ALL !!!!! BOG-HRVATI,i HAJDUK
Good to see Jelavic delivering on expectations. Pranjic has to play in the left wing from the first match against Ireland. Most of Jelavic’s 5 or 6 goals have come from a fast WB making a probing run and dishing the ball to Jela in the center. Add Perisic to that role and Jelavic will score goals this summer guaranteed.
I heard it’s only on rare occasions when Ziva Istina talks about himself in the third person.
douche
@Ziva:
I heard Jelavic’s Uncle likes to wear Suker jerseys with golf shoes while talking about himself in third person on soccer sites. Taking about yourself in 3rd person gives me douce chills.
N Bitno, awesome ytube video 4 the our great team HAJDUK. Everybody should watch this and see the pride . Thank U
You guys will never have this! Ljubav mog zivota.

Uvik su postojala 2 prva kluba u Hrvatskoj; Hajduk I Dinamo., ali neznan jos di tu spada neka Armada za koju niko nije cuja. Split – Zagreb, uvik na vrhu, pa kako bude, Istra (Armada) di ih dopadne, isto ka sta neznaju kojoj drzavi pripadaju (ili Hrvatskoj, Italiji ili Yugoslaviji) tako se nezna niti sudbina kluba armada. Samo se nadajte
Dodgers win . Angels lose . TORCIDA always a winner
N Bitno great call on youtube. Naprid Bili !!!
@Ante B – Yup. Sharks beat the Kings 3-4 which means San Jose took the 7th seed and LA has the 8th and have to play Vancouver while Sharks play St. Louis.
^That was me, Ante B.
Hey guys,
My internet is down. Did the Sharks yet again beat the Kings tonite to now face the St. Louis Blues instead of the Vancouver Cannucks like the LA Kings?
What was the score? Damn this internet for not working.
Armada is one of my favorite posters on the site. I can’t wait to meet you in May. He speaks the truth and doesn’t shy away from speaking his true emotion. Also I love the fact that he isn’t a homer (like a good majority of you especially you clowns that voted that Croatia will win Euro Cup) and isn’t totally negative (Ziva the whack job). Learn from him! I don’t usually praise people on the site but you deserve it.
Way too much HNL talk, boring. When Ante V becomes relevant around Europe then I’ll actually start caring.
Im just happy that Im not Italian. At least as far as my family tree goes. Slight possibility that my paternal grandmas name traces back as italian.

For all Hajduk and Dinamo fans if you haven’t watched this check it out.

Sibenik has always been the Alabama of dalmacija. Every region has their inbreds and sibenik is that for dalmacija.
I Hate Simunic, ,. just kick him from Squad.;
Sibenik has always been more pro-Dinamo than Hajduk. It’s wierd, but its been the case since I can remember
Veliki pozdrav iz Brodarice-Sibenik!
All of you regular pijanci know me: Ziva Svircina, (no relation to ziva istina, besides the Hajdukovac part). I will be posting and commenting as ZS from Croatia for the next month or so. My boss thinks that I am biking across america, wouldn’t want her to see my name online.
@Ziva Istina,
golf? you cant be serious. I would almost rather watch Sibenik-Dinamo. Key word “almost”.
surprisingly, I know a few people that went to the game tonight. Lots of Dinamo fans in Sibenik. I still dont fully understand. Some people tell me that the city of Split has been f**king over Sibenik for a long time. Some people tell me its Ustase supporting the “real croatian team”.
CS is boycotting the HNL, so I cant comment…haha..
samo vino… ribe… vino… skoljke… rakija.. viski.. a sutra janjetina…
tezak dalmatinski zivot… jebiga…
If I was already a lazy dalmatinac in L.A….. what does that make me now in Dalmacija?
By the way I just saw something that is more disturbing than grown men who wear jerseys with a name on that back……people who are attending a golf event are are wearing golf shoes. Just noticednthis while watching the Masters. Only thing that would be better is seeing someone in the Masters crowd with a jersey on while wearing golf shoes.
Yeah….Rijeka. Getting a bunch of 30- somethings that nobody else wants won’t help Rijeka.
A back line of vranjes and biscan screams everything but a winner.
who let armada in? nobody likes armada.
Došli smo vam rušit kuće domove
Neka naša pjesma svud odjekuje
Neka cijela Rijeka sada zna, da došla je Torcida

Došli smo vam rušit kuće domove
Neka naša pjesma svud odjekuje
Neka cijela Rijeka sada zna, da došla je Torcida
I bit će nereda i bit će nereda!!
all you hajdukovaci need to take those homer glasses off and maybe give them a good cleaning. Vukusic as a starter in the Euro?! LOL And the funnier part is, a few of you nutjobs think this too!
and to all the torcida out there – Rijeka is gonna load up even more this summer with former NT players/rejects and come next season’s jadranski derbi, Rijeka is gonna come down to Split and spank you guys 3-0. You heard it here first! Then all of Hajduk nation on this site will go silent…
SAMI PROTIV SVIH! AJMO RIJEKA!
Not only that, I also predicted Jesus would rise from the dead.
Ziva,
You deserve a lot of credit for your Dinamo as HNL champions predicition. Some said Hajduk, but you were right all along about Dinamo. Your prediction of La Liga being won by one of Real Madrid or Barcelona is looking like a reality too. Not to mention your prediction of one of the Manchester clubs, Spurs, Chelsea or Arsenal winning the EPL title too.
You should run a psychic agency. 😉
.
Less titles, bigger petokraka, older fans and Tito’s favorite team. Evo ti hajduka. Also add no european trophies.
Our History shows who is the Greatest team in Croatia. Its HAJDUK hands down!!!!!
Another year, another chanpionship for the Purgeri in Blue. Anybody see how many dinamovci are in Sibenik? I’m amazed. I think it’s the only city in Dalmacija that has an equal amount of blue and whites.
Next year tovari. I’m sad for you but when you’re a champion you really don’t give a shit. Hajduk zivi vjecno in second place.
DINAMO ZAGREB
2011-2012 HNL CHAMPIONS
I naprijed Plavi…
Quick little update for you tennis fans:
Cilic/Karlovic currently in the 5th set of their Davis Cup quarterfinal match with Argentines Nalbandian/Schwank. It was 1-1 going into this match so odds on favorite to move on and possibly play Serbia will go to the victor of the doubles.
Cilic v Del Potro tomorrow. Karlovic v Nalbandian
@Ziva,
You were correct once again. I thought it would be 7-9 points but Dinamo is far superior to any other HNL team. Get off that iPad!!!!
By the way, Ziva Istina got another one right again ( i love going third person). There were some blind Hajduk homers on here when the season began thinking Hajduk could actually compete with Dinamo this year. I think I mentioned Dinamo would win by 15-18 points.
And now we have the leadership of hajduk caliming they will eliminate all the bog contracts and they will no longer sign players to contracts more than 200K Euros…..would love to see the type of talent they think they can get for so cheap.
Just more of the same in the HNL…..the time in nearing to cut the league down to 4 teams. Really the only way for a competitive league.
Lets call uo Srdjan Andric while we are at it!!!
@dukic…..you won’t find a bigger hajdukovac than me, but if you think hajduk has conducted themselves as “posten” these last seven years then you are naive. Hajduk is no better than mamic and dinamo. Dinamo just happens to be much better at it.
VUKUSIC
HAJDUK WINS !!!!!! Vulusic to Euros for sure! Naprid BILI!
hajduk won 1-0. vukusic goal.
How’s Rakitic been playing lately?
Happy Easter everyone!! Mandzukic and Jelavic finding the back of the net…i heard Modric was a sleep today..did not see his game.Our striker’s hopefully can keep up this form.
Good on Jelavic to keep that form of his going. He’s a must-start for our national team. Bilic must play him the full 90 minutes these next two friendlies, and experiment with playing him alongside Mandzo/Perisic/Olic up front and see what is most effective.
Bilic also has to try out Srna/Kranjcar/Ilicevic and Perisic/Rakitic/Pranjic on both wings and focus their time on offense and trying to get our tall and strong strikers the ball with quality crosses. I don’t want to see any of these guys playing any of that LB or RB bullshit. Leave those two positions to our defenders in the Strinic/Corluka/Vida camp.
If we’re gonna beat those Leprechauns and Mexicans in June, it will be from our superior height advantage up front and our play on the flanks.
Hey mali.They do cardio,and not only 2 run 2 the frige 4 a beer. Whats the Hajduk score?
@ivica
i agree with you. im a big fan of vrsaljko. he is going to be big time. proud he is a zadranin too. kovacic is also going to be big time obviously. im hoping vukusic doesnt make a move like kalinic to the epl. cro strikers sucks there.
of course im joking about vukusic starting but i think he should be taken to the euros for that confidence booster.
I don’t see Vukusic contributing to our national team this year, but I can see the value in calling him up for the Euros. I think it should be common practice to call up one young player at each position every tournament just for development purposes.
Let’s face it…you’re not going to go to the Euros with the intentions to play a 23-man rotation. This isn’t hockey. All you need are your starting eleven, three substitutes, and a few more players as buffer in case of cards and injuries. 18 players should do the trick. 20 if you’re Turkey. But those last three spots on the team should be reserved for 19-20 year olds that you call up solely for development purposes (and maybe some minutes in garbage time if the game is meaningless). I could totally see the value in calling up Kovacic, Vrsaljko, and Vukusic for those last three spots.
In the case with our forwards, we already have Jelavic, Mandzukic, Olic that will all likely see some playing time (with two of those likely starting). Perisic can play some minutes in a second striker role (he’s actually even capable of starting IMO), and you also have Klasnic who’s managed to score 8 EPL goals this year too. If you’re not sold on the depth above, you can still call up Eduardo and hope he somehow comes back to form. After this you have Kalinic and Petric.
With Jelavic, Olic, Mandzo likely to play almost all our our minutes at forward (with Perisic likely to play some minutes too up front, and Eduardo being called up in case of cards/injuries), is it reasonable to believe that we really need any one of Klasnic, Kalinic or Petric to warm the bench? I’d rather just call up a young player for that roster spot.
Sretan Uskrs!!!!
@Curt:
That is a skill, not doubt about it. No cardiovascular conditioning required. Similar to golf, but you have to be reasonably fit for golf.
Hey mali. U hit a hard ball coming at u at 90+ miles an hr.Naprid bili!
allen you watch wwf… must i say more?
Nah, it’s just some friendly banter. He’s just mad because his team is AGAIN second best. I think he’s too excited about Vuksic tho. I mean, he scored against Karlovac… I could do that too, Dukic! 🙂
Dukic is slowly becoming my least favorite poster on the site. When are we going to have the option of ignore button on the site.
Sedam godina za redom….bravo!
AGAINST MOD€RN FOOTBALL!
Ha, I’ll take the 7 years of championships! There is no honesty in the HNL haha. DINAMO!!!!
bolje 7 godina za redom biti casno i posteno drugi nego 7 godina za redom osvojit kupljene titule!
PURGERSKE PICKE!!!
ANTE VUKUSIC FOR EURO 2012 STARTER!
dinamo is clinching the league championship today. 2-0 over sibenik and last I heard, Hajduk is locked 0-0 with Karlovac. That’s your HNL update for the day.
Congrats to dinamo on their 7th championship in a row!!!!
hajduk up 1-0. guess who scored. ante vukusic!
What is their to talk about these days? Videos will be in full force when Croatia friendlies come around then of course the Euro Cup games.
Jelavic is looking sharp but Everton has some guys that know how to put a great ball in. Hopefully Srna learns how to consistently cross a ball.
@ziva
Can you elaborate?
I wake up this morning and watch Jelavic scored two and Mandzukic with a header…..not bad.
Jelavic on fire…good to see. Hopefully his uncle doesn’t do anything stupid to celebrate.
Jelivic is on fire! The guy cant miss in his everton jersey.
2 goals so far against norwich
Jelavic with the brace (so far) …
Hahahaha Allen complains about us talking about sports that he calls “boring and irrelevant” so he brings up the topic of NBA. Talk about ironic. You’re great, dude. And when’s you next video coming out? you promised us one like twice this year.

What a borrrr ing game Modric playing like garbage -U-
@Curt :
I know the rules.
Rule #1: You can play with a beer belly.
Rule #2: Games are stretched out for 4.5 hours because of commercial breaks.
Hajduk zivi vjecno fuck I didn’t know it was December guess I should do my xmas shopping hahaha Sretan Uskrs -U-

By the way congrats to Mario Cilic!
What do you guys think of this websites analysis for cro in the euro? I found it pretty interesting.

@Pog. Thats y they call it the dog days of summer.U need 2 win in those days 2 make it 2 the playoffs
@Ziva. I thaught u were cool. Guess not
Baseball is great in September and October..
Although it is kind of hard to give a shit when game #124 is being played in the middle of the summer.
LOL…..we have some fool wishing people a Badnji dan.
Mali , Baseball is a great sport.If u know the rules!
@Ivan:
I think that article is decent regarding our group. 2nd place behind Spain is achievable. Whether or not that happens is another story.
Hockey is great, except that America ruined it. When I started watching the NHL around 1980, they would have commercials when the glass broke, net came off the mooring etc.
Play was never stopped for commercial breaks. Unfortunately, that is not the case now.
CS.com should interview my childhood idol Mark Pavelic. Just a thought.
Is baseball really a sport? It is more of a skilled activity.
Dobra vam veliki petak .No meat today. Hajduk zivi vjecno!
I’m not for Sharbini being on the repka but he has been on the repka roster before -U-
if vukusic starts we are winning the euros.
@allen outraged Cro can beat anyone when they gel and play well croatia always comes out for a big team..remember italy 2002,98 world cup,england,last euro we had everything but luck..i watched spain barely tie COSTA RICA,loose to the USA,and loose to italy…anything can happen!we have to be positive..Daj Boze we are going to have a great tourmament..modric still has not been at his best for the national team..I expect a big tournament from him..we got screwed last time out!!! not this one!!
Dodgers at San Diego tonight.Can not wait!
Outrage.Learn the rules
He is a God in Donetsk (really) which is why he has stayed so long. But to me, its lack of ambition. Shakhtar had one decent year where they made the quarters in the CL and actually played decently against Barca, but other than that they aren’t a top 10 European team like Srna always talks about
Yea, Srna should’ve left to play in England when he was a Free Agent a year or two ago. It was originally a part of his plan (or so it was as per all his comments in the media) unless he just said it to drive his contract value up before meeting with the Shaktar owners. I’m sure they gave him a nice cash bonus to stick around. It’s a shame. I think Srna would’ve done well on a much more high profile team in England.
If Croatia makes the semifinals, I will call Slaven Billc a master mind. Those predictions are ridiculous, how in the world will Croatia beat Italy and France. That’s insane but if it happens, I’ll get on my knees and bow down to a picture of Slaven and whatever heroes play a part in those wins.
Baseball and hockey are being discussed really? Let me know when sports that aren’t boring or irrelevant start to begin discussed.
Heat beat Thunder on Wednesday. YES YES YES
Shakhtar look like having a bad season for their standards, last in their CL group which wasn’t that difficult and possibly not even winning the Ukrainian league. Dynamo Kiev isn’t even that great of a squad either
We’re taking it over. It’s hockey time. Plus… Not much has happened in the world of soccer the past day or so. There’s only so much we can talk about Jelavic, Olic, and potential lineups for Euro.
dinamo plays tomorrow. We’ll talk about that after it happens.
sveto ime dinamo
Weekend soccer talk
why are we talking about hockey?
It’s sad because the Sharks-Kings rivalry isn’t even a rivalry anymore. We just own the Kings now. This is Sharks territory.
Ha, hate to break it to ya bud, but New Jersey isn’t making it to the semis. Going to by NY-Pitt. Jersey may beat Miami, but then they will probably have to play Boston, and that’s it for them.
@ Colin i hate the pens my semi final east devils vs rangers-Pens-Boston
@ Zivo Blato – Pens are winning it this year. You heard it here first.
Kvragu Cupeeeeeee!
@Len
It is Veliki Petak, not Badnji Dan (Badnji Dan is a day before Christmas). It is the day to try hardeer not to hate anybody and to try your best to be a better person today then you were yesterday.
croatia should be playing 4-1-2-1-2
plete in goal
corluka lovren vukojevic strinic
srna as cdm
ilicevic as rw
perisic as lw
modric as cam
jelavic and olic as our strikers
what more can our team even do this is like our top talent
best moment in croatian club soccer the past 10 years probs when ante scored against anderlecht! vukusicu ante sinjski dijamante!!!!!!!!!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7mzMkdtJedc This is the best song ever!
DA!
Dobra vam badni dan
The TORCIDA love all sports ! Srce za HAJDUKA !
Yeah, I’m sure the Torcida are up every night to watch baseball.
Dodgers win opening day. Angels opening game is tonight.TORCIDA 4 LIFE !
@ hockey fans i know we are off topic but the NHL is great but i do miss the old nhl since 2008 it been a kiss ass league to pens bruins and i hate them, I am a DEVILS fan, LA KINGS Kopitar i from slovenia and the Sharks have a croatian Vlasic!
@Ante B – Yeah, Sharks made the playoffs last night, but the Kings are in it too, so no real loss for them. Doesn’t matter, San Jose will probably play St. Louis and lose in the first round anyway. Small chance they will play Chicago, but they will still lose in the first round.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oFzlrODzh4M This is Vukusic!
ANTE VUKUSIC SINJSKI DIJAMANTE Id call Vukusic and Kovacic as the 2 young players 24 and 25 on roster.http://www.index.hr/sport/clanak/nemoguc-scenarij-eura-hrvatska-ce-izbaciti-francusku-i-ispasti-u-polufinalu-od-novih-prvaka/608357.aspx
Also,i almost forgot, Bog-Hrvati,i Hajduk. Happy Easter to all 🙂
Interesting Predictions on Soccerlens.com about Euro…
http://soccerlens.com/euro-2012-predictions/91897/
The L.A. Kings got robbed last night
Ante,
Please stop. Not only was that tripping call on Kopitar bogus because he didn’t even touch him, but Clowe on the bench reaching his stick onto the ice. Please!!
The refs obviously missed those calls on purpose. I’m cynical. Great game to end the regular season Saturday night in SJ.
If you discredit any of the above, all your credibility gets flushed down the toilet. Just say “I’ll take it” or something like that and we’ll be on with it.
Asking a hajdukovac to be realistic is like asking the Pope to be a stripper at a bachelor party.
In non soccer related news, did the Sharks beat the Kings last night in a shoot out to make the playoffs again?
Vukusic? haha, man we know you love your hajduk, but be realistic. Give him 3 or 4 more years, then we’ll talk.
Who????^^^
ante vukusic for starter in euros!
