Andrej Kramarić did it again Saturday; scoring in his fifth straight game for Hoffenheim in a 2-0 win over Augsburg. Kramarić now has tallied six goals in the past five games and is red hot with this streak which started on February 3rd. The 26 year-old Croatian striker is booming with confidence and it’s not only showing through his free kicks. He opened the scoring in the 30th minute with a cheeky header from 15 yards out to fool the goalie on Saturday and later assisted on the insurance goal. With three months until the World Cup, Kramarić is solidifying his spot as a starter in Russia.
Kramarić scores header from 15 yards out against Augsburg
Juventus loaner Marko Pjaca got the start for Schalke on Saturday and scored the 1-0 game winner in the 37th minute against Hertha Berlin to keep his side in second place in a congested Bundesliga table. Pjaca beat his defender to the ball and slotted home from eight yards out for the game’s only goal. The 22 year-old is slowly building confidence since his knee injury last year and this short loan spell looks to be successful thus far in Germany.

All Serie A matches were postponed on Sunday due to the tragic death of 31 year-old Fiorentina captain and teammate of Milan Badelj, Davide Astori. He was found dead in his hotel room in front of Fiorentina’s clash with Udinese Sunday.
On Saturday, Mario Mandžukić got the start for Juventus and played 72 minutes in a 1-0 win over Lazio. Mandza has been cold in 2018 and will require a recharge if he wants to make an impact in Russia.
In Spain’s ‘must see match’ of the weekend, the top two clubs in La Liga faced off when Atletico Madrid visited Barcelona Sunday. Both Ivan Rakitić and Šime Vrsaljko got the start for their respective clubs with Vrsaljko only playing 59 minutes. Lionel Messi’s 26th minute goal was good enough for a 1-0 Barcelona win, which now opens the gap to eight points between them and Atletico. Both Croatians picked up a yellow card in the match.
Dalic and the savez have long said they plan on bringing full force squads
Now let’s wait to hear all the crying when someone gets hurt
Wow! Dalic surprisingly names a very veteran squad for the 2 upcoming long distance friendlies. I’m sure there’s a few not so happy club coaches in Europe right about now, but fuck’em. Good for Dalic. Time is running out. Need to start forming this team with guys that will be there this summer, not guys that will feature in 2020. That being said, there is still 3 weeks left before they travel to the U. S., and that list might change a bit. Looking forward to it, either way.
Haha!
Now THAT’S a witty and funny poster on here. Good ol Ziva’s step Tata.
@Anon-Thanks for the thought,but nah, I wouldnt waste my time trying to turn truth troll toward a manly path as I tried long and hard with Ziva .I did feel I made some inroads with the lad,then he vanished.The cops checked my car from top to bottom and found some blood stains in my boot,but they turned out to be pigs blood from the spit roast Mama Istina and I had after Ziva ran away. Manhood just was not for him.I doubt truth troll could ever come close either 🙂
Witty?
Your name calling wasn’t witty, nor clever , nor funny the first time… let alone 1,000th time you repeated the same crap.
Well, sometimes I’m left with no other options. I tried to have an analytics based discussion on petrovic the other day and no one was capable of holding the conversation
So back to the witty names and insightful commentary i suppose
@anonymous. That’s funny man!
Truth Troll just cant stopp calling kids mean names. Ziva’s Tata needs to put you in timeout sine.
Unfortunately pee ass a is likely to find himself riding pine again next week as schalke gets their suspended player back
Schalke tried really hard to include a buy out clause in that loan deal with Juventus for Pjaca, but Juve wanted no part of it.
Juve have been hit with some unexpected injury and fitness issues lately. Lots of Italians I know are telling me that Juve is regretting the loan move. The race is tight between Juventus and Napoli this year. Napoli has a great starting eleven, but Juve always had the depth to field a team for 38 games (plus Champions League)… But that depth has been lost recently (and only one point separates them with Napoli). That final Juve vs Napoli game will be a classic.
Truth is nothing but a troll with the mentality of a 4th grader
Hey guys, listen to the Truth, beyond scoring the lone goal Pjaca “did absolutely nothing the rest of the game.”
Ignore his impressive skill & power in the first highlight in the link below, in soccer lay man terms “beating the defense and blasting a rocket ftom 30 yards that the goalie could only punch away, leaving Schalke with another good opportunity is equivalent to a whole bunch of ” nothing” according to the Truth:

Well i think I’m right yet again
I first billed kramaric as me first: correct
But also as a serviceable player who the coach should start and should play overt mandzujic: correct
Just last week i said it’s a shame pee-ass-as coach had more faith in other guys because pee-ass-a has actually produced in his return so far. I went so far as to say that even with pee-ass-a’s ass on the bench, he might still be our best option on the right wing
It’s tough being right so often
Although I’d take pee ass a s game with a grain of salt. He did absolutely nothing else the rest of the game
Well taken goal by Pjaca. Even though Schalke’s coach has used Marko sparingly, in 193min of league play, he’s scored 2 goals–not too shabby if ya ask me!
Kramaric’s finally back to his best. I think his coach did him (and us) a favor by putting Krama in the Dog House for a bit. To straighten him out. He was being too selfish. Anyway good to see him return to form.
I admit I was wrong and I apologize. I have made many mistakes in the past
Kramarić on a goal streak? A slightly injured Pjaca scores?
Truth is on suicide watch.
your mom is high scoring
The Bundesliga used to be high scoring these days not so much.
^^”still injured” Pjaca plays…
Me first Kramaric also with the assist on the 2nd goal in only 73 mins.. Me first Kramaric needs to be benched again for selfishly scoring & assisting! I think Hoffenheim’s coach & black midfielder who called Kramaric out for being selfish, should both be shipped out of the Bundic Liga.
When “still injured” plays, he sure is productive. I actually don’t want him to play too much, he is important to our efforts to shock the World this summer.
Kramaric with 6 goals in the last 5 games
5 games in a row
Damn kramaric with a nastyyyy header from far for a goal streak continues
Pjaca starting and just scored a goal
Methinks money will move around… Lawyers will get extra pay and Modi will avoid jail.
What about the emerging news that Suker was illegally elected as president?
Is it too dangerous for this to be a topic on here considering the websites links to the HNS? We might miss out on more breaking news articles like Croatia v Brazil at Stamford Bridge -__-
Whoops me again.
Maybe he’ll get a slap on the wrist like all those tax evading stars in Spain.
Jebiga looks Like Luka is hit. Unless there is something we don’t know like mamic threatening him to change his testimony. Perjury is no joke even u lijepa Naša. I just hope it’s delayed until after the World Cup, They can have him after that hahaha
I like Zdravko Mamic, Mamic is ok.
Agreed.
Eh man just trying to promote a little bit of ‘truth’-based journalism; something from a bygone era that’s due for a revival.
@ T Bone,
My bad. Take it easy.
Found guilty of or charged with perjury? What kind of gossip rag is this website?
