19 year-old Josip Brekalo is this weekend’s ‘Croatian Star’ with his 51st minute game winner for Stuttgart Friday night versus Borussia Dortmund. Brekalo came off the bench at halftime and made a long run down the right flank right into the box, faking a shot with his right and ultimately beating the keeper with his left foot. Brekalo is currently on loan to Stuttgart from Wolfsburg but made his move to Germany from Dinamo Zagreb in 2016. Brekalo is a youth product for Dinamo Zagreb and but only capped by the senior side eight times during the 2015-16 season.
Brekalo Goal vs. Borussia Dortmund
Luka Modrić played the full match Saturday as his Real Madrid side took on Atletico in the Madrid derby. The match ended in a 0-0 draw but Modrić was given a ‘7’ grade as he “got along with Isco; Real’s shining light in midfield, but needed more support around him.” With the draw, Real Madrid now trail La Liga leaders Barcelona by 10 points. Ivan Rakitić played the full match for Barca this weekend in a 3-0 victory over Leganes.
Dejan Lovren is slowly regaining his confidence at Liverpool and Saturday’s 3-0 win over Southampton can only help. Lovren played the full match, picked up a yellow card and was given a ‘7’ grade as he was “much maligned but produced several brilliant blocks and fans approved.” With Vedran Ćorluka coming back from injury in the spring, Lovren may be coming off the bench in Russia if he doesn’t start 2018 strong.
Ivan Perišić played the full 90 minutes for Inter Milan Sunday in a 2-0 win over Atalanta. The win keeps Inter two points behind leaders Napoli in Serie A. Ivan Strinić played the full game for Sampdoria as they shocked Juventus 3-2. Both Juve goals came in injury time. Mario Mandžukić also played the entire match for Juventus, who now trail Napoli by four points.
@Elvis
A wise man once said,
“Whoever loves something in itself and for its own sake consequently loves all the things in which it is found: for example, he who loves sweetness for itself must love all sweet things.”
Using that logic, I’d like to ask you, do you love white people for themselves and for their own sake?
Yawn , let’s just give our country to the underachieving blacks.

That’s a good thing about all the religions, Catholicism/Christianity, Judaism/Pharisaism and Islam etc., although we all believe that there is only one true faith and disagree with each other on matters of faith and what’s true and what’s false, the one thing we all agree on is that racism has no place in any of our religions.
Some of you need to stop living in a fantasy land and embrace the reality, I hope my comment helps some of you.
@Crnkovic I appreciate your stand for the good and what’s right. Carry on brate….
Keep up the Soccer analysis too brate. I enjoy reading your thoughts along with couple others here. I, too am optimistic we can get a solid run in Russia. Hopefully we stay healthy and get players off injury and in form by summer to open options i.e. Kovacic, Pjaca, Jedvaj, Badelj, Corluka.
Hope some of our questionable starters continue to get major minutes with their clubs i.e. Strinic, Lovren, Brozovic.
Time will confirml but we have gone in the right direction coaching-wise…. makes me laugh when I see posts that diminish that aspect of the team performance.
Sports site?
Chuck Berry was the real King. Even Elvis would say so.
hehe good
We cool. We all know you are prone to more impulse emotional outbursts. Doesn’t surprise anyone. One love.
Modric needs to shut Ronaldo’s ass up.
I saw you’re half black, I embrace all good people regardless of anything…that includes deformation, color, religion….you mentioned Jesus…do something good for someone you don’t know…don’t ask if you can help, just do it. don’t wait for a response or acknowledgement…do this when you can and as often as you can…..we all talk the talk about being good Catholics and I laugh that people think being a good one means we attend church and don’t make too many sins until the next confession, then we wash away our sins…hahaha…
I was raised by a saint. a woman that told me to share my lunch and stand up for the underdog. she taught me to recognize those that hide because they feel “out of place” or “not as cool”…I was lucky to have been raised by parents that believed in helping people but I know that its always easier to not help at all.
I don’t need a lecture on racism although I admit, I’ve made racist comments throughout my life!
ok ok brother. thanks. we cool. i got a bit upset you know? its understandable i think
racist people and those that make hurtful comments have their own demons crnkovic! people that live that way are unhappy and have hatred in their heart….you can’t change their deep hatred so don’t try!
I simply spoke about Elvis cause I always loved the guy…and I grew up loving Jimi Hendrix, Boney M, Kool and the Gang, Lionel Richie, Michael Jackson…kinda bugs me to think someone wouldn’t praise talent when it deserves to be recognized.
slavonac lol. ok elvis was great, i admit. big hug lol. shouldn’t gone that far to bring up elvis, that was low elvis (i know he can see us and hear us) please forgive me. you de king xx
^^
what did I say that is racist? what did I say wrong? I challenged you about your Elvis comment and now you talk about Jesus?
I’m against racists!
not you slavonac. others. im responding to racist bigoted gobshites on this site. i know you well enough
ever hear of a guy called Jesus? what did he stand for? white supremacy? lmfao. what happened to him? why didnt they like him? you cant just make up a reality that suits your worldview “oh ya im a catholic but i ignore the teaching of jesus but the irish are our catholic brothers but not the blacks who are catholic and its all the fault of the commies…” come on people. its time to stop that shit. fucking embarassing. see ya much later
I don’t think I made a racist comment…not sure what you’re talking about?!
hahaha….Bruce Lee learned martial arts from others…and became better than them, you make no sense!
Elvis was originally a gospel singer, he was raised in the South…what the hell did you expect him to learn? you’re trying to say that Elvis only became famous and labeled the “King” because he was white? not based on his talent?
whatever man, you’re purely baiting! Elvis learned music in church, just like Maradona learned to play soccer on the street…do we have to tell people Maradona shouldn’t be honored because he didn’t invent skills and talent? maybe we should go back and say Eusebio was the reason Maradona was ever recognized?
you’re delusional! Elvis was the “King” because he was incredibly good…and a good guy too! people recognized his talent…I don’t think anyone was nearly as good as he was during that era and people today still love him!
you say i’m baiting people? who coming on here making stupid, nasty, racist, bigoted comments? no else on here prepared to shool them? i’ll fucking school them. its fucking embarassing that people calling themselves croats talk such ignorant dogshit. i care about my people so i want them to locate their brain and flick the dusty old ON switch
elvis was good. others were better. im not baiting people. im speaking the truth. if you cant handle that im sorry for you. the point is that what elvis was doing was black music! i dont have a problem with that, what i have a problem with is racist people liking elvis and not the people he learned 90% of his act from. dont fuck with me slavonac i guarantee i’ll take you to the cleaners. if you’re looking for ignorance look a little closer to home. im not a higher moral person, i’m just a normal guy speaking the truth. if you feel like that sound mrorally superior then step up your game and join the 21st fucking century
crnkovic, please don’t start with the race baiting here. you’re a good guy but these comments are ridiculous and looking for trouble:
“why elvis is the king? why not bb king? or little richard? cos he white.”
was Michael Jackson white? what about Lionel Richie? Jimi Hendrix? Ray Charles? Barry White? Ben E King?
pretty ignorant comment!
Elvis was just wayyyyyyy better and most people agree….you say its cause people were racist? thats garbage dude, a real ignorant comment!
some people say its racist to criticize Mario Balotelli and yet that fucker has thrown darts at people, insulted people publicly while screaming and insulting them in a restaurant…and yet some pricks say the criticism of Balotelli is because he’s black? really?
don’t act like you’re some higher moral person, you just insulted one of the best artists of all time and said people liked him better cause he was white….so stupid!
racism is an invention of the elites. to all my right wing libertarian brothers. racism is an invention of the elites. now sing: sweet home alabama!!!
proud to be croat. proud to be zambian. proud of my scottish and english grandparents heritage. proud of the irish even though i’m not Irish. proud of all the good people i meet. for being good when its never been easy. racism is not evil its just stupidity. throw it off like a dirty old jacket
whats the difference in time over 100 meters for a black an asian a jew an arab a white man? as a percentage? tiny. so even if you believe in racial attributes you are still talking about less than a 2% difference. can that be why the world is like it is? because of a 2% difference in natural aptitude? how many people out there super intelligent but do stupid things. i have a big IQ but i make some stupid decisions. my life doesn’t reflect my IQ it reflects my emotionsl responses and decision making ability, these reflect my life history and personality which has nothing to do with IQ.
i have a friend. one my older brothers best friends from back in zambia. he’s white, not that it makes a difference. he’s one of the the worlds leading geneticist. he says that as we all began in africa, we all took african genes on our migration. each race is a different branch off of the african tree. but the entirity of the human genetic range is still in circulation within africa. what this means is that within and between two nigerian villages there is more genetic variation than in the rest of the worldsds population put together. whiteness is a lack melanine in the skin, not an added whiteness. its pale brown. the bell curve distribution shows that the wider the base of variation the higher the potential peak. this is the proper explanation for blacks having the fastest times. the fastest runner will always be black because of greater access to all possible genetic combinations. the most intelligent person will also always be black. so will the slowest runner, and the dumbest person because of greater potential in either direction. the differences that you see in the world beyond that reflect social and economic, cultural realities. if you kick a dog everyday it doesnt matter what genetics the dog has he’s going to be weak and cowering in the corner, prone to unpredictable angry outbursts. trying to explain the world according to ethnic, racial and genetic factors is beyond stupid.
elvis, a white man getting fame by copying the black man and taking advantage of the inherent racism in the system. why elvis is the king? why not bb king? or little richard? cos he white. credit where it’s due, respect and acknowledgment for all people and they’re contribution and their struggle in this difficult world. yiu want to be a baby and play toy soldiers? thats up to you
elvis, you don’t know what you’re talking about. i deal with logic and reason. put things on a level where we can deal with each point on its merits according to the facts and i will completely dismantle you. but not here, its a sports website. still love you though cos we brothers
@soulchamp, i predict strinic will play the world cup and score a wonder goal to beat argentina in the quarters, shut us all up
@ crn
You are a Marxist cunt.
You don’t live in an urban areas do you? They are not our burden.
judging by some of the comments here, average croatian IQ somewhere around 75-80. most intelligent people i ever met in my life. 2 zambian, 1 angolan. genius scientist, genius mathmetician and just plain genius who drives the buses in london. 1 white, 1 mixed, 1 black. in any case IQ (mine is a 143) is a stupid thing. its culturally biased to a massive extent, it is also gender biased which is why women have a lower average IQ. because of early childhood expectations etc. most women are emotionally more intelligent than men but how does an IQ test show or value that. its so stupid. a lot of the people here, not all of course, you know who im talking about, are stuck in a late 19th century to mid 20th century mindset. a pseudoscience that was propagated to justify the unjustifiable…and if you can work out what that really means stick another 10 on your IQ score.
No such thing as a black Croatian period.
Why do people need to know everything?
Does it make them feel more secure thinking they have all the answers? Just like religion. Who cares!
Live by the golden rule and enjoy your lives.
If your athletic, pretty sure your part African, part Croatian – Dalic, Lamar
..hope you didn’t pay for that info. My identical twin and I sent away and received two completely different results.
I thought the 3 geniuses were gonna be Mamic, Dalic and Suker tbh
Man we need some more soccer action. Forget this back and forth stuff
If u on this site love Croatia and tingle when u think of going back then u good with me!
Anyone want to break down our talent like say 18 and up
Like who actually has a shot at the senior squad
Might be fun to talk bout
I remember couple years back someone did it
Too bad we didn’t have that discussion to see how we did with predictions
Evu Uje- in fact the opposite is true. Your genome, and your mtDNA are incredibly good indicators of your heredity.
I have been tested and have 0 African in my dna. Not sure where I got my atheticism, but it sure wasn’t Africa. If you have African dna, we are happy for you.
Toljan fans, I have watched him. I’d say half his decisions are idiotic impulse decisions, while the other half plays intelligent soccer.
Iggy- the 3 are Idemo, Poglavnic, and Crnackovic.
Crnackovic – your Hindu vs normal Muslim scenario was the fuckan most idiotic thing ever posted on this forum. That is hard to do. Congrats.
None of us know exactly who we are.
Sure, most of us can back 200-300 years with handed down family trees, but, beyond that, how the fuck do you actually know who you are and where your ancesters came from?
Some of us might have been totally Serbian, Turkish, Greek, Romanian, etc up until the 1200’s (for example), and then slowly started inter-marrying.
There’s no way in fuck of finding out, so, why in God’s name would you waste time on such stupidity.
If you want to claim you know exactly who your ancestors are from 700-1100 AD, and that back then, you were pure-bred Croat, knock yourself out.
Pretty good chance there was a black guy or two in all of our backgrounds – maybe we’ve been bleached enough since.
That fucking argument is just as good as yours.
Anonymous – you’re flying a kite without a string. Kobilo.
considering 3 out of the 30 smartest people in the world alive today are cro
sorry, forgive my ignorance but who?
@ANONOMOUS ..OK I fucked up wrong wording ..mulatto .whatever ya nesnam .Just saying croatian dna is very gifted in sports and brain power ..considering 3 out of the 30 smartest people in the world alive today are cro.Im no where near a 200 iq.Its all good I’m a proud hrvat.. all the other ex Yugo countries are jeolous as fuck their not cro from my own personal vibes …no interest in those other kurac sobs..slovenians..ok..
Ante kvartuc is less croatian than pulisic
Just saying our language is similar for a reason to our ancestors of the east namely ukraine which is actually an older country than mother russia..don’t shoot the messenger.Nothings gay just speak your mind..fuck ..who cares.. doesn’t mean we’re racist because we speak the truth.
^
Idiot
Pretty sure that whole Iranian theory was only based on one inscription on a rock somewhere where a word remotely resembled something like horvat, but the whole thing was disproved. Modern DNA testing shows Europeans likely came through that area like 100,000 years ago (or something like that) on their slow migration to Europe. Modern croatians show zero DNA link to the area of today’s Iran. Most croatian DNA dates to the local area going back to the last ice age, something like 10,000 to 20,000 years ago, then mixed in slav and other blood over the last couple thousand years.
Pulisic is less croatian than toljan.
Heritage
Blood
Language
Living
Culture
IDENTIFICATION
I really don’t understand how pulusic is Croatian, heritage alone does not making u something
Name Sarah Johnson oh I’m 25 percent Italian 13.7 percent Native American 33 percent Bulgarian……no it DONT work like that
We gotta deal with the hand we dealt with. We still very good.
“Well Toljan is a Croatian and African American born in Germany, so he has 3 choices”
NO! He has two choices.
It’s funny how everybody in the media pretends the “Greek Freak” is Greek when blacks have absolutely nothing to do with the Greek nationality. If I were Greek, I’d find that nickname deeply offensive.
@canuckcro, a tan skinned white human with black hair and brown eyes is something completely different from a mulatto: which a person who’s half one race and half another.
And I don’t know about “cro slavs shine in the world” – that’s sounds pretty gay to me to be honest.
White people generally do look more different to each other than people of any non-white race look different to each other; in other words blacks look more alike to other blacks than whites do to other whites for obvious reasons. Plus there’s different white races within the greater white race and croatians are mix of different white races.
@Iggy, you’re a complete fucking moron. You’re reply fits to a tee the dickhead anti-white I described in my comment: you’re saying you look like a modern day Iranian so that means to you Croatians are from there even though Croatians migrated from there over 2,500 years ago when people from there looked totally different from what they look like today.
I know I’m talking to fucking brainless dickhead so it’s pointless trying to explain it to you.
I have to be honest, if I ever run into you in person, I don’t think I’ll be able to restrain myself from literally knocking the living shit out of your ass. You’re a CANCER.
Toljan is 100% gypsy and has nothing to do with Croatia
Just saying there are mulatto skin croatians out there..black hair ..beautiful..you can see cros ancestry is of a mixed bag and not just from car path Ian mountain area of ukraine..god bless all of our differences which make us cro slavs shine in the world.
Proto-Indo-Iranias were the progenitors of European languages
. Proto-Indo-Iranian didn’t look like modern Persians
Well Toljan is a Croatian and African American born in Germany, so he has 3 choices for who he wants to play for, whatever choice he makes is the right one for him, he is still a Croat though and I for one wish him all the best, same goes for Pulisic. Good luck to ’em.
Agreed crnkovic.
anyway. when it comes to toljan, like pulisic if he doesnt feel overwhelming pride at the chance to represent us then fuck him
Ya crnkovic toljan is pretty good. He would certainly help us.
Idk i’d say i look pretty Iranian, heh
my dad always told me growing up that we did indeed originate from Iran
Some anti-white traitor dickhead on this site once responded to me being against the genocide of my own race by saying that “Croatians are descended from Iran” – to him that means “Croatians aren’t White” -LOL! This used to be a common justification for White genocide: saying that this and that group “aren’t White” while also saying “the White race doesn’t exist” AND “Whites deserve it”.
The stupidity and two faced faggotry of anti-whites to me is astounding – I honestly see them as just a step away from getting their collective heads bashed in with nobody willing to reprisal.
So let’s examine the ignorance of this two faced anti-white faggot who obviously hasn’t outgrown his mommy professor education from the Political Correctness seminary he got it from:
Since he stated that Croatians migrated from Iran he MUST realize that the place we call Croatia today has not been inhabited by Croatians since the beginning of time. Yet it never crossed his tiny brain that perhaps modern day Iranians are not the same people who inhabited that land back in the time when the original Croats migrated from there?? Might it be that the people who lived there over 2,500 years ago were White?
It never never ceases to amaze me how people fail to use their fucking EYES! Do we look like more like Iranians or Slovakians? And don’t give me a few exceptions either way that prove the rule. Of course there are still Aryans in Iran, the damn country is named after them/us. And of course there’s going to be some dark Croats considering we moved there shortly after the Roman Empire fell and we bordered the Turk Empire for centuries.
But anti-whites are “educated” you see, they got their precious diplomas and titles from other anti-whites so we should be really scared of these fucking morons!
Vlasic won’t play much now that Koeman is gone. Classic case. Kid has lots of potential but he won’t unleash it now that the manager circumstances are different at Everton.
Playing in Russia is a bonus for us as well…we got them into euro in 08…when we knocked out England…i would love to play the Serbs…as of late our boys have stepped up when needed!
Yea. His mom’s Croatian and his dad is Afro-American.
The kid speaks Croatian and goes there in the summers too (which makes him more Croatian than most of us on this site).
I don’t watch him play, but he does start for Dortmund and he recently was a Spurs target. He doesn’t have too high of a transfer value, and according to some Croatian Sports papers, he’s more of a hard worker than a natural talent.
He’s had a poor start to the season with Dortmund though. Some negative news articles came up when I googled him recently. But still, I’m sure he’s better than Strinić and Pivarić… although I don’t think anyone in Cro football is losing any sleep over missing out on him.
nice soul champ. some positivity there.
@maminjo, yeah i thought about toljan but didnt want to bring it up. he has a croatian mother right? speaks croatian. he should play for us. not that i’ve seen him play is he actually very good?
Strinic is playing great and looked smooth yesterday.
He is in his prime and seems situated nicely and Sampdoria.
Maybe on of those stud young LB’s can be his under study for Russia.
He so much better than Pivaric and right footed Vrsaljko as LB that we shouldn’t even waste our time on it.
Like to see one of these young potential Robert Jarni types come to manifest.
Man we have a World Class LB to compliment our pipeline of midfielders then we will be in business.
But for now I am at peace with Strinic. I hope he plays lights out in 2018 and enjoys World Cup, because what happened to him was BS of the highest order.
Yes, i want Aussies, Serbs are definitely hardest pot 4 team
@ EVERYONE
Whoever is looking forward for Serbia being in our group or possibly playing them in the knockout round. Playing Serbia scares me more than Germany, Argentina or any other top 5 teams. My heart is filled with so much love for Croatia most importantly and also for this national team cause I’m Croatian. But we tend to become mental midgets in crucial games. Turkey in 2008. That 120 seconds haunts me and Semturk gives me nightmares to this day. Iceland scoring against us late in qualifiers. Also Finland scoring a late goal to tie in Qualifiers. Oh yea we can’t forget the most boring game played in the euros when we lost to Portugal. We were playing for penalties in extra time which fucked us up. But I want to ignore Serbia in the World Cup and let them lose and get knocked out to whoever they are grouped with.
…how did Kalinic do yesterday?
Strinic has been up and down but in my opinion, he’s the best we have. We can keep dreaming about someone else but the reality is, if someone better was available we’d alre know.
We can’t get crazy and start setting lineups today for a tournament that’s in June. A lot will change between now and then so let’s hope our guys are healthy and in form when the tournament starts!
^
Because they play Barca in champions league on Wednesday, just a wild guess tho
Why the hell were Panic, Dybala, Sandro and Buffon on the bench today? Too many coaches thinking they are so fucking clever. Zero points!
Yes playing the Serbs would concern me too cos it’s in Russia, which is like a home game for them.
Now, if you guys watcehd the 2013 game vs them in Belgrade you’ll remember how they utterly dominated us. We had like, one chance and Mandzu scored it, it was very clinical but even people on this site said it was a hard game to watch cos we were just being strangled. So i guess it would be hard to play them in what in effect is an away game?
BTW, when is Tin Jedvaj back from injury?
He’s probably the only person that I would experiment at LB at this point. Vida is too valuable at CB. Nobody else really plays the LB position outside of Strinic, Leovac, Pivaric…and they’re all mediocre (with Strinic being the best of the worst).
Haven’t watched Leovac lately. Nor have I seen Barisic in action either.
Unless we go with a wild experiment (which is unlikely) our LB options are going to Strinic and probably Vrsaljko if by chance Strinic is injured, carded, or just plain sucking.
I don’t think Dalic cares much for Pivaric (good call). Hopefully he figures something out.
It’s a shame that we have all this firepower and have such a big Achilles Heel with our LB position.
Too bad Jeremy Toljan can’t be talked into joining our National Team and filling that vacant LB spot.
Apparently, the HNS tried reaching out to him, but he didn’t even want to meet for coffee. It’s likely that he will probably get a Germany callup in the near future.
Crnkovic, you’re part crnac like Toljan. Why don’t you talk to him?
Give him the brotha ‘nod’. He’ll listen to you.
🙂
i know you not talking to me
Idemo je Balija.
Hrvati su budale
That last “Idemo” is not me
Strinic gave up a penalty today in his teams big win vs Juve
the greeks targeted strinic in the first leg. everytime he got the ball at the back they closed him down quickly and he panicked a couple of times. maybe he just needs some confidence. i dont know. i wish i had the answer. i really hope dalic makes the best decision whatever that is
its a tough one. he set up kalinics goal against greece but he just looks so shaky all the time, so weak. i’d maybe put vida there, but then vida is our best CB. i would give jedvaj a go there. i think he is a really good player. just play him there in a friendly maybe and say kid if you play really good you keep your spot. sosa is talented but nowhere near ready. leovac i havent seen enough of. tudor has played there quite a lot for hajduk in the past and is good strong young player. there is that guy who plays in belgium i forget his name, he seems fairly highly rated. pivaric is like strinic, dodgy but at least he has some balls though less talented. its a tough one. the other option is change to a back 3 with perisic on the left of midfield as many here, especially laknat has said many times. i think thats too much fucking around. we need perisic attacking the opposition. the only other thing i can think of is play someone who is completely out of position there, a versatile player who though not normally a left back is clever and will add quality to the defence. the only player we have capable of doing that and who doesnt have a spot in midfield nailed down would be brozovic. i think he could do it. he also has a good understanding with perisic they could combine very well down the left. so basically i’d talk to brozovic if he started sulking i’d say fine, sit on the bench, tin jedvaj my boy go remind us of paulo maldini. there you have it. brozovic or jedvaj or leovac experiment. if not then just beat the shit out of strinic until he carries the look of a man with nothing to lose. he’d be a top left back if he could toughen up. but serioisly i’d like to see jedvaj there
@Crnkovic
If you don’t like Strinic what would you do with the LB position for the NT?
cant wait to see pjaca back in the jersey. he is one of the guys that brings it big. as for strinic. wow. how is the guy even a professional footballer i dont know
ok no problem. one love
@Crnkovic
You’re a Muslim, you find peace in your religion even if you don’t have it in this world. Just like I do in mine.
Let’s listen to Idemo and keep it to sport.
Crnkovic you and Stipe started this shit it is a sport site talk sport you fool!!!!!!
i talk football a lot @anonymous. i also try to promote peace in every walk of life. i think peace is important, i dont like to see the kids dying. i hope you understand
why do you think that?
@Crnkovic
Yes I do. You’d leave him with the poor Muslim.
@Crnkovic
Look what you talk about on Sports site.
@traditionalcroat, i believe if you think about it you’ll realise what my answer to your question would be. God or Bog or Allah or Tukanshila, these are names given by different sets of people with different languages to the entity responsible for the creation of the universe and its laws. time and space. religion is religion, nationality is nationality, love is love, god is god, football is football. just remember god knows everything. think about that for a minute
hahaha. you people have got me lmao. omg you’re giving me joke. hahaha
My Christmas wishlist.
-Simic becomes HNS president
-Easy WC group
-Tough friendly opponents
-Strinic finds undetectable doping drugs
Yugosports.com nation.
its so fun to troll people on here
Look at the shit you talk about on a sports site…….
Filip Krovinović is fast becoming my new favourite player. He just makes every touch, every turn and every pass look stylish.
Idiot
^
Because of the comment I just wrote to Crnkovic? Answer that if you got the balls, you pussy!
What’s your real username pussy?
@Traditional Pussy
B/c you’re an idiot
@Idemo
Why do you say we’re crazy?
Crnkovic is Yugoslavian he told me
U ppl is crazy
@Crnkovic
Your Muslim friends didn’t answer your stupid question because you’re coming up with an extreme scenario where they have to choose their child to be bought up by a Hindu, which is something they wouldn’t even like to think about.
Let me ask you a question, if you were to die would you rather let your son be raised by a good Catholic man, who is wealthy and would give your son all the good things this world has to offer and also convert him to the Catholic faith. Or, would you rather him raised by a poor Muslim, where your son wouldn’t have a lot of food, wouldn’t have the best clothes, no TV, no luxuries at all, but the Muslim made sure that your son died a Muslim? Which one would you rather?
@Iggy
Your video is shit, don’t listen to Crnkovic, even if he thought it was shit he would tell ya it was good.
@stipe, no we would win for sure trust me
@mr black, caleta-car is good i like him, dont know the other kid
@idemo, gonna see if there is any footage of krovinovic…
For the future.
RB Salzburg won 5-0 today and are the leaders in Austria.
Croatian prospects Pongracic (20) and Caleta-Car (21) are both in the starting eleven as the 2 central defenders.
Okay, the Austrian league is not the German league but still, it means something.
Time to start watching krovinovic…..benfica twitter raving about the kid had a MOTM
THIS QUESTION IS FOR ANYONE
IF WE WERE TO PLAY THE SERBS IN THE GROUP STAGE OR THE KNOCKOUT ROUND. HOW WILL IT WORK CONSIDERING THE FANS??? HONESTLY, HOW WOULD THAT WORK. THE LAST THING FIFA WOULD WANT IS TO SEE CROATIANS AND SERBIANS BEATING THE SHIT OUT OF EACH OTHER ON ESPN OR FOX SPORTS IN FRONT OF THE WHOLE WORLD. SO HOW WOULD THEY SEPRATE THE FANS? YOU CANT SPERATE ALL OF THEM. AND OF THERE WAS A FIGHT. ITLL BE BRUTAL TO POINT THAT PUNISHMENT FOR BOTH TEAMS WOULD BE SEVERE. LIKE NOT LETTING EITHER TEAM QUALIFY FOR EURO 2020.

I really wouldn’t mind playing Serbia in the group stage. Because chances are it will be a 0-0 because all the hype leading into the match. Even if we played Serbia last in the group and let’s Say it was a must win for Serbia and Croatia to advanse into the round of 16 it will still be a 0–0 match. But if we were to play them in the knockout rounds, that would really scare the crap out of me. Because a lot of those Serbian players remember that we knocked them out World Cup qualifications with that 1-1 game at Marakana in Belgrade. Serbia needed to win that game just to stay alive and have hope to get to the World Cup. And I remember the first half of the game in Serbia, the Serbians held possession in the first half. It was like they were playing as if they were Spain. So therefore, if we were to play them in the knockout round I would be extremely scared. Serbia has a lot of the talent. They might not have the players that we have that play for a lot of major big clubs. But they do you have a lot of talent. And that’s just a fact. So I would like to avoid them In the knockout round
oh yeah. i forgot to say i hope we play the Serbs at the world cup. that game would be absolutely epic. and of course, we would win ..
no comment. happy days. i think i’d like us to get argentina, tunisia, australia. tunisia are the weakest of the african sides but still very hard to beat. australia needs revenge, argentina i just feel would be a good game with good chance for us to win. but whoever we get i think we can and should progress to the next round and beyond. i really dont see any team as superior to us. only brazil and france are definately ahead of us. spain we do well against, germany the same. england we should beat but the players have to believe they are better team. not start acting like a bunch of small town eastern europeans oh i want to get visa for come to live in the west and drive bmw so i let you win in the end. no no. we have to win
@crnkovic
Serb or Croat is fine, so long as it’s not a black guy.
Amiright?
😉
@Stipe
If we AVOID drawing Argentina or Brazil, then we will end up with a European team as our Pot A team, and we won’t be able to draw a European team as our Pot C and Pot D teams.
We would have a very good shot at topping our group and get ourselves a favorable Round of 16 opponent too.
@iggy
Your so ignorant. Did you fight in the war ? And I don’t want to hear about your family members who fought in the war. Because we all have some family members that fought in the war. If you are a good person you are a good person. I have friends that are have Serbian and have Croatian I have friends who’s mother is Croatian and father is Serbian so they were raised orthodox. They are more towards being Serbian but they do not denounce their Croatian side. And then my other friends who’s mom is Serbian and dad is Croatian so they are raised Catholic. Also they do not ignore their Serbian side because they shouldn’t.
@crnkovic
I’m with you on your point. What u said is on point
I just don’t want the big boys cause of Reffing but would like a shot at one of the big boys
There are still euro teams in pot 3/4 we can get tho stipe
Someone said the max can be two euro teams in one group tho
Looking at the pots for the World Cup on FIFA’s website. It’ll be nice to draw an Argentina or a Brazil from pot 1. Just so we don’t have to worry about drawing another European country. Anyone else agree??
@ pog
They were up 20 and the gsw decided to win lol it was bad
nice video iggy. put a smile on my face. listen iggy, what if the guy has a serbian mother and croatian father? what if he is proud of his family on both sides? what if both sides of his family are great people who spent their lives in the service of others and god? seriously its not that hard to imagine. i know 4 or 5 serbs all of them are VERY good people. we should all know by now that most of the trouble jn this world comes from the greed of the assholes in every country and does not belong to any race or people. i ask my muslim friends this question if they start talking shit: if you died, would you rather your son be brought up by a kind, learned and principled hindu, or a paedophile hypocrite calling themself a muslim? that usually shuts them up. so i ask everyone here on croatiansports the same question. good serb, bad croat. who do you leave your son in the hands of?
gonna try your video iggy. you make it yourself?
^ ^
I only really watched the 3rd qtr when they were getting dominated so the whole team were on the ropes. “Looking like shit” is a bit harsh. I hope he continues to develop. That team can be great.
@pog
13 and 10 with a onfire Covington and embiid, I’ll take it . Offensively his points are gimmes but if he’s being the workhorse on the boards it’s good
Few offensive rebounds were impressive
@iggy, it’s cuz your number 1
If you search YouTube for “Croatia road to russia”, obv my video is the top result as you’d expect cos it’s tops but, the only other HRV one up is done by some boris kovacevic fellow, and his only other video is a serb tribute? what the lol? some jugo i guess? how could anyone like serbia AND croatia? fucking deranged
I pray to God that kid can do anything like in that video if/when he’s fully in the men’s NT.
@Truth – Why do spell the players names like that?
That wasn’t a hattrick, they were all from different games but the goals are good for sure so let’s hope he pans out, obv we can use ppl who can score from range like that, he looks great
Saric looking like shit to me. Looks absolutely lost around the rim offensively and he had an air ball from about 12 feet. He’s athletic but mental he constantly looks a step behind.
SARIC KILLIN THE BOARDS
Really excited about Brekalo check out this hattrick he scored https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X-B41-i1n9M
Truth Troll at it again with his 4th grader deragotory name calling.
Beat it troll.
I will credit josip bustalo for hitting that shot with his left foot. I don’t think haliloshit has ever touched the ball with his right foot
That being said, it wasn’t a great shot. Right at the goalie. The goal was really the fault of terrible goal tending .
A lot it has to do with Hajduk trying to get any money from any sale as soon as possible.
They sell all their youth the INSTANT anyone shows any interest in them. Balić should not have been sold so quickly and cheaply. They should do what Dinamo does, by developing them further then selling them for top dollar. The only players Dinamo sells for cheap are the ones that they know suck (Pivarić, Šimunović) and even these sales are more than the highest that Hajduk has ever sold.
The only good sale Hajduk ever made was 10 million for Vlašić… But that’s only because of Vlašić’s father blocking them from selling him when they wanted to (a couple years ago, for a measly 2.5 million).
If it wasn’t for Vlašić’s father, our boy Vlašić would have been sold for peanuts, ob some mediocre club, with no dedicated plans to develop them (like Andrija Balić and Ante Vukusic).
i like lovro majer a lot, and ivanusec…wicked players. class and flair and confidence in abundance.
balic is a funny one. like a lot of our players it isnt clear what his best position is. he struggles with the athletic element of the game at times and isnt really a dribbler, he has a great shot and great vision but his passing is not consistent enough and he can get lost during the game because he seems to switch off when he isnt at the centre of things. in balic case i’d recommend a loan move but its so hard to tell when these guys are so young and away from home. who knows where the problem is psychologically. another of this legion of talented youngsters we have coming through. moro has suddenly leap ahead of him in his development and could be the next to breakthrough into the NT. like Rog, everyone was talking about coric, but Rog just got on with his game and worked hard, now he is getting minutes for the serie A leaders and the NT. there are phases these guys have to go through at their own pace, there is no telling if and when any of these players will become the finished article. personally i believe in all of them. but maybe i’m biased
What’s the story with Balic?? Is he even on the bench
I know they are learning a lot from these clubs but would love to see some of these go places they will play
So u guys think pjaca gets nuff meaningful playing time rest of the year?? Obviously he can be a great depth or even starter
Remember when our biggest problem besides LB was wings
Shit guys we were trying to get sertic to play for us
By comparison to the past 8 years we are stacked
Hoping some of these kids pan out
I think Vlasic will be above average player. He looks like he has the mentality of course his athleticism ain’t too shabby
Very nice goal by brekalo
Remember when all we could hope for was an olic tap in or mandzukic header Not that I wasn’t greatful for those but our boys are scoring more and more goals that are made from their own efforts then crosses that are just put in
I love it. Haters gonna hate and we haven’t had a bet offer from anyone on if a cro gonna score outside the box in many moons now
Black uniform all the way But would be cool black with white and red checkers somehow
I remember a long long time ago now some Dutch team I believe had a great jersey that would have worked for us
Maybe someone will know
That Pjaca goal in some premium 4K HD
Okies, glad to hear it and thanks for the replies, all : )
iggy, its not to do with the one goal he has scored. i’ve been singing his praises for two years now. his big move was overdue i believe he is ready to be a big player. he has the right mentality and the right athleticism to succeed in england he is the kind of guy you cant keep down. vlasic will do well. i tell you something for nothing he’ll have a better career at everton than unsworth will.
^ yap
This is the same thing as when Kramaric went to Leicester City.
Kramaric was definitely good enough to play (and the fans loved him when he did play), but Vardy suddenly got hot and the veterans on that team started to play well and got themselves out of relegation.
It’s not the exact same situation with Vlasic at Everton, but there is a bit of fear for their season (as proven by firing their coach) and the new guy (Unsworth) has come in to right this ship (and probably thinks this is the right approach).
We they’ve lost three, won one, and now drawn one in all competitions since he’s taken over (and that win was thanks to an injury time penalty against Watford). Hopefully Everton keeps losing and they’re forced to change something. The fans really seemed to like him.
Horvat – Brekalo has become a great passer also, as one usually does playing for Div 1 Bundesliga team at 19 {if he didn’t pass it the veterans would chew his azz out}
Can’t beat everyone off the dribble like the u-17 days at this level.
No Vlasic is in a terrible situation now
Vlasic is a koemann buy
The new manger/care taker comes in to make sure the team does not get relegated
Playing youth Vlasic is a risk but one that can pay off, new manager will use older expierence players to try to save them from the drop
Koemann was playing Vlasic because he needed to try something different new manager coming in will not take risk
I have only seen Brekalo playing for our youth team but i do remember being impressed by him
Do you guys think we got a bit too high on Vlasic? I mean, he scored ONE goal for Everton and we were kinda a bit too optimistic perhaps from that flash in the pan?
Igor Štimac is a very nice guy. He’s just a bit of a criminal, that’s all.
So today I was on a domestic flight in Croatia before flying back to London, guess who sat right next to me on the domestic flight? Igor Stimac.
Was very easy going, happy to talk football and carried the conversation too.
BOG i HRVATI ZAPAMTITE VUKOVAR ROB NIKAD
Brekalo is a lot better than Perisic or Pjaca were at his age. He’s very fast. He is an amazing dribbler and has a fierce right foot. The goal he scored yesterday was from his left foot.
Pjaca played with the youth team and scored a nice free kick too. I think that’s 3 goals in his first two “games” back. Hopefully, he can challenge for a wing position this summer with the repka.

Brekalo and Halilovic still have a lot to learn, but they have huge potential!
Vlasic can’t even make the Everton bench.
go on brekalo. show them all. great talent, determined kid
jesus that commentator can really hold his breath lmao
