Croatia

High Five for a Fresh Start

By: Mario | November 15th, 2009 | No Comments »

Despite nicking a few decent results in recent times (a draw with Portugal comes to mind), football’s minnows Lichtenstein proved to be nothing more than than a shy sparring partner to a mixed lineup of “Vatreni” that Bilic had come out with. Croatia came up with a convincing 5:0 victory, putting one past the visiting goalie as early as in the first minute of the match. Coach Bilic introduced some new faces, notably (Mate) Bilic, Gabric and Bartulovic. Read the rest of this entry »

The Friendly Whine

By: Mario | October 31st, 2009 | 3 Comments »

Wow, waking up just to see all those journalists crying on how Bilic (or Markovic rather) picks his friendlies ain’t the best way to start the morning. But seriously though, the journalism in Croatia is rubbish. Like fast food. It’s all around, lacks the attention & nutrition of a real meal, and in the end will leave you plunging the ... [read]


Where Do We Go From Here?

By: Mario | October 16th, 2009 | 6 Comments »

It’s official. The day before yesterday we officially missed out on World Cup 2010, making it the first big (biggest might be more appropriate) stage absence in our short but memorable footballing résumé (not counting Euro 2000 here). And as questions of why and how start knocking on (allegedly) responsible doors, I’ve decided to focus on some things that might ... [read]


Qatar Signals Trouble

By: Mario | October 9th, 2009 | 17 Comments »

Well it couldn’t have gone more wrong last night, could it? Well actually it could, we could’ve lost the game, but I’m sure most of us would sign defeat rather then have another three players shot down with injuries. But before I get to that, let’s recap on what was happening on pitch at Kantrida last night.

The Calm Before The Storm

By: Mario | October 7th, 2009 | No Comments »

It’s quiet here in hotel Sheraton, too quiet even. Players lurking around greeting each other with almost sentimental smiles, casually mingling on about their October highlights, when a familiar voice steals their wavering attention. Bilic, revealed now as the face behind the voice, glances across the room before ushering the inviting words : “It’s time”. (more…)

From Belarus With Love

By: Mario | September 12th, 2009 | 3 Comments »

As some had predicted, the match played just few hours before our humiliation VS England proved to be the most important result of the evening. Despite losing out 5:1 Capello’s boys, we are still very much in the race for that runner’s up spot, which would see us live to fight another day for our South African visas. Luckily for ... [read]


London Calling, Part II

By: Mario | September 9th, 2009 | 6 Comments »

Ironically, though it’s labeled as a decider, the outcome of tonight’s match might end up not carrying much weight when things come to a close. Because even with a win tonight, we’d have to count on Ukraine dropping points to either Belarus tonight or England in one month’s time. And if on par with points before the very last fixture, ...

London Calling, Part I

By: Mario | September 7th, 2009 | 2 Comments »

Or W for Vendetta. As in Wednesday’s the time for revenge. In between these two highly unoriginal titles, I decided to go for the former. But anyway, before I start of rambling about the upcoming encounter, I’ll write a few lines about the match we literally had to survive on Saturday evening, the Belarus one. Now, most of you probably ... [read]


Bits & Pieces

By: Mario | September 5th, 2009 | 2 Comments »

Croats were never much of a conquering nation, establishing colonies and such, but we seem to be on a roll recently. This Monday, on the very last day of what’s been a busy transfer period, another Croat landed on the shores of North London, more specifically the old Tottenham harbor. (more…)

Bad News, Witch Hunt

By: Mario | August 30th, 2009 | 7 Comments »

As if the task ahead wasn’t difficult enough, yesterday at approximately 17.03 CET it got to a whole new level of difficulty. It was then that our own little wizard Luka Modric was carried off after having collided with one of England’s finest, Lee “The Destroyer” Boywer. (more…)
