The Return Of The King

By: Mario | August 12th, 2009 | 11 Comments »

Though the title deserves an immediate explanation, I’ll start the post off by saying a few words about today’s encounter. Eduardo Is Back! And seeing I skipped writing down the list of players called up for this one, I might as well start there. Traditionally, our defense is the last place you’d think we’d have trouble calling up quality players, yet this time Bilic had a worry or two on his mind. Read the rest of this entry »

Belarus Closing In

By: Mario | July 25th, 2009 | 5 Comments »

Seeing that there’s a lack of bombastic news coming in from our camp, let’s see what news are worth a mention. Ivica Olic, who’s been quite excellent in Bayern’s pre-season efforts, has picked up a knock and we’ll be sidelined for at least a week, two at most. As reported, our Slavonian Speedster (don’t ask) landed awkwardly during a training ... [read]


What’s This Now?

By: Mario | July 23rd, 2009 | No Comments »

Wenger? What the heck? Just as we were told our man Eduardo is finally fit and is sure to be there for Belarus, Wenger spills the beans and says Dudu is sidelined again. And for two months at that!? To recapitulate, yesterday the man was alright and working hard to participate in his club’s and Croatia’s upcoming endeavours. And today, ... [read]


The Annoying Trumpets of Doom

By: Mario | June 29th, 2009 | 7 Comments »

While watching the Confederations Cup final last night and in the midst of all those trumpets (they are trumpets right?) tirelessly playing, a scary thought crossed my mind. What if we bottle it? What if we fail and instead of visiting South Africa come next summer, we end up watching the worlds most prestigious sporting event enjoying the cozy indifference ... [read]


Who’s On The Move?

By: Mario | June 21st, 2009 | 6 Comments »

It’s been a fairly rich month or so of transfer gossip and actual business getting done, so let’s make a brief summary of who’s going where and why. I mentioned earlier in this post that Pranjic is Munich bound and it’s only the medical exam routine that’s keeping him away from all that German beer bliss. But, it turns out ... [read]


Setback, Outbreak

By: Mario | June 11th, 2009 | 5 Comments »

Lock, Stock and Two Freaking Crossbars. That there’s a thin line between bliss and agony we were once again convinced on Saturday, when in the dying seconds of what was a fairly even contest we managed to hit woodwork twice. In. The. Same. Freaking. Spot. If only one of those made it into the back of the net, today we’d ... [read]


Match Preview: Ukraine

By: Mario | June 6th, 2009 | 5 Comments »

I’m a bit late, but let’s see what we can expect in this pretty much a crucial qualifier.
The stakes: Well it’s a situation rather untypical for us, as we have had much smoother rides in the last couple of qualifying cycles. Basically, anything shorter than victory puts us in real danger of missing out the runners up place behind ... [read]


Wanted

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

To clarify, Srna is a wanted man, while Pranjic was a wanted man. Makes no sense at all, I know. My failure to elaborate aside, what matters is that yesterday we got another man wearing the stripes of the most prestigious German club that is Bayern Munchen! (more…)

Eduardo Update

By: Mario | May 21st, 2009 | 5 Comments »

Yesterday afternoon a certain Niek van Dijk of Amsterdam performed a routine surgical procedure (oxymoron if you ask me) on our Eduardo, removing the leftover metal parts in his ankle. So besides the fact he’s now less Terminator, the removal of these parts is just a signal that Eduardo’s ankle is now as fully recovered and once he sits out ... [read]
