England 3 Croatia 1

[Super Croat]

Not the result we were looking for but I thought Croatia did play some nice soccer at times. We had a lot of good scoring chances and I feel Dado Prso and Tomislav Maric would have done better in front of goal. Ivica Olic played very well though he should have been able to score at least one of his chances. Our usually solid defense looked bad on the Owen goal, Lampards was class, but we need to tighten up for up-coming qualifiers.

It was an entertaining game and I'm not taking to much from the final result but I thought we could've done better.

I see some positives from this game;

We showed we we could break through and create many scoring chances.

We can move the ball around nicley and keep a fair bit of possesion.

Downside,

We still have trouble scoring goals on easy chances.

Our top players are not fit.

Friendlies don't mean much, most of the time potential tactical changes are just being tried out by coaches.

Your U21's on the other hand were quite impressive, beating the english crop on their soil. I heard the English are complaining about the Kranjcar-Pennant incident, according to them young Niko made some racial comments, has he commented on this?

Well I know our U21 team beat England 3-0.


Didn't read much on it yet.

wow, haven't been here for ages.

This is how Kranjcar responded.

- Nema šanse, nikad ne bih igrace rasisticki vrijeđao. Uostalom, znam premalo engleskih psovki da bih uopce mogao tako vrijeđati. Moj dijapazon engleskih vulgarnosti sužen je na svakodnevni govor, ha ha - cak se malo i našalio Niko, otkrivši kako su na travnjaku razgovarali engleski nogometaši.
- To još nisam cuo. Kako su se oni međusobno vrijeđali i psovali, kao najveci naprijatelji.


Drulo, Wales made a complaint to UEFA aswell for racism by Serb fans etc etc.. What is happening with that?


As for the senior game, we will be better in the qualifiers and once our important players return.

[Drulic]

Wouldn't be strange for the British to put in a lie for their own good.

Anyway is Kranjcar being saved for the U21's for the qualifications or doesn't Baric want use him yet?


Yeah D11 the Welsh put in a complaint, both at our U21's and the seniors racial sounds were made by a small fraction of the crowd. In the U21 match it was totally uncalled for as we were dominating them the entire match. With the seniors it were the 'grobari' who started with the provocations, they all love Taribo West, even gave him a new name, 'Taribovic' :D and yet do things like this, this is one of the reasons they're not taken seriously by most fangroups in Serbia.

Still I agree with Piksi, the Welsh should have first contacted us instead of running to UEFA like little b!tches who're just scared their first spot is almost history. Their fans BTW sang USA, USA and Kosovo, not very 'nice' either, but are we complaining..

[dinamovac11]

pahahaha...Taribovic.http://www.handykult.de/plaudersmilies.de/laugh.gif As for the grobari...when a fan group has a full on brawl amongst themseleves like they did not long ago then there is something wrong.. Do the delije still boycott NT games? I know whoever wants to go can go but I mean do they attend organised.

Baric thinks that Kranjcar is not ready for the full NT even though I think that soon he will be in there.

As for the complaints I think it is silly and petty. Maybe someone should translate to them what goes on during some Goodyear League matches before they make another complaint.http://www.handykult.de/plaudersmilies.de/laugh.gif Interesting that Pennant only remembered that he was racially insulted after Wales made their complaint which was 2 days after the Under 21 game. Ma, gluposti..

Fulham complained about Hajduk fans last year aswell and in the end UEFA said that there was nothing to complain about. When they came to Zagreb the fans booed the white players and cheered the black ones.http://www.handykult.de/plaudersmilies.de/laugh.gif

True, the ongoing fight between the agenti and tuzni front aren't helping them either. During the last match against Newcastle one group sang a song, the other a completely different one, you can imagine how that sounded. :)

On the delije, no group will be attending NT matches for a long time as it seems, there's some talk about a return after the anthem and flag get changed but others oppose the thought of being side by side with the black and white clan. I personally am with those who say we return after the changes take place.

I agree on the complaints and as we're both already unpopular within the UEFA, even more after the fights in Switzerland nations/clubs will be looking to capitalize on that, sad but what can we do.

Reactions like those in ZG last year are all that's left to spike them. :)
