Said Husejinović back on track?

By: Harun | November 6th, 2009 | No Comments »

HusejinovicWhen Said Husejinović first emerged in the Bosnian premijer liga for FK Sloboda Tuzla, he was touted by some as the best homegrown Bosnian prospect since the end of the war. The talented Zvorničanin had plenty of pace, great technique and a good shot from long-range. In terms of physical predisposition and natural talent, he was far more hyped as a 19-year-old playing in the Bosnian domestic league than Edin Džeko or just about anyone else in recent memory. When Werder Bremen came calling, many were optimistic that he would be the first premijer liga talent to make it in a direct transfer to a big club.

Pulling Rabbits Out of Hats

By: Harun | November 3rd, 2009 | No Comments »

ErminzecIn the build-up to our showdown against Portugal, most of the international attention on Bosnia’s roster is focused on the usual suspects: Džeko, Misimović, Pjanić and Ibišević (and roughly in that order too). But for me the most interesting players are two new additions to the roster, who have thus far been ... [read]


Awaiting the play-off draw: Bosnia vs. Portugal

By: Harun | October 19th, 2009 | 11 Comments »

With only a few hours leading up to the draw, conventional wisdom goes something like this: everyone in their right mind would hope to draw Greece, seeing as, although they’re by no means a bad team, they’re undoubtedly the worst of the four. As prospective opponents, the remaining three rank from bad ... [read]


One Down, One to Go

Well, we did what we had to yesterday in Yerevan and came away with the expected 0-2 victory. Ćiro claims we went in with too much respect towards the opponent, Senijad Ibričić says that we didn’t have enough. One way or the other, the performance left something to be desired, in large ... [read]


Armenia and other musings

By: Harun | September 3rd, 2009 | 2 Comments »

Well, after many months of waiting, the time has finally come. Tomorrow morning Džeko, Spahić and company will fly out to Yerevan for Saturday’s World Cup Qualifier against Armenia. Although we’re heavy favorites, the player seem very focused and determined not to foil this historic opportunity. Of course, while the Armenians are ... [read]


Ćiro reveals call-ups for qualifiers

By: Harun | August 22nd, 2009 | No Comments »

Who the @#$% was Mirnel Sadović? Ćiro seems not to have known either; he allegedly screamed “who sent you to me?!” at a pre-friendly training session. No matter. With or without Mr. Sadović, Bosnia embarrassed itself against Iran, conceding three goals in the final fifteen minutes or so of the match. Not ... [read]


Who the @#$% is Mirnel Sadović?

By: Harun | August 9th, 2009 | 1 Comment »

Time for another post in the build up to the August 12th friendly against Iran. This time I’ll discuss a new (and rather questionable) call-up to the squad, the latest developments in the Begović saga, our players performances in Europe and some more issues surrounding the game itself. More below the fold.

Asmir Begović prefers empty stadiums

By: Harun | July 13th, 2009 | 7 Comments »

It seemed appropriate enough to start posting again with this tidbit of news, both because I’ve just gotten back to Bosnia and because it’s elicited quite a response from the Bosnian fan-base. In short, after many months of cat-and-mouse in which he gushed about wanting to play for Bosnia and telling Oslobođenje ... [read]

As most domestic competitions in Europe wind to a close, it’s a good time to look at the impression that our players have made and what we can expect from the summer transfer window. As if the picture didn’t give you enough of a clue, I’ll definitely give my thoughts on the ... [read]
