Sušić Picks Squad for Qatar Friendly
Safet Sušić revealed his call-ups today for the upcoming August 10th friendly with Qatar. It’s a conservative squad, virtually identical to the one called up against Sweden and Germany. The only real decision of note involves Džemal Berberović and Semir Štilić. Berberović announced yesterday that he was retiring from international football, but Sušić went ahead and included him in the squad anyway. Then, presumably after talking with Berberović, Sušić ultimately dropped him in favor of Štilić. More below the fold.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic Must Look Like He Needs a Hug
If we were to list the most huggable players in world football, I doubt Zlatan Ibrahimovic would figure highly. The big talented Swede seems much more aloof than he approachable.
