Slišković v. Blažević, pt. 1

Well, you can’t complain that the world of Bosnian football is boring. The latest media firestorm erupted over some choice comments made by our former manager Blaž “Baka” Slišković about current boss Miroslav “Ćiro” Blažević. The media bickering has since then escalated to include veteran striker Marko Topić and Slišković’s predecessor Drago “Mišo” Smajlović. Allegations include gambling, alcoholism, selling away EURO 2008 qualifiers and throwing cleats at the coaching staff.

News round-up 4

A lot has happened since our second victory in the series against Belgium, so I thought the time was right for a brief news roundup. The four things I want to loosely cover are: 1.) The game itself, 2.) our subsequent (and drastic) move up the FIFA rankings, 3.) the storm of ... [read]
Match preview: Bosnia-Herzegovina v. Belgium
With all the joy over our victory on Friday, it’s easy to forget that the re-match against Belgium is barely 24 hours away.

The Bosnian tank brings down Genk

Where to begin? I don’t think there’s a single Bosnian fan left unsatisfied after yesterday’s rout of Belgium. We rolled through the Benelux like a German army, mercilessly pummeling Stijn Stijnen’s goal in a sublime 13-minute stretch during the second half. In the process, we catapulted ourselves to the 2nd spot in ... [read]
Apologies for the pause
Hi everyone. As you’ll notice, I haven’t written in over two weeks now. There are several reasons for this, but quitting the blog certainly isn’t one of them; I like writing about the Bosnian national team, and I’m pleasantly surprised that I’ve gotten several comments in the time I’ve been away (granted, one of them just recommended penis pills, but ...

Katastrofa: Ibišević injured
This is a post I really hoped I wouldn’t have to write. If you’re reading this blog, you probably already know the gist of it: Vedad Ibišević, our star striker and Bundesliga scoring leader, tore his ACL during a training match against HSV. The general consensus seems to be that he’ll be ... [read]

News round-up 2
- Said Husejinović has announced that he will no longer play for the national team as long as Miroslav “Ćiro” Blažević is manager.

Džeko to Milan?
In some of the more appetizing transfer speculation in recent months, AC Milan is said to be interested in Wolfsburg’s Edin Džeko. Take it all with a grain of salt, but a lot of information has come out over this recently and I wouldn’t be surprised if a deal was eventually reached.
