Slišković v. Blažević, pt. 1

By: Harun | April 19th, 2009 | No Comments »


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. You might want to brush up on your Bosnian football history, but I’ll try and summarize what’s going on either way.

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]

The Bosnian tank brings down Genk

By: Harun | March 29th, 2009 | 2 Comments »


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

By: Harun | January 30th, 2009 | 3 Comments »

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

By: Harun | January 15th, 2009 | 2 Comments »

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.

- Said Husejinović has announced that he will no longer play for the national team as long as Miroslav “Ćiro” Blažević is manager. This news has come out of nowhere, as I don’t think anyone had any idea that Husejinović was upset with the current situation. He claims, however, that he resents ... [read]

Džeko to Milan?

By: Harun | December 21st, 2008 | 1 Comment »

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.
