Bosnia
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. 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 not being called up and receiving playing time.

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.

Vedad Ibišević and the golden shoe: how far can he go?
It might sound like the name of some twisted fairy tale, but we’re almost halfway through the season and it’s pretty clear that Vedad Ibišević’s success is not a fluke. Yes, he plays for a team that’s just looking to score one more than its opponent, and no, he hasn’t dribbled past ... [read]

Squad overview: Backs
No – I’m not dead. Unfortunately, college exams really cut into the time I have to work on this blog. My schedule is looking a little better now, so here’s the second (of… four?) squad overview post. This time I’ll summarize the situation in Bosnia’s back line, which is by far the weakest part of the team. Our fortunes in ... [read]
Slovenia 3 – 4 Bosnia
Well, the game just finished: a well deserved victory for Bosnia in the middle of Slovenia. It just goes to show that, for all the problems surrounding us, we’re still a footballing country. Ibišević set the tone early, scoring in the 2nd minute, and then drew a penalty about 15 minutes later, which Misimović converted for 2:0. A lapse in ... [read]

Bosnian Football: a (not so) Brief History
I told myself I’d keep this short. I failed. Summarizing the early days was easy enough, but glossing over the details that I’ve lived through myself proved too difficult. This will probably be the longest post I’ll ever write, but I’ll try to make it up to you by linking to assorted Youtube goodies along the way. Sound good?
Origins:
Rather than ... [read]
