I don't see how Serbia is more balanced than Croatia. We have pretty much a complete team. The quality up front is questionable, but Mandzukic, Kramaric, and Rebic might develop and peak in time.
Also, from watching both teams, I believe we move the ball much better, especially offensively, than Serbia. Both teams are gritty when need be. But I thing we have 1 more level of class.
Of course, I'm Croatian and have a bias. But I like to think I keep it as objective as possible.
I fantasize sometimes what if the old Yugoslav republics had a united team. I think it would easily challenge Brazil and Germany.

My hope is now with Brazil to stop UEFA.
Winners do it the right way.

They were also forcing the ball to the left where there were more defenders, but still failed to swing it quickly to the right where they had more forwards. At least they were better than Naija in having more forwards on the other side.wale1974 wrote:Same crap we did yesterdayOguleftie wrote:Bad concept.
Costa Rica playing to the strength of Serbia; high balls into the Serbia backline.

Costa rica played better than we did yesterday. Bear in mind that their players are playing in even worse leagues than ours.

Going by how things are panning up maybe the should even have more. God knows I'd prefer to see Italy and Holland to Saudi Arabia.Kabalega wrote:You guys should realize that UEFA have the numbers.marutimon wrote:UEFA is having quite the cup.
