Bosnia and Herzegovina - Road to EURO 2012

[Kapetan]

Here you can talk about our qualifying campaign.


We're set to play Mexico in February with record crowds expected.

Susic is going with our A team lineup it seems.

[Stanley]

why would there be a record crowd for that game?

[Kapetan]

why would there be a record crowd for that game?

The Bosnian diaspora always attends our friendly matches in record numbers, we have some of the best fans in the world really.

The game is being played in Atlanta against Mexico, and the seats are basically sold out since the Mexicans also come out in large numbers.

[Stanley]

ahh i didn't realise it was being played in America!

[Celticrugby]

ahh i didn't realise it was being played in America!

Mexico never plays in Mexico unless they HAVE to. :laugh

[Kapetan]

ahh i didn't realise it was being played in America!

Yes, its the first time Bosnia will play in the states. Should be a good game, the teams are evenly matched although I might give the edge to Mexico, just barely.

[Celticrugby]

It's essentially home field advantage for Mexico, if you beat them it'll be quite a scalp.

Assuming you both play first teams.

[Kapetan]

It's essentially home field advantage for Mexico, if you beat them it'll be quite a scalp.

Assuming you both play first teams.

There will be around 20,000 Bosnians at the game, pretty good number. We can beat them if we play well.

We recently played Slovakia and we did great, played them to perfection although the defense is still a sore spot for us.

[SILVI0]

The group at the moment is like this.....

Pos Team______________ Pl_ W_ D__ L_ GD Pts
1__ France____________ __4 _3 __0 _1 __5 _9
2__ Belarus___________ __4 _2 __2 _0 __3 _8

Yes, big game against Romania. They're our main competition along with France IMO.

[Celticrugby]

When I was making your nats thread (before my computer ****ed up and deleted it and now I have to redo it) I saw you drew with Albania.

They finally getting it together now? or did you guys just not do the business?

Ours is a sad story lol

We always seem to end with bad luck.. Last time around for South Africa, we hit the bar no less than 3 times against Portugal away in the playoff round..

We should have beaten Albania by the way we were playing but they equalized on a flukey set piece.

[Celticrugby]

When I was reading about the past World Cup a journalist, for the life of me I can't remember who, brought up a great point.

Traditional minnow teams are now getting to a point where they can be tough to beat if they follow a defensive system and put themselves in a place to kill the game. It doesn't surprise me that Albania could nick a draw against you guys (or any other team with solid talent for that matter).

There are now enough decent managers at these countries to get teams who don't have individual or "flair" talents, but can get them into a system to at least draw or not get embarrassed.

It's like watching the SPL, most teams don't play Celtic or Rangers, they have 10 men behind the ball and it's "Bring it on".

It's tough to break down a team that has very good discipline and the longer it goes without your team scoring the more confidence they get, the more your team's goes down.

Really fascinating, even if people think it makes for boring games.

I agree, Albania has been given somewhat of a team spirit and their cohesion lately has been impressive for such a small side. Belarus is another suck side. Its interesting to have teams like that, including our own, all in the same group.

Promises to be an interesting campaign.

[Kapetan]

Romania can't score goals right now. Looking over the results of all their games, in 2009 they only scored over 1 goal in only 2 games, a 3-1 win over Faroe Islands and a 2-3 loss against Serbia. Looking at 2010 (so far), they have had only one win, 3-0 against Honduras and the only other game where they scored over a goal was in 3-2 loss to Ukraine. I think we can label this game a "must win" and a five-man midfield should do it.

Belarus is beginning to get some talent too, mainly Hleb, but they could be a team that moves forward in the next 10 or so years I think.

I agree though, its an interesting group. Hopefully I'll be able to catch some of the games.

[KulinBan]

So, I've been thinking formations. On the "other" forum I was constantly advocating a Lone Dzeko shape... but we know he doesn't like playing alone up front.

-----------Begovic-------------
Mujdza-Nadarevic-Spahic-Subasic
-----------Rahimic--------------
----Pjanic----------Salihovic----
-----------Misimovic------------
----------Dzeko-Zec------------

If Miske continues to be frozen out in Galatasaray then we need to rethink.


-----------Begovic-------------
Mujdza-Nadarevic-Spahic-Subasic
-----------Rahimic--------------
----Ibricic----------Salihovic----
-----------Pjanic---------------
----------Dzeko-Zec------------

[Zeljo Fanatico]

I can't wait for the friendly match in Atlanta. I already got my tickets in the mail :D We should go ahead and try ahead of a couple new guns such as Besic, Subasic, Bicakcic, Vranjes, Ljevakovic, Cocalic, and Husejinovic. Seems like we have a bright future.. we just have to get these guys integrated into our team successfully.

Some of the younger defenders should definitely be tried out.. Bicakcic is injured I think but Besic should be given a chance, along with Ljevakovic who could be very important for us at DM.

[Celticrugby]

If you guys check out the Atlanta game make sure to take pictures.

I've seen Mexico twice (once against the US in Chicago which was the most tense sporting event I've ever been to), and just seeing Mexico play anybody is always a raucous time.

Chicago was rocking and it was Mexico vs. Guadeloupe in the Gold Cup. :laugh

[PonosBosne]

I wish I can come to the Mexican match. Soon as I come back from Hawaii I'll be working on getting the money and making my way to the match. I just hope that the whole arena is not sold out.

[Zeljo Fanatico]

It'd be a good idea to order your tickets now man. I'm sure they'll be sold out in like a week. It'd be awesome if you could come; we could meet up or something.

[PonosBosne]

I'll talk to my friend and see if I can barrow the money. Nermin can you give me the website or phone number were you used to order the tickets. You know me I do not trust a lot of these website when it comes to tickets ordering and such stuff like that.

Thank you very much bro, I'll talk it over with my friend and see if he can loan me the money. How much was your one ticket?

Man I'm so envious you guys get to go and I don't.. please take pictures!

[Zeljo Fanatico]

Thank you very much bro, I'll talk it over with my friend and see if he can loan me the money. How much was your one ticket?

I bought 8 tickets, planning to sell 7 for twice as much :D

Depends on where you're seated. The website I sent you shows you the prices of each particular section. Just toggle around bro, and choose something you like.

[A(Bosancero)]

Man I really want to go... but my parents are so old school.

Well if you bought 8 tickets then. Please save me one and I'll buy it off you bro. I still have your cellnumber so we can stay in contact when we are trying to find each other haha.

[Celticrugby]

Yeah, you'll want to get in asap because any game in the US featuring teams from North/Central America sell out VERY quickly.

[PonosBosne]

Yeah I bet, there is hella Latinos around here.

[A(Bosancero)]

25,000 Bosnians is a load though. We can out chant them with that much. How big is the Georgia Dome?

[Sremac]

Around 71,000-72,000.

[A(Bosancero)]

Sema at first I thought your name said Crnac :laugh

[Sremac]

About time someone realized what my name means in disguise :laugh :p

[PonosBosne]

Hey Nermin how much did you pay for one of those tickets?

[A(Bosancero)]

Thats what happens when you live in STL :D

[PonosBosne]

Thats what happens when you live in STL :D

What do you mean?

[Zeljo Fanatico]

Hey Nermin how much did you pay for one of those tickets?

About 50 bucks each.. something like that. My dad bought them. Don't buy it from me; my dad will ask for 100+ bucks for each ticket because everyone would want them the week before the match... it'll be a rip off. I'd sell it to ya for 20 bucks if I was the one who bought them to begin with, I swear, but that's not the case. I suggest you buy them from ticketmaster or off the phone ASAP. It's as easy as taking candy from a baby. If for some reason its all sold out, just text me.

Whatever Hajrovic is, we could start a thread called "Foreign players who look like Bosnians" - my first nominee would be: FRANCESCO TOTTI.
He has that central Bosnian face - I can imagine him working some small time bar in summer, chatting up the diaspora girls, hoping one will fancy him, and save him from his misery - he thought when he was a teenager that he would be so much more than this, he thought he'd be a footballer or an actor, but s h i t didn't work out and he's stuck in small-town hell. :D In Maglaj, or Zavidovici.

I expect us to get at least 4 points from the two games against Romania. And, to be honest, if we can't defeat this current Romanian side than we definetely don't deserve to be at Euro 2012.

Mile Kovačević bit će prvi predsjednik bh. fudbala!

Predstavnici FSRS, koji su do sada bili protiv ukidanja Predsjedništva N/FS BiH, spremni su prihvatiti statut koji nalaže FIFA i UEFA, ali da će zato dobiti mjesto predsjednika

Ono što je bila realna opcija prije nego što je Skupština N/FS BiH u julu prošle godine odbila prijedlog FIFA i UEFA o usvajanju novog Statuta, postaje sve izvjesnija opcija pred novu Skupštinu bh. kuće fudbala.

N/FS BiH neće biti susupendovan, jer se uveliko unutar dva entitetska saveza pravi dogovor kako da se usvoji Statut, a da ne bude pobjednika niti poraženog. Prema pisanju Sana predstavnici FSRS, koji su do sada bili protiv ukidanja Predsjedništva N/FS BiH, spremni su prihvatiti statut koji nalaže FIFA i UEFA, ali da će zato dobiti mjesto predsjednika.

Navodno su i Bošnjaci spremni na taj kompromis, jer će se na taj način izbjeći sankcije. Hrvati su dobili mjesto predsjednika federalnog saveza (Iljo Dominković), pa će oni prihvatiti svaki dogovor ostale 'dvije' strane.

Po svemu sudeći prvi predsjednik Saveza bit će Mile Kovačević, ugledni advokat iz Bosanske Gradiške, koji u fudbalskim krugovima slovi kao najkorektniji i najsposobniji sportski radnik.

Njegov izbor za prvog predsjednika N/FS BiH olakšan je neslogom unutar bošnjačkog korpusa, koji jedan drugom podmeću klipove. Jusuf Pušina se želi vratiti po svaku cijenu u NSBiH. Sulejman Čolaković još većom žestinom opstruira njegov legalitet, a predsjedničke ambicije pokazaju i drugi bošnjački kadrovi. Kako su posvađani do te mjere, jedino ih može pomiriti izbor Kovačevića za prvog čovjeka našeg fudbala.

Podsjetimo, FIFA i UEFA dale su rok N/FS BiH da do 31. marta ove godine usvoji novi Statut, odnosno ukine Predsjedništvo i izabere jednog predsjednika ili automatski slijedi suspenzija.

lol what a weak compromise. Bosniaks get the shit end of the deal once again. I'd rather have a 3 president system than have anyone from the RS be president of the FA.

BTW, I heard that Kovacevic guy is actually pretty decent but we shall see.

Damn Sema, I like that line-up a lot. And I never thought of it. But I think that line-up is really worthy of special things to come if they actually go with that line-up. We would win a lot of match. But then again I know Sušic will not go with that line-up.

That lineup makes a lot of sense with the players we have but I don't know about Ibro on the wing.. He's not the fastest player.

----- Medunjanin - Salihovic
----Zec ----- Pjanic ----- Lulic
------------- Dzeko

We saw what kind of mess a tall, quick, powerful, and technical player like Dzeko & a short, quick, gritty player like Tevez can produce for defenders, which is why a combination of Zec & Dzeko up front would be pretty lethal. Zec is the closest Bosnian to Tevez's style. Quick wings to complement the technically centered Pjanic in the middle; Medunjanin & Salihovic both deep-lying playmakers. That trio in the middle (Medo, Salihaga, and Pjanic) is densely skilled, not very fast, but Lulic/Zec can make up for that. I'm taking a leap of faith with Subasic and Bicakcic, because I believe in their abilities. It's not about fielding the best players more than finding a well-balanced team. For example, both Misimovic and Pjanic in the starting lineup is not balanced to me.

I like your line up and I think it's really effective on attack. But I think the defense could use a change. I would go with this defense for us as, I think it is more talented, faster, stronger and athletic.


Mujdza - Besic - Spahic - Vranješ


That is your Bosnian Iron Sheet-Metal.

[Zeljo Fanatico]

It can go so many ways...

Mujdza - Vranjes - Spahic - Subasic

That's also good. I wouldn't want both Besic & Spahic starting at the same time. Neither player is tall and both are extremely similar in style. I put Bicakcic next to Spahic, not because he's better, but because he's 6'1" and a destroyer.

Okay that is good too, and yes you are right it can go either way. But if Besic can be like Spahic then why not have to monsters in the middle because you do not have to be tall if you are defending someone 20-30 meters away from goal and you are going to win the ball for sure. Spahic can care less about being tall he has the legs and the eye to see the ball that is all it matters.

He's the starter for now, but with his skills he's a bench player on the international level IMO.

Nothing it's just that he was pissed off at Susic after the coach realized that he is not really a reliable defender anymore.

Anyway going back to lineup discussion on the top of the page, I really think Nermin's lineup would murder Romania, that would pick and tear them apart and just not even know what came at them.

that's pretty much it ... i would have salihovic instead of miske but the suspension is killing us

[TP19]

I like Besic but can we really already trust his abilities enough to put him in the starting 11 in a qualifying game? Wouldn't that be risky and stressful for such a young player?

[PonosBosne]

This would be my line-up against Romania.

http://www.footballuser.com/Formations/2011/01/58942_Bosnia_and_Herzegovina.jpg


This would be for 2nd leg against Romania.


http://www.footballuser.com/Formations/2011/01/58946_Bosnia_and_Herzegovina.jpg

[SarajevoBlueboy]

Subasic at CB and Vranjes at LB?

I would switch them around and you got a good lineup.

[Zeljo Fanatico]

Big Kurac, that's actually a very good lineup. Just switch Subasic and Vranjes.

[TP19]

Why Big Kurac?

[PonosBosne]

Why Big Kurac?

I used to have that username it was actually spelled BIG KURAC haha.



Also why change Vrangeš when he can play left back and he is also registered left back.

[SarajevoBlueboy]

Because Subasic is a LB! He played CB against Poland in the 1st half and didn't do too well while Vranjes was a regualr at CB for Sheriff Tiraspol!

[PonosBosne]

Because Subasic is a LB! He played CB against Poland in the 1st half and didn't do too well while Vranjes was a regualr at CB for Sheriff Tiraspol!

But he can play left back also. As I'm sure Subašic can play center back. Also I'm just happy to see them both play also, I would like to see Besic also come in for either Vranješ or Subašic.

[SarajevoBlueboy]

So why wouldn't you put them in their natural positions where they play for their clubs? Besides...Vranjes is better off at RB, he played there against Slovakia.

Experience.

[KulinBan]

Here's my preliminary formation - though I'm not that happy with it cuz we lack wide midfielders. But here I'm thinking about forward-minded fullbacks, going deep into the opposition half while the central midfielders establish possession and density during attack - alot of stations to build up towards goals. It could work.
http://www.footballuser.com/Formations/2011/01/59038_Bosnia_and_Herzegovina.jpg

[KulinBan]

And after next game, this could be our best bet, a 4-2-3-1:

[Zeljo Fanatico]

KulinBan, I haven't seen better lineups for the national team in a long long time man
. Love it.

[Saraj Fanatico]

We need two defensive midfielders. Its the only thing that seems to keep our midfield from being raped in the anus.


4-2-3-1

--------------------Dzeko------------------
-----Salihovic----Ibricic-----Pjanic--------
------------Rahimic----Medunjanin--------
----Lulic---Spahic---Vranjes---Mujdza----
-------------------Begovic------------------

For the game vs Romania when Sejo cannot play, I would move Ibro to the left and let Miske take Playmaker... so in other words... Ibricic-Misimovic-Pjanic. :)

[Sremac]

^^^ best lineup yet. Rahimic haters assemble! Haha

[Kapetan]

Hell to the yeah, I'm a big fan of DMs. We always play well with low lying midfielders in place.

[uBosna.com]

There will be around 20,000 Bosnians at the game, pretty good number. We can beat them if we play well.

We recently played Slovakia and we did great, played them to perfection although the defense is still a sore spot for us.

I will be one of the 20,000 (: i cant wait i keep counting down the days till the game.
i think Bosnia will win 2-1, but it can go eather way.:cool

[uBosna.com]

I can't wait for the friendly match in Atlanta. I already got my tickets in the mail :D We should go ahead and try ahead of a couple new guns such as Besic, Subasic, Bicakcic, Vranjes, Ljevakovic, Cocalic, and Husejinovic. Seems like we have a bright future.. we just have to get these guys integrated into our team successfully.


i got my tickets to section 126 row 10 (:
its going to be krazzzyyyy


GO BOSNAAAAAA :cool

[uBosna.com]

you should come man, this is once in a life time.

Ridiculous. I'd probably switch Rahimic for Cocalic for Romania/France and work Cocalic in against Albania/Luxembourg.

[Sremac]

If only Cocalic got a call up, which won't happen. Basically, being the NT coach consists of you calling up the same players for every game, and only bringing in new faces when the players you would usually call up are sick/injured/retire. That seems to be the way Susic operates.

No concern to me, I will be sleeping during that game. It will be broadcasted here at like 4 in the morning or something. I love the NT but I am not that crazy...

Actually it will be broadcasted live on BHT at 2 o'clock in the morning (European time). Unlucky for all of those who live in BIH. I feel for you guys.

It seems like a good amount of people are coming from Canada to watch the game, there isnt really a big fan base in Canada for bosnian fans the only city I can think of is maybe Vancouver and also Toronto a bit.. I still dont get why the fans are getting mixed up thats so stupid why the f*k would anyone wana sit beside mexican fans, most people know that they are wild, but go figure what do americans know about soccer :rolleyes:

But seriously, Ibricic has been ridiculous for his club in Croatia but really hasn't impressed that much with BiH. Seems a little overwhelmed when playing against better competition. Playing in Russia should help.

I disagree, Ibricic has always been good for Bosnia. He plays always hard and tries to put us in a winning position. I just think Cocalic doesn't deserves to start over him.


And it is not the same. Keepers are different, Cocalic can play somewhere on the field but not over Ibricic. :D

[KulinBan]

[Sremac]

I think "ridiculous" in his post is supposed to mean something along the lines of "Sick!" but in a good way. So, your lineup is so good that it's ridiculous. I base this on the smily thats bowing down to you. Sorry if I'm wrong :laugh.

[KulinBan]

I do not like that one because I think Ibricic deserves to start and I think Vranješ is a better defender then Bicakcic.

I haven't seen Vranjes as CB and obviously there's no chance he'll start ahead of Mujdza at RB. On the other hand, I've really been impressed with what I've seen of Bicakcic. If he could break into a starting lineup at club level - he would be a beast.

Well in my opinion from watching both I think Vranješ is a better choice for the starting role against back to back Romania match. Then around 60th minute I would sub in Bicakcic both legs around that time and see what he has to prove if he proves he is better then Vranješ in only 60 minutes of play then Vranješ 120 minutes of play then I would give the role to Bicakcic and tell Vranješ to push himself and improve and he will get the stating role back.

But Vranješ is the Bosnian Vidic!

Whenever he was given the chance, he had one of the 3 highest ratings for his team, never any lower than that. That minor injury he got broke his rhythm, but he'll be back, I'm sure. If it wasn't for that injury, he would've continued starting.

Is he injury free currently? And also when is the last time he played for Stuttgart?

He came back from injury and played for Stuttgart II last weekend in their 1-1 draw against Aalen.

He's back in Stuttgart's senior squad for this weekend's match.

"BIĆU NA SPISKU ZA DUELE SA BJELORUSIJOM"

Posljednju utakmicu u dresu Eintrachta odigrao je početkom decembra 2009. godine (Mainz), a nedavno je po treći put operisao lijevu nogu.

Naravno, riječ je o Zlatanu Bajramoviću, fudbaleru koji je u dresu našeg nacionalnog tima uvijek pružao svoj maksimu, no u isto vrijeme riječ je i o fudbaleru koji nije miljenik sreće.

Zbog povrede Bajramović je van terena već više od godinu dana, no uvjeren je da će se vratiti, te da će ponovo obuči najdraži dres, onaj reprezentativni.

"Nisam rekao zbogom fudbalu. Posebno sada kada sam uspješno obavio i treću operaciju lijeve noge u 2010. godini. Za posljednju operaciju rekao bih da je i najbolja. Morat ću još malo pričekati da skinem gips, no kada su doktori optimisti, onda moram biti i ja", rekao je Bajramović u razgovoru za Avazov Sport.

Fudbaler Eintrachta uvjeren je da će se uspješno vratiti na teren, te da će ponovo zaigrati za naš nbacionalni tim.

"Ako ne budem spreman za Rumuniju i Albaniju, budite uvjereni da ću se naći na spisku reprezentativaca za mečeve sa Bjelorusijom. To mi je prvi veliki cilj u nastavku karijere. Bit ćemo tu da zajedno proslavimo pobjede i plasman na Evropsko prvenstvo", dodao je Bajramovič.

HANDS DOWN BEST LINE UP! :clap :dk :bowing


That is a brilliant line-up, I think those are our best 11 in the whole country of Bosnia. They should be the standard 11! I swear this is a genius line-up! Big props my little bro, always loved ya!

[Kapetan]

I agree great lineup.

BTW guys, looks like most of us wouldn't start Miske anymore. It's a shame, he was a brilliant player in the Bundesliga but since the Portugal playoffs, he's sucked hard. Complete black hole in that important midfield slot.

If he regains his form, maybe we can talk, but the 10 role should go to Pjanic for now.

[Zeljo Fanatico]

Thanks guys I appreciate it :) Took me a while to decide who should go on the left. Thought maybe drop Ibricic, push Lulic on left wing, and have Subasic play leftback, but then 3 things came to mind:

- Lulic has been a success at leftback. Wouldn't wanna change anything and throw Subasic into the fire when Lulic has been fine for us.

- If his defensive capabilities are questioned, you have those 2 defensive midfielders covering for his bursting runs up front; Salihovic comes to mind, another player that has been a success at left wingback. He's perfectly capable of dropping back to leftback when Lulic is making one of his trademark runs up front. At best, it makes us unpredictable.

- Ibricic has the ability to cut inside and create chances, shoot on target, and score goals, and we all know he's perfectly capable of doing that judging by his record from last year when he was the 2nd top goalscorer in the league; the Lokomotiv coach said he has the best shot on the team a couple days ago. Even though he's stationed on the left wing, he's perfectly capable of playing a hybrid of a left winger and helping forward; would be a shame to waste his lethality up front by deploying him in the middle.

I couldn't decide between Bicakcic (feisty defender, decent amt of time for Stuttgart, but lacks experience & is relatively unproven), Pandza (tall, strong, but lacks technical ability & often reacts slowly), and Vranjes (has played only one match for the NT and that as a rightback; still a bit young to start as a centerback, and hasn't really played for any bigger club than Sheriff), so I just chose Cocalic because he combines the best qualities from all these defenders. Even though he plays as a defensive midfielder for Panionios, he's perfectly capable to play as a centerback; he did so while captaining the Bosnian U21 team. Not only is he quick, strong, and great in the air, he's also intelligent & can read the game well. His technical and passing ability is extremely underrated; he's an all-around solid defender who has the attitude of a captain. He'd definately form a successful partnership with Spahic.

I couldn't decide between Bicakcic (feisty defender, decent amt of time for Stuttgart, but lacks experience & is relatively unproven), Pandza (tall, strong, but lacks technical ability & often reacts slowly), and Vranjes (has played only one match for the NT and that as a rightback; still a bit young to start as a centerback, and hasn't really played for any bigger club than Sheriff), so I just chose Cocalic because he combines the best qualities from all these defenders. Even though he plays as a defensive midfielder for Panionios, he's perfectly capable to play as a centerback; he did so while captaining the Bosnian U21 team. Not only is he quick, strong, and great in the air, he's also intelligent & can read the game well. His technical and passing ability is extremely underrated; he's an all-around solid defender who has the attitude of a captain. He'd definately form a successful partnership with Spahic.


Yeah I totally agree, I have started really liking Cocalic. I seen what he can do and boy is he smart and he was really impressive. I think he is ready to start for us he is really impressive.

[KulinBan]

Miske is of course one of our best players - but his form for the NT has dipped, not to mention the Hagi debacle, we'll have to wait and see what happens.
Zeljo your lineup is good - the only thing I wish was different, is more non-Bosniak players - but that's not your fault. And this: Lulic does not convince me at LB, I want Subasic, this guy eats orphaned babies for breakfast.

I'm not really convinced in Lulic's defending abilities as much as you guys are. Sure, he had a few good moments playing as a LB for the national team but I think it would be extremely risky to play him in that position against stronger opponents as he would most likely get ripped apart completely by fast wingers.

[PonosBosne]

Vat iz problem PrajdofBoznia?

How does Lulic not convince you enough to stay in that position? Nermin explained well everything. Also if you are going to bring up that Hasagic crap, just look at Lulic then in the same way, like Lulic has shown skill, talent, and he is intelligent. Same with Begovic in order to replace Hasagic and be successful.

I disagree, he can hold his own.

[Zeljo Fanatico]

Lulic is there because he has the ability to burst forward and create chances from the flanks; we're not sure if Subasic can do that. There's a reason I have 2 defensive midfielders there... it makes up for Lulic's lack of (if any, judging from last couple of matches) defensive ability, especially considering Salihovic has played at left wingback for quite some time and understands that position well. Guy can cover for Lulic when Lulic is making those runs up front... and vice versa.

Exactly, this works out really well. If Sušic is smart enough he would play this line up.

[TP19]

Neither Salihovic or Lulic are natural left-backs and we should not force players to play out of position. We all saw how poor a great player like Ibricic was when he was forced to play at RB position against Portugal.

Yep, shows Hasagic sucking ass once again hahaha :laugh My god he sucks, the moron didn't even wanna move, pathetic!


Also Pjanic my gosh, he is the real deal man. He needs to be taking every free-kicking, we need to forget about Miske and his free kicks because they are nowhere near what they used to be. Mismiovic is slowly and slowly drifting away from the national team, it's like he doesn't care anymore.

[Zeljo Fanatico]

Pjanic has been the best national team player in 2010, guy's clutch for us. He needs to find a club that can use him like the Bosnian national team does. Lyon je promasena nada.

Indeed, Pjanic needs to go to England or Spain. Imagine Pjanic is Barcelona OMG! That would be huge! Madrid would hate that, they would count the days on the calender and wait for Pjanics contract to be up so they can sign him! :laugh

I still cannot believe Pjanic is ONLY 20 though, he looks like a 28 year old legend of Bosnia and Europe haha.

IDK about Subasic. I liked him for a while, but he doesn't seem all that fast to me, and speed is a very important tool to have when playing as a LB.

Also we've been recently using our backs as wingers and having them come up and provide crosses and setting our forwards up, and I don't think Subasic has that in him.

[Kapetan]

I don't know but I think Lulic has been doing really well for us at LB. He has some nice speed on that wing and provides a lot of balls in to our forwards and attacking mids. I'm not completely convinced about his defending but he's done a decent enough job right now.. I don't know who could do better at this moment.


BTW, off subject but Lulic and Mujdza look like brothers lol

Yup, there's definitely a resemblance.

And if you really want to go crazy, Lulic looks a lot like Mateja Kezman:

Marko Topić: "Denis Halilović zaslužuje šansu u bh. reprezentaciji"

Poznato je da bh. nogometna reprezentacija godinama ima problema sa posljednjim bedemom. Naime, uz Emira Spahića i Safeta Nadarevića konstantno se traži stoper koji bi donio sigurnost u odbrani. Svakako tu su još Bešić, Pandža i Mravac, ali kvalitetna konkurencija može biti samo od koristi.

Istraživajući igrače koji bi se mogli regrutovati za popunu te pozicije pronašli smo Denisa Halilovića koji je rođen 1986. godine u Sloveniji. Nakon nastupa za klubove iz pomenute zemlje, preselio je u Saturn iz Moskve.

Igrao je rame uz rame sa nekadašnjim bh. reprezentativcem Markom Topićem. Kako bi saznali više informacija pitali smo bivšeg "zmaja" o Haliloviću, koji trenutno nosi dres holandskog Willema II.

"Ono što prvo treba spomenuti jeste da Denis ne bi imao ništa protiv da zaigra za BiH. Mislim da nije upisao niti jedan nastup za Sloveniju i sa te strane ne bi bilo problema. Zahvalan je igrač, sa sjajnim defanzivnim osobinama. Izuzetno dobar u zračnim duelima. Podsjeća me na Muhameda Konjića, možda je samo malo niži rastom. Bio je ključna figura Saturnove odbrane i mogao bi biti od koristi. Dobro bi bilo da mu se pruži prilika, pa neka struka državnog tima procjeni ima li reprezentativni kvalitet", rekao je za Sarajevo-x.com ljubimac bh. navijača Marko Topić.

^ ahhaha killed it

From all the new additions to the BH NT, the one I am extremely pleased with is Mujdza. He is so damn solid at his position and absolutely has helped us out in some of hte biggest matches. Extremely happy with him. Imagine when Arsenal polish out Hjarovic and we have Spahic and Besic and Begovic OMG... ridiculous... why are we now qualifying damn it!

Btw just thought to add, if there was a competition going on for the best looking team in football .. Bosnia is easily top 3 .. damn we're awesome

btw just to let you all know dzeko will NOT BE PLAYING against mexico ... . So when you go to the game, don't wear your Dzeko jersey hehe

[Bosona019]

err this is what they said, in case you guys didn't believe me

Edin Dzeko will not play against Mexico
Bosnian football selector Safet Susic said in an interview with TVSA to Edin Dzeko definitely would not play in a friendly match against Mexico. This is very disapointing to all the Bosnian fans that want to see the Bosnian star in action.

In an interview with Mancini and Jackie, Susic decided to spare our national team, ready to wait for the qualification and duel with Romania. Manchester City has a big game on the 12th and they want Dzeko to be ready.

[Edo98]

Any idea if Zec will be called in to fill in as striker? Pretty sure only Muslimovic/Ibisevic were called up along with Dzeko.

Not that bad of a move IMO. Really looking forward to the Manchester derby and want to see Dzeko play a great game. Sucks for the guys traveling out to Atlanta, but oh well.

[TP19]

damn, we're awsome.. as in we're so awesomely good looking .,..

btw just to let you all know dzeko will NOT BE PLAYING against mexico ... . So when you go to the game, don't wear your Dzeko jersey hehe

I'm not even going to the game and, even if I was, I don't have any Dzeko jersey.

[PonosBosne]

Dzeko is NOT even starting wow! He better come in and it better for that moron Tevez!

[TP19]

Hopefully this is not the start of a bad spell where Dzeko gets to warm the bench for several consecutive matches for no real reason.

[KulinBan]

I want to try an experiment, to make a traditional 4 4 2 if possible.

-----------Dzeko-Zec-----------
--------------------------------
Salihovic-Medunjanin-Pjanic-Ibricic
---------------------------------
Subasic--Spahic--Cocalic--Mujdza



My newest fantasy - this would kill Barcelona:

-------------Dzeko---------------
----------Zec------Pjanic---------
---Salihovic-Cocalic-Ibricic-----
---------------------------------
Subasic-Spahic-Bicakcic?-Mujdza
------------Begovic--------------


Cocalic is thought of as a DM here. 4-3-2-1 - I love the balance of this team - solid back line, the strength of the midfield and the variety of the attack - Pjanic as a creator, Zec as an intruder, foil for Dzeko's finishing.

I love it the more I think about it.

[Saraj Fanatico]

We will be playing 4-3-1-2 according to sources. Zlatan and Vedo on top, behind them Miske, behind him is Pjanic, Medo, Sejo. Then the defense is Mujdza, Spaha, Safet, and Lulic. Pretty good.

[Kapetan]

Not bad.. Worth a shot.

[TP19]

Yeah I like it - but I'm not sure Ibi and Musli are right for each other, if you know what I mean. I'd rather see Zec-Musli type thing.

What are your guys predictions against Mexico

[SarajevoBlueboy]

Safet Sušić poručio da će suspendovati Asmira Begovića!

Kako je krenulo, nije isključeno da u Atlanti protiv Meksika 9. februara Safet Sušić ne bude imao koga uvesti kao zamjenu s klupe u prijateljskom ogledu protiv Meksika.

Nakon Štilić, Džeke... odbijenicu je Sušić danas dobio i od golmana Asmira Begovića, a nešto kasnije i od Senijada Ibričića... Ko je sljedeći? Nije isključeno da ih do ujutro bude još...

Uglavnom, takmica protiv Meksika za koju bi naš Savez trebao inkasirati 300.000 američkih dolara (uz obavezu da dovedemo najjači sastav), prilično je neinteresantna za neke naše reprezentativce.

„Begovićev agent mi je javio da Asmir ne može ići u Meksiko, jer ima obaveze prema svom klubu. To je prilično nekorektno s njegove strane, i to je već drugi put da to radi. Tražit ću da se to sankcionoše“, bio je komentar selektora Sušića večeras u dnevniku BHT1.

Malo nakon Begovića, da mu se ne ide baš u Ameriku usred priprema njegovog tima, selektora je obavijestio i Senijad Ibričić, novopečeni član ruskog Lokomotiva.
__________________________________________________ __________

Good move by Susic putting his foot down. Ibrahim Sehic will get the replacement callup, so I'm kinda happy.

[TP19]

He needs to receive a 3 match ban from the NT or something like that so we make sure he doesn't attempt to buy his way out of the NT ever again.

[YellowCoke]

Woah, this really is the season for all our players to be leavin'

[TP19]

I guess it's just a case of them letting money and fame go to their heads once they move to a stronger league. Hopefully Dzeko will remain loyal to the NT for years to come.
