1. You can't go to the World Cup with your best players not fully fit through injury and expect to come through smelling of roses.Blaming the coach for their injuries and demanding he go is hardly logical TB or reasonable.So most will agree "what do you know"? The boys did a fine job under the circumstances.Let's hope all is well injury wise during Euro'24 qualifiers and the tournament if we get through.If we do I hope we can show the continent and the rest of the world what they missed out on in Qatar.

  2. Jugoslavija,
    Your predictions seem in line with conventional thinking. On the surface they appear sound. I’m curious, what were your predictions for World Cup 2022. As we can now see, some of the teams advancing to the Quarter Finals were not favored to advance, let alone those that were dark horses. Making predictions usually results with egg on face. But then again, what do I know!

    He will have a short lease, they have a relatively easy qualifying group for EURO-2024 but they will also be expected to advance during the tournament. Serbia should allow some of its younger players more playing time to provide more spark. Gavric and Mitrovic will be 22 years old and could be diamonds in the rough.

  5. Let's talk about the future and European Cup 2024 with the former Yugoslav and Balkan teams.

    Serbia's draw is Hungary, Montenegro, Bulgaria and Lithuania. Serbia should easily be first in the group, if not, time for Stojkovic to go. Hungary will take second.

    Our Albanian friends have Poland, Czech Republic, Faroe Islands, and Moldava, kiss them goodbye, Poland and Czech republic will advance.

    Kosovo has Switzerland, Israel, Romania, Belarus and Andorra. Interesting two wannabe Kosovo Albanians play for Switzerland, once likes scratching his balls. They may throw the game for Kosovo. Kosovo has a chance but Switzerland and Romania should advance.

    Croatia has Wales, Armenia, Turkey and Latvia. Croatia should take it with some challenge from Turkey and Wales.

    Slovenia has Denmark, Finland, Kazakhstan, Northern Ireland and San Marino. Slovenia and Denmark should advance.

    "Northern Macedonia" has Italy, England, Ukraine and Malta. Tough group, Italy and England will advance.

    Greece has Netherlands, France, Republic of Ireland and Gibralter, another tough group. France and Netherlands will advance.
