Croatia -v- Serbia

    Huge, huge match tonight in group A.

    Belgium 10
    Croatia 10
    Serbia 4

    Serbia probably can't qualify, or even come second, but a win here for them would seriously upset Croatia's chances of top spot. Croatia and Belgium are top with 10 points, and Serbia and Macedonia have 4 points. Then Wales and Scotland on 3 and 2.

    Macedonia host Belgium in a game Belgium will probably win, meaning Croatia need the win to keep pace with Belgium.

    No away fans allowed, but I'm sure Mihajlovic will still find some way to annoy the Croats :D

    I'd love to watch this game, anyone know if it's on any TV?

    Ya'd probably get a stream somewhere alright.

    I wouldnt be surprised if there was still trouble in some way with fans.

    The Croatians will be very anti-Serbia alright, and they really hate Mihajlovic.

    Himself and Stimac have a bad history.

    I'd give Macedonia a better chance of picking up points than Serbia. They're a mess last few years.

    Really interesting read. So much at stake here tonight. Mihajlovic and Stimac story/feud is fascinating.

    Really looking forward to this game.

    Just about to post this, some truly shocking stuff in there.

    Different level from any other rivalry, the history behind it is crazy.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,205 ✭✭✭Gringo180


    Wonder if theres any betting available on a red card in the match.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,893 ✭✭✭The_B_Man


    I was in Dubrovnik recently, and got a taste of the rivalry from the locals. This game will be big!
    If I watch the Ireland game tonight at home, I'll have this one on the laptop, if at all possible!

    Looking forward to this one - it should be fairly interesting both on and off the pitch!

    forgot about that...will have to settle for the managers so!

    maybe fortunately, wouldn't want to see any violence ruining the game


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,839 ✭✭✭Jelle1880


    Will be interesting to see how the Serbian national anthem is greeted, might set the tone for the rest of the game.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,752 ✭✭✭markesmith


    They should really look at not drawing these two teams against each other. Something is guaranteed to kick off tonight.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,205 ✭✭✭Gringo180


    Any links to watch the game lads?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,224 ✭✭✭✭SantryRed


    Linkkkkk me please :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,014 ✭✭✭Eirebear


    This isn't a footballing rivalry folks, and I find it rather distasteful that some people see fit to reduce on of the bloodiest civil wars this continent has ever seen to a comment regarding away fans "unfortunately" being banned.

    Yes, the game is of huge interest for obvious reasons, but wishing violence and mayhem to come out of it is frankly disgusting.

    Interesting article. Here's the full game mentioned at the start of the article if anyone is interested. Aside from the reference, it's weird watching so many top players competing for silverware in a fairly empty looking stadium.



    Interestingly if you watch the start of it Mihajlovic isn't actually the captain of Red Star like it says in the article, which leads me to wonder how true the " I hope our guys kill your entire family in Borovo." bit is.




  • I thought they were presenting them with laptops there for a minute!

    2-0 now.

    Actually OT but something I've often wondered, why do Croatia often wear their away colours at home even in qualifers?
