The first leg is being played in Beograd on Saturday, 12 October, the second leg is on Wednesday 16 October in Velika Gorica. An interesting match-up in various ways... Croatian squad: Goalkeepers:Vranjić, Radman, Lončarić, Defenders: Pelaić, Mujanović, Bodrušić, Vučko, Ćorluka, Vukman, Vrdoljak, Čale Midfielders: Benko, Tomić, Vukojević, Marčić, Grgurović, Modrić, Strikers: Tadić, Primorac, Bušić, Bartulović, Eduardo, Lakić
Re: U-21 EC play-offs; Croatia vs. Serbia & Montenegro I think Serbia has a more talented squad, but that doesen't always translate to victories. I think both games will be tight, and a maximum of 3 combined goals will be scored.
Re: U-21 EC play-offs; Croatia vs. Serbia & Montenegro Yeah, I think Serbia is individually a little bit better, but we are very firm and tough to score against. It's a good thing we play the first match away. I think even a defeat by one goal will be enough for us, especially if we manage to score. My prediction: Serbia 2-1 Croatia Croatia 1-0 Serbia
Re: U-21 EC play-offs; Croatia vs. Serbia & Montenegro Of course, nothing more or less then Croatia winning is expecting...
Re: U-21 EC play-offs; Croatia vs. Serbia & Montenegro There'll be some dissapointed Croatian posters come next wednesday.
Re: U-21 EC play-offs; Croatia vs. Serbia & Montenegro most deffinetly! ....at marakana croatia 0 srbija 3
Re: U-21 EC play-offs; Croatia vs. Serbia & Montenegro I'm not that much happy, we will play without 4 standard players in 2nd match: captain - Lazovic -that is not too bad for us maybe, but... three midfielders Jankovic, Krasic and Vukcevic. I dont have an idea what will we do without all three of them. They are absolutely our best midielders. Maybe Okuka will get some replacement for Basta at the right back position and put him in the middle. He could perhaps do same thing with Lomic at the left side, but still...we never played like that before.
Re: U-21 EC play-offs; Croatia vs. Serbia & Montenegro Yeah, that sucks. My pediction is 2-1 Croatia, but we will still go through. How did Basta play today? I always liked that guy.
Re: U-21 EC play-offs; Croatia vs. Serbia & Montenegro srbija!!!!!!!!! 3-1 brale!!!!...idemo momci!! dont pump it u sickunts!!!
Re: U-21 EC play-offs; Croatia vs. Serbia & Montenegro I think we will be fine. By the way where is Eduardo de Silva from? And how did he become Croatian?
Re: U-21 EC play-offs; Croatia vs. Serbia & Montenegro Very good, but he knows even better. I think he will show that in wednesday. BTW, I heard that Okuka will probably call 2 more Red Star midfielders because of the situation: Milovanovic and Perovic.
Re: U-21 EC play-offs; Croatia vs. Serbia & Montenegro Congrats!!! But come on, admit that 1st half wasn't easy to watch for you, guys... I just don't know what happened to us,like another team got out in 2nd half. P.S. Da Silva came to Dinamo's youngster at age of 15,along with another brasilian. After 2 years, the other one was sent home and with da Silva a contract was made. Since he showed good quality and have lived and still lives in Zagreb, croatian nationality was offered to him and he accepted it immideately... Still, I'm optimistic and belive that we will win on wednesday
Re: U-21 EC play-offs; Croatia vs. Serbia & Montenegro i hope the serbia fans dont go and smack youz again...really i dont want our youngies playing behind closed doors!
Re: U-21 EC play-offs; Croatia vs. Serbia & Montenegro I heard he called up Brnovic. He plays for Partizan.
