"Moramo biti zadovoljni. Priželjkivao sam Englesku ili Holandiju iz prvog šešira, no ne mogu nam se sve želje ispuniti. Belgija je jedna kvalitetna reprezentacija i volio bih da smo ih izbjegli", za SportSport.ba je istakao Baždarević. "Moglo je biti mnogo gore, a ukoliko nismo u stanju pobijediti naše rivale onda nam realno nije ni mjesto na Mundijalu. Iskreno, moram se javiti i odgovoriti na pitanja, no danas više razmišljam o onom što nas očekuje za mjesec dana nego o kvalifikacijama za Svjetsko prvenstvo. Naše najbitnije utakmice su one koje nam slijede, a nakon kvalifikacija za Evropsko prvenstvo razmišljat ćemo o ovim za Svjetsko prvenstvo" dodao je selektor našeg nacionalnog tima. http://sportsport.ba/bh_fudbal/bazdarevic-moramo-biti-zadovoljni/167820
Arent Greece and Belgium the only major-ish nations we have ever beaten? Turkey as well. That's it. Imagine coming from a country whose most prestigious win came against a country that's basically broke. Man it sucks.
Yeah real sad that a 20 year old country, that has lost more talent than most to other countries and hasnt had any real organization at any level, doesnt have many wins over countries that have been playing football longer than we have been an actual country.
Calm down Mr. Pessimisto. We've beaten Italy, Turkey, Greece, Belgium, Ivory Coast, Mexico, Uruguay, Denmark (back when they were really good), Ghana, Chile, etc. And we only got great like five years ago.
Not true. We've almost always been decent. The team with Salihamidzic, Barbarez, Konjic, Bolic etc. would walk that group Bosnia qualified from. Wouldnt wait until the final game.
Serbia underestimated us and paid the price(it was their first ever home defeat) It would be nice if Bosnia does the same.
Our new manager didn't even underestimate San Marino, the way he talked about them you'd think they were competing for first place in the group
There is a possibility that if Kosovo joins UEFA in the 1st half of 2016, they would join group H (our group) or group I.
For those friendlies vs. Russia, I would not mind to see BiH call up a team full of potential BiH players, with already some NT players. So mix it up a bit. Would any of you guys oppose?
Forgot about this ... http://www.football-rankings.info/2015/07/serbia-albania-somebody-didnt-do-their.html 'Had CAS ruled a week earlier (before the Sunday deadline for matches to be included in the July ranking), Albania would have been in Pot 2, with Bosnia-Herzegovina dropping to Pot 3, while Serbia would have fallen to Pot 4, with Turkey taking their place.' BiH moves to Group G: Spain, Italy, BiH, Israel, FYR Macedonia, Liechtenstein ... and Albania to Group H: Belgium, Albania, Greece, Estonia, Cyprus ... this way you only have to face Israel again ... better?
