lost ...... “This is where I had to step up and decide like a man and it’s my decision. Now I want to make my country proud,’’ Hrustic told the Herald Sun. “They (Bosnia) have been calling left, right and centre in the last two weeks. They wanted me to come, even officials from the Bosnian federation contacted me and my agent, telling me their plans. “I was flattered to get interest from Bosnia. But I’ve got my eyes on one thing now, the Socceroos. “I’m rapt to make the 30-man squad. I know how important this month is for Australia _ the World Cup qualifier is massive, as is the Confederations Cup. So I’d be honoured to be named in the 23-man squad. “With the way they went about it, the month that’s coming up and a massive game at the MCG, in my home city, against Brazil, I had nothing to think about.’’ “I spoke to mum and dad about it and Jason. I asked him everything, from A to Z about how it works. I was rapt to choose Australia."
Seems similar with what happened with Seferovic. We call them to our u21 team while the other to a world cup qualifier.
We need to go to another tourney or host 2 countries for friendlies and call up fringe players like him, and players from the BiH league. I want to see what some of these guys can offer. I just watched Croatia beat mexico with a team full of players from the HNL. Mexico had a fulls trength team. I just want to see what some of them offer, I know one of the guys that got called up to the Croatia team was elgible for us as well.
A potential B- team call up squad like the one that went to Japan: GK: Hadzikic, Piric, Karacic LB: Pavlovic, (Civic, Bekic, Letic, Subic, or Kvesic) CB: Memisevic, Dumic, Anicic, Graovac, Mihojevic RB: Efendic, Kadusic DM: Grahovac, Tomic, Ordagic, Vrancic RM: Stevanovic, Milosevic AM: Gojak, Krunic LM: Duljevic, Menalo ST: Djuric, Hodzic, Kodro, Measnovic Something along those lines.
Sead Haksabanovic has chosen Montenegro, currently on their bench. Not sure if BiH were ever interested.
We really should keep an eye on this guy. I've heard that the Slovenes are trying to convince him to play for them. Linked to Spanish and German clubs as well. 1st goal was a beauty btw.
Still eligible for us..... can play as a left back or a dm. I do remember a few times he did get a call from our youth teams but I don't think he ever came. “Краснодар” подписал Михайло Ристича#Ристич #ФККраснодар https://t.co/88JiQhIiJT— FCKrasnodar (@FCKrasnodar) June 30, 2017

Could just be using us to get a call up like Tanksson and Gudelj Celtic defender Jozo Simunovic ready to ditch Croatia to play for Bosnia
Baždarević: “Zajedno sa svojim saradnicima ozbiljno pristupam svakom igraču. Pratimo mnoge, a Šimunović je vrlo interesantan igrač. Pratim ga već neko vrijeme, razgovarali smo, i on je oduševljen zbog mogućnosti da igra za BiH. Smatram da bi nam dosta pomogao, jer je mlad i ima kvalitet. Igra u Celticu koji je prvak Škotske, vrlo je interesantan i sigurno bi mogao pojačati konkurenciju u odbrani”. http://reprezentacija.ba/227443-stoper-celtica-jozo-simunovic-uskoro-u-dresu-bih
Parents and grandparents all from Bosnia. Says he intends to play for us: "Istina je, odlučio sam da igram za Bosnu i Hercegovinu. Moji roditelji, moj djed i baka svi su iz BiH. Kontaktirao me selektor Mehmed Baždarević i nakon prvog razgovora dao mi je vremena da razmislim. Nakon toga razgovarao sam sa svojom porodicom i odlučili smo da igram za BiH. Nakon toga ponovo sam u par navrata razgovarao sa Baždarevićem i donio definitivnu odluku da obučem dres BiH. Čvrsto stojim iza svoje odluke i radujem se što ću se priključiti Zmajevima – kazao je Šimunovic za Sportske.ba." http://sportske.ba/simunovic-ekskluzivno-za-sportske-ba-cvrsto-stojim-iza-odluke-da-igram-za-bih/
Hahaha I love the music choice. Nice to get a player from a solid club, he probably won't be at Celtic much longer. Cap tie him in August, Croatia's loss is our gain.
Wow, this is great news. Should still be a bit spectacle about all this but as things stand now it looks all good. Should add something to our defense. Really suprised Croatia let him go this easily.
