Thats a pretty solid squad. Hopefully we can get some points against France and beat Finland and Ukraine both times..
Selmir Pidro left-back from Sarajevo, right-back Josip Ćorluka from Zrinjski, and Obren Cvijanović centre-forward from Velez also called up.
Supposedly Demirovic and possibly Kolasinac (he will meet with Schalke leadership to discuss) will have to leave the squad after the Costa Rica friendly and not be available against France, because they have to return sooner to complete mandatory quarantine and be available for the Bundesliga. Duljevic has to go back to France after the Finland match and quarantine. French league is only allowing players to play in EU countries. Even though we play France as well, because Costa Rica (Zenica) is before the France match Duljevic has to go back and quarantine, making him unavailable versus France. This is so stupid, why even have these matches with al this bullshit.
Also it’s a bit ironic that Ligue 1 isn’t allowing player to play in non EU countries when France will be playing away vs. Bosnia, a non EU country.
At this point given the global situation in Europe, it would be best to postpone the qualifying games which of course won't happen.

I haven't seen a game for so long, i don't even know some of these players. Based on this first half, how are they giving up so much space out there? This is the usual way they play these days? Seems worse than before even although i notice all the veteran players are gone. I do like Krunic and Cimirot's game. What happened to Besic?
