It seems rather bizzare to read this, but Serbian football has actually moved to Cyprus these days. Not only does the senior NT play a friendly tournament with Cyprus, Slovakia and Ukraine, but also the Serbian U21 plays a friendly game against the island nation. Crvena Zvezda (Red Star), arguably the country’s [...]

Well, it’s been a long time since my last post on this blog, and while there aren’t many games I’ve missed writing about (just the Austria qualifer and a friendly against Bulgaria), there ceratinly are a lot of things going on with Serbian football. Now, why did I put this headline? I [...]

Serbia coach Radomir Antić has named his squad for the upcoming WC qualifiers against Lithuania (Belgrade, 11. october) and Austria (Vienna, 15. october), and while there are no major surprises in the list, there are a few noteworthy details. There are four debutants in the team: Bojan Isailović (goalkeeper, FK Čukarički), a [...]

It is well known that in international football there aren’t many places which are harder to play in than Paris. Going away to France is probably every nation’s hardest qualifying match, and unless you come from Scotland, you won’t expect anything good to come out of your little trip to Stade de France. [...]

It was announced yesterday (Christmas press conferences are always a great idea) that former U-21 and Partizan Belgrade coach Miroslav Đukić will take charge of the Serbian national team starting January 1.

Yesterday, the reports were all about Italians who, given the frenzy surrounding Fabio Capello’s arrival in England, are evidently all the rage these days. Not to be outdone, the [...]

I wrote a bit about this on the front page over the weekend, but just to sum up, Zoran Damjanović, director of stadium Miodrag Ćorović, security commissioner Novica Mijušković, and Rade Popović (the Serbian Football Association rep at the Red Star ground during the violence) are all going to be held for at least the [...]

Man. It has NOT been a good seven days for Red Star Belgrade.
First, there was the horrific attack of a plainclothes cop at the Hajduk Kula match, footage and shocking photographs of which, ripe as they were for (quite reasonable) sensationalizing, went all over the world, and didn’t exactly leave the club (or Serbian [...]

(I’m Martha. I’m new.)
As has been expected since the failure to qualify for Euro 2008, the Serbian FA (AKA the FSS) parted ways with the country’s first-ever coach, Javier Clemente, today. (Or, rather, they will when his contract runs out on December 31.)
Clemente has said all along that he wanted to stay, but the [...]
