Serbia

Introduction

By: Nikola | September 4th, 2008 | 1 Comment »

Hello to everyone, my name is Nikola and I’ll be the new blogger at the Serbia World Cup Blog, and if I’m not mistaken (and I may be), the first one to actually come from Serbia. Now, that has three major consequences: first of all, I’ll have more information available to me than anyone who doesn’t speak Serbian ever could, and I’ll give my best to make most of them available to all english-speaking football fans around the world. Secondly, I’ll definetely have a lot of motivation to work here, since it’s always a great honor to represent your own country to the world, even if it is such a minor role as writing a blog about it. But related to this, there is a third major issue: how to remain neutral and realistic if you are a devoted fan? Well, it’s probably the biggest problem of all the bloggers here, and I solemnly declare I’ll give my best to be as neutral, respectful and realistic as a football fan can be. Whether I have suceeded or not, it will be up to you to judge!

I would also like to say a special thanks to all the people that have written on this blog in the past. I sincerely believe that, with so many obstacles between them and the team that they have written about, their work was simply outstanding. I just hope I’d be able to continue the good tradion, and make this an interesting blog that people all around the world would actually enjoy reading. Yes, I may be an amateur blogger, but I definetely have a lot of enthusiasm!

Đukić is Official

Badass ĐukićIt 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.
Since his resignation from the Partizan bench last week, it’s been a foregone conclusion that Đukić would get the job, but ... [read]

No more Clemente(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 ... [read]

Enjoyed Blogging For Serbia and Montenegro

By: Lyle | June 21st, 2006 | 10 Comments »

Even though not being a Serb or Montenegrin, I enjoyed writing for your team. It was difficult coming up with stuff not being linguistically connected to Mother Serbia, and I am studying to take the Texas Bar Exam and that has prevented me from being totally dedicated to this blog. Special thanks to Jadran Sport for being ... [read]
