Re: Euro 2008 Who Will Win And Who Do U Support
I said before ( I think)
Croatia will win because I believe they have the talent and depth in the squad, and also Bilic is a brilliant manager IMO.
I support Spain & Croatia!!

Re: Euro 2008
Once again Croatia show what a good side they are. Eduardo who? Can't wait for their match with Turkey now. I hope commentator David Pleat gets sent home before he ruins another match. He can't pronounce half of the player's names and just talks a load of drivel.

svejk reacted to Smartdoc in Have Abrahmovic, Gillette/Hicks, Shinawatra, Glazers etc. got it wrong?
The latest annual review of football finance from Deloitte (a leading finacial firm which analyses sports business) has revealed some unexpected results. It appears that despite all the money being plunged into the English Premier League through TV deals, sponsorship, merchandising, foreign investors, etc., it is still not the most profitable league. The figures show that the Bundesliga has overcome the EPL and is ow the most profitable club. The main cause of this is the escalating player wages in the EPL with clubs like Portsmouth showing an increase in wages of 49% from the last year . So have the foreign chairmen I've mentioned, who we all accept are not true football fans, got it wrong? Admittedly, some have other agendas in escaping from their homeland such as tax evasion charges, spreading their assets etc. (I better say allegedly here in case Mr. Abrahmovic or Mr. Shinawatra are SM Forum followers ). But all of them are businessmen in the end and must be wondering if they've invested in the wrong league
Of course this may be a temporary glitch in the money making machine that is the EPL, but forecasts are suggesting wages will continue to escalate. Despite the current uncertain climate, clubs are pressing on with stadium developments, signing better players, recruiting more staff to deal with ever-increasing squads and workforce. Surely, the revenue made in the EPL will sustain profitability for all clubs or is the EPL on a path to self-destruction?
Other issues also arise from the report:
- Surely, Bundesliga fans must question where all the profitability is going? They have the lowest wage bill of the big four league in Europe by some way. An example of the world-renown German efficiency and prudence. But surely fans would take success (in Europe) over prudence and profitability any day? Sounds like there are some very rich chairmen and board members sitting somewhere in Germany . Particularly when you consider the fact that some of the clubs are run as non-profit organisations!
- The English Championship is now the 4th biggest league in the world in terms of attendance . More people watch championship football from stadia than watch Serie A games. The championship attendances almost equal La Liga total attendances. But are the championship clubs making the most of this gained revenue? Championship football standards have undoubtedly improved but how much?
- Why are attendances in Serie A and La Liga just about comparable to the English Championship when so many class football players play in these leagues? Are there deep-seated problems affecting these attendaces and what factors are involved?
Plenty to discuss and some food for thought

Countries in small circle:
Albania 3,544,841
Croatia 4,490,751
Bosnia and Herzegovina 3,964,388
Bulgaria 7,621,337
Greece 10,645,343
Hungary 10,075,034

Republic of Macedonia 2,054,800
Romania 22,303,552
Serbia 7,780,000
Slovenia 1,932,917
total ~75M +- 200-300k
I don't know if you want Hungary to be include, and you have left Slovenia(ex-Yu) outside the circle. So in worst case it's a little more than 40M

svejk reacted to Bamber86 in UEFA CUP 07/08
Re: UEFA CUP 07/08
It's a call of Unity, it's origins are in the fact that Rangers were the team of the Glasgow shipyard workers, during strikes the chant would be made to suggest the workers were the people whilst the bosses acted like they were above them and had no understanding of how people actually lived, naturally people who were chanting it outside shipyards all week continued it into the stadium at the weekend and as such it has become a Rangers chant. I think in modern times it simply suggests we are a unified group of people.

Re: Euro 2008 Who Will Win And Who Do U Support
Croatia are an amazing clicked team full of unknown talents who make a good impact except for 3 or 4 superstars. Every time I had watched Croatia in the qualifiers, it was like watching the International version of Arsenal, and that is not an exaggeration.
However, despite pointing out those facts above, they will be heavily damaged by the absence of Eduardo. Eduardo was arguably their best player, he could create, make space and best of all, get almost every shot on target when he receives a pass in the box.
They will now have to rely heavily on Modric and Rakitic to supply Olic as they don't really have any other playmakers.
I am going for Spain to win this, mainly because they are also an amazingly clicked team with outstanding individual talent in almost EVERY position. Their main players are World Class, to name a few, Casillas, Puyol, Iniesta, Fabregas, Torres, Villa, Raul ect.. the list is endless.
I am very excited by the prospect of Euro 2008, although I am pretty disappointed England didn't make it through as there isn't a reason for me to support anyone left. Would love to see C.Ronaldo vs Torres in a Portugal vs Spain final, mouthwatering prospect.

Re: Why does the region provide so many technically gifted players?
The answer to this question is : STREET
I think thats the main thing, AND, i dont know do you in England, and western countries, play ''small'' football.
I heared from my friend who plays in germany, that germans play 5 on 5 on a half of a pitch
On balkans, like in brasil, kids (but adults too) before they play normal football play ''small'' football, and we dont have football academyes and that stuff
For me, one of the best, if not the best, Robert Prosinecki
EDIT: btw i am the living example of that, ask Zazoon
