Sane is a weird one always thought he was quality everytime we played city

He was quality before a serious injury. 

 

Bayern took a major risk on him in the circumstances. And it doesn't look like it will pay off...

Just thinking, and looking forward to... a rematch of the "Miracle of Bern" perhaps deciding who (possibly) goes through in 3rd place.

 

Ference Puskas and Sandor Koscis will be licking their lips upstairs at the prospect of bosszú, @PestiRed, igen?

 

 


Gulacsi will need to be Grosics for that to happen but it would be very sweet to get a bit of payback

 

And Bern wasn’t a miracle - the cheating bastards were all on meth

That's what my Dad, growing up in Osijek at the time, swears on his to-date empty 80yo deathbed.  He first told me about it 35 years ago... in our safe haven of Hobart Tasmania.

With the widespread use of it by the Germans in WW2 it's probably not beyond the realm of possibility.

As we listen to and watch heroics, from days gone by and now (the rematch of "The Miracle of Bern" is to come, for instance, and with the Finns coming up again this evening)... the burgher-schlepped "locality" of the Euros is, more than ever I think, never lost on me.

 

In the days of Dragan Dzajic, the wizardly winger of "Jugoslavija", I went to "Croatia" as an 8-year-old, to visit my beautiful "Nazi" grandma, grandad, and my fabulous Uncle Tom, and never thought anything more of it...

 

... until times like these.  

 

@SasaS knows that people like my Grandpa, and perhaps even his, would end up in the slammer for a month, maybe three, singing this... but now, as nationalism means less and less, and is more and more of a dirty word...

 

... these sorts of things, perhaps, come into their own a little more too.

 

So, for instance, as far as Croatia is concerned. "GO, FINLAND!"

 

And with apologies to the von Trapp family, the father of whom was born in Rijeka...
