we are a volleyballing nation...

We reached Ro16 at Euros last year. We're not that bad.

>>150717811
From a group where all teams had 3 points, then you were ATROPELATED by Netherlands.

what's so strange? We're not really a football nation when you look at stadium attendance and TV viewership. And our coaches only let the kids who pay bribes play on youth teams. This is the logical endpoint of that system

4 points. At least we played there and also finished our qualifier group 1st with Switzerland 2nd.

Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania are always last in their groups.

Kek

>>150720061
kek more like Croatia produces good players. The others haven't shat out a non fraudulent player in years and the guys who get a chance at a career only make it because of connections and bribes while actual talents leave the sport for good. And even Croatia is gonna reach this stage soon simply because the current success is a result of the old system from the communist days where a shit ton of money was invested into having a good development system and coaches but now all of that is reallocated into things that actually matter for the country and all the money football has left is a result of corruption and shady businesses. Lets face it capitalism has solved football. The only nations that will win shit are first world countries. Countries like Brazil and Argentina are still afloat because of their sheer population size and sports culture but that won't last forever

>>150720364
also this
thats why you see traditionally shit football countries like Norway slowly becoming powerhouse nowadays. Mark my words, even arabs will start bein decent in a decade or so, since they throw money like mad on football right now

>And our coaches only let the kids who pay bribes play on youth teams
this is one of our main problems as well. when i was a kid, i played for steaua bucharest (now fcsb), but i was benched a lot, barely got any minutes during official games and was eventually kicked out of the club, even though i was MUCH better than any of the other kids. there was a defender that eventually went and played for the senior team, and i used to run circles around this guy in training, he was terrible, but his father was a friend of the youth coach so it didn't matter.
i wasn't special either, there were many kids in the same situation, getting kicked/benched in favour of nepo kids or bribes
i cant imagine the situation has gotten any better considering fcsb is way worse now than it was 20 years ago

>>150720469
Yes this is true I know a guy who got contract only because his dad was some rich guy with connections despite being one of the worst there.

>>150721054
>serbia great team
Loses to England 0-5
>Slovenia and Bosnia
Only one good player for each and you call that good?

>>150721082
*two for slovenia

>>150721082
but how can you suck, while we have good players

>>150721199
You are good for now but you will become bad just like us very soon
That's what happens with former commie countries.
No more investments because of our corrupt neoliberal gov and mass immigration to the west just like the West and the shekelmaster inteded

Bulgaria's downfall must be studied. At least we play every 8 years at Euros.

>>150716982 (OP)
Bulgaria is the best country in the entire world when it comes to scouting in fm, they get a real madrid starter tier newgen almost every year. Maybe life will imitate art, who knows.
Romania is also busted

>>150716982 (OP)
we're an oina country

Everyone overrates themself amigo.
Jusging from your story - some more than others

>>150725261
this would make sense if i was the only case, but like i said there were other kids, way more talented than me, that got axed for no reason.

>>150725342
Good players will always make it

Good players>nepo babies>mediocre players

>>150716982 (OP)
we're dogshit, but comparable to the mighty Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, we're comparable to the likes of Bosnia, Macedonia and Ukraine

>>150725527
you're clueless if you actually think this

>>150725592
Good players = potential first teamers
"Bro I was the best in my age group" is nothing

>>150725582
ok fair enough, but hey look at the bright side, there is always time to sink
