No offence but Albania wasn't part of Yugoslavia anyway.

Zlatan would never play for anything else but Sweden. He says it all the time that Sweden made him the player he is and that he's sees it as his duty to represent Sweden.

It's hard to know that. Yugoslavian team would be in top 5 in the world for the past 20 years. Think that would had huge impact on his choice for sure.

 

[Zlatan]

Who's our coach? Osim or Blazevic or both

Dont even put them in the same sentence, Osim can't be compared to Ćiro "hajmo' igrajte malo piĆka mu materina" Blažević

True, but he's great motivator and Osim is great strategist, that's why I put them together.

None taken

Just saying, calling it Balkan team is inaccurate as Alen said.

Zlatan wouldn't play for Yugoslavia. That's a fact.

International football is not about joining the best team, its about the country you want to represent.

Yugoslavia would have one of the strongest teams in this era... better than England.

But Kosovo was and all the mentioned Albanian players are from Kosovo.

 

[Fred]

Serbia have some pretty good players too, but they choke all the time. There is no guarantee that a Yugoslav team wouldn't choke. Assuming Zlatan wouldn't play for the team, this would be my Yugoslav team.

--------------Handanovic

Corluka----Ivanovic---Vidic--Kolarov


---------------Kuzmanovic

------------Pjanic---------Modric

----Jovetic------------------------Vucinic

------------------Dzeko

 

[Quetzalcoatl]

Kuzmanovic, the guy that wasn't so good at Fiorentina? What's he doing now?

 

[Dostoevsky]

MC spot looks the weakest eventhough I like Kuzmanovic he's not so great. But that looks great, yeah.

I believe they'd choke, da, it's in our blood to do so. We'd beat Brazil and Germany but lose against Poland and San Marino.

 

[JuveJay]

AD 117 Roman Empire team would rape everyone.

 

[Quetzalcoatl]

Descendants of Africa XI ftw.

That's really not saying much.

You mean France?

According to his father Šefik Ibrahimovic, Šefik went two times to B&H football federation to tell them about his teenage son, but no one was interested about some Zlatan(which is so typical for our country). His fathers wish was to see his Zlatan playing for Bosnia. So for me there is no doubts that he would play for Yugoslavia. But on the other hand Zlatan would for sure be useful addition to Yugoslavia but wouldn't be needed so badly in national team.

But Kosovo was and all the mentioned Albanian players are from Kosovo.

Really didn't know that and was too lazy to check every player on Wikipedia My fault

Pristina and Trepca had serbs and other nationalities when they played in the league (during Yugoslavia time). But after the war you are right, they'd be called traitors. But we have no problames with Croats, Bosnians, Slovens, only with Serbs.

 

[Djabrail]

If Yugoslavia still existed as one country these players would go far every WC.

I doubt Ibra would pass up the opportunity to play for such a team and would pick this team over Sweden.
