Welcome to Soccer Serbia, your source for all news related to the nation we call home, Serbia (Srbija). My name is Carlos and along with my friend Ross, we will be here to write about all things related to Serbia and Serbian Soccer. No topic will be out of bounds and with our own varying opinions on issues, you are sure to see some contrasting thoughts on how the game is and should be played in our native land. Since there are not a lot of credible English-language sources on soccer from the Balkans, we hope that we will be able to educate the rest of the world about our once great soccer-powerful nation.
While former Eastern European nations like The Czech Republic and Russia have been able to bounce back from the fall of Communism, Serbia with all the problems it has faced over the past 15 years is still far behind and while the future seems bright, it is still a long journey.
On our blog, we will be focusing on a few major topics
National Team News : We'll discuss various topics in this regard. From our views of recent and upcoming matches to team selection. We will try to shed light on all aspects of National Teams, from the Senior squad, to our youth teams and even our Futsal (when applicable). Here you are bound to see contrasting views between myself and Ross. Also, during matches, we will try to give our views by the minute and we will have post-match wrap ups.
Domestic News : Prior to the break-up of Yugoslavia, the Balkans was very rich in soccer quality both domestically and in Europe. Here we will keep you up to date on the weekend's fixtures in the Meridian Super Liga (Serbia's First Division) and the Prva Liga (our 2nd Division). Here you can read about new hirings and/or firings and rumors of player transfers within the teams that play in Serbia.
UEFA Competitions : While Serbian clubs have not had much success in recent years in Europe, we still compete with a lot of determination and most Western European clubs like to avoid having to travel to Serbia to play. When a Serbian club is in action in Europe, be sure to stay tuned to see what we have to say.
Odds and Ends : The last topic will be everything else in between. From financial news, stadium updates to anything related to the sport in the country and Europe, we will mention. This section will also allow us to voice our own opinions on certain subjects (The Balkan League, Champions League Future, etc...) This is where our creative juices will flow and I am positive that what we have to say will be enlightening. We will also talk about things that might not be directly related to Serbia. We love the sport, so if something interests us, we'll be sure to talk about it.
So there you have it, a brief overview of what to expect from us. There will always be something to talk about so be sure to stay tuned. Also, we love to hear from other soccer fans, so please be sure to leave comments on our blog and if you enjoy what you're reading, please tell your friends.
