I'm no fan of Dalic lately, but I don't see how he did much wrong here. They let Sosa play at the European Championship with the u23 team, where he made up an injury not to show up for the decider against England.What's up with this Borna Sosa situation? It's been the main news in Croatian sports for like a week, apparently the Germans thought he was eligible to play for them and he would have been selected in their preliminary squad and this was a three month process but today the DFB announced due to FIFA rules he wasn't eligible the whole time (he didn't have a German passport before playing for the Croatia U21s at the Euros). Makes all three parties look bad (DFB, Sosa and Croatian manager Dalic). You would expect the DFB to be a bit more organized than this, Sosa now alienates the Croatian staff, where he probably would have been going to the Euros but now there will be questions and Dalic is an idiot for not picking a standard starter for Stuttgart in the first place to avoid this whole situation

There is a way out of it, but it's also not that simple.Must not have played a competitive match with another team.
But I think there's a way out of this now (Munir problem).
So within one week Borna Sosa went from being on the Croatia provisional squad, German provisional squad and basically said he will commit to Germany even if he doesn’t get a Euro call-up, DFB announces at the end of the day he isn’t even eligible to play for Germany and today Dalic announced he will not pick Sosa at all for Euros
I guess he can still hope for a U21 call-up for their quarterfinal later this month unless there is some sort of federation “suspension”. The problem is he also alienated a lot of people with his actions on social media basically erasing any history of him playing for Croatia lol
I wish the USSF was so incompetent as to win a World Cup within the last decade.Of course he should have planned his moves better himself, but still another example of how everything DFB touches turns into shit. It's as if there was no one remotely competent employed in the entire organization. Or the janitor, perhaps.
All I know is it will take a mighty effort for us to get out of the group stage. Luckily Skriniar and Dubravka would be coming in on good form. Midfield seems like it will involve combination of Lobotka, Kucka, Duda. Our problem is up front, is our young guy up there either Bozenik or Strelec.
The difference is those teams can score and Slovakia cannot.Mighty effort? Not much difference beetween sweden, slovakia and poland.
will hamsik play?
