hmm I knew about the majority of the Croatia list, Klasnic actually had a choice between three countries! Bih, Croatia and Germany. Though I never knew about Biscan, Kovac brothers and Simic.
Imagine if some of these guys played for Bosnia, the team would be amazing along with some of the talent they have now!
Interesting point. If we had all these players we would have had to field two teams, a Bosnian team and a Hercegovinian team just to fit them all in hehehe

Yes, Klasnic had a choice but so did many others on the list. Niko's and Robert's parents moved from Bosnia to Germany. Igor Biscan is from Bugojno. Dario Simic, I believe he is from Travnik or Livno (not exactly sure which one it is).
So if you marry a Bosnian woman and your child is born in Australia, he is not going to be Bosnian? That would be the same thing if you said Mark Viduka is not Croatian!
DJ you can't have it both ways, if we are going to chase players whose parents were born in Bosnia then you can't argue with the players playing for the Serbian and Croatian NT's because their parents were born over there.
Red Star, "Serbians" do not exist in Bosnia, only Orthodox Christian Bosnians. Muslims from Sandzak are not BOSNIAKS, they are SERBIANS. Milan Rapaic is not a Serb, he is an Orthodox Christian Croatian. Sinan Sakic and Saban Saulic are Muslims but they are Serbs. Nationality and religion are two different things, you should know this by now.

True, Serbians do not live in BiH but in Serbia. SERBS, however,do live in BiH :angel: Nationality and religion are different you´re right, but you forget ethnicity. My view on the matter. Don´t discuss pls cause I´ve already read your opinion :smileani:
B) You mean those books that aren't any older than 10 years? After all, before that, Bosnian wasn't even a nationality.. Serbs in BiH are Bosnian and /or Herzegovinian by nationality [not sure what its called] and Serb by ethnicity. Period..

No matter who i marry, if my child is born in Australia, he will be an Aussie with a Bosnian background and it shouldn't take a rocket scientist to realise that.
If any of the guys you listed chose to play for BIH --- great!!! But i would have never even in my wildest dreams expected anyone that is not born in BiH to play for the NT.
DJ lets agree to disagree, i don't see logic in your argument but you do and that's that.
Ed please lock this thread! It is way off topic! Let's try and stick to football, cheers.
In the end all that matters is that these players for whatever reason are not playing for BIH. We all have one nation we connect we and we dont neccesarily have to be born there either. Really, think about it, do we want players playing for us that are not exactly 100% into the idea? I sure dont.
