cud anyne tell me y did BosniA REJECT IBRAHIMOVIC when he approached their national team in 1999?
that was so long time ago... but ok, you wonDrulo said:One small correction, we won the tournament in India, beating you 2-0 in the final, but continue..![]()
This is exactly what happened.Kodro said:Citizenship has nothing to do with that, he has dual, Bosnian and Swedish. BiH FA wanted him to play an unofficial B team turnament in India first (which we won 1999 I think), while he wanted to play in A team. They didn't believe in him, that he was going to become so great. Zlatan and his father came to BH FA where they were a bit rude to them, with "who do you think you are" attitude... He was unknown then. Swedish FA were smarter, they believed in him all time so he play for Sweden now. End of story.
Then the only way to get him to play fo you would have been if his dad was patriotic told him to since he was a kid or if he really loves Bosnia and chose to do it cause most players play for the country where they were born.rilla_ said:in sweden
det var ju inte riktigt fallet, men oki!BozniaN said:In the swedish sportspaper called 'Sportmagasinet' they talk about what happend with Zlatan etc. He and his father Sefik was in NSBiH talking about a possible future for Zlatan in BiH NT, first we refused but then he got called up for Milennium Cup. Since our B-Tem was playing in Milennium Cup Zlatan didnt want to go, and we all know the rest....
