Im lost for words.......lol
Croatia lost to France in the Handball aswell.... We all suck from the Balkans.............Im only supporting one team from now on..........."Jugoslavija"
How can all the ex-Yu teams suck so much? You know what i think........our trainers are just not at the standard they once were like in Ex-Yu. I think the last 15 years since the dissolution off SFRJ the countries were able to rely on raw talent been nurchered and trained through the strong school of Yugoslav sport, but i think that old school has now definitly died off. We still have the talent, but we just dont have the class anymore. Wouldnt be surprised if "yugos" start playing for Western Countries now.
Ps. Biggest dissapointments were Jankovic, Ivanovic and the Water Polo team.

One of the conspiracy theories i have heard is that Germany wanted to dominate the sports world and thus attacked yugoslavia in order to eliminate one big rival (at least as far as team sports were concerned).

No, they don't suck. They were just unlucky, besides they were medal favorites so I doubt a bad team could be called that. Yugoslavia was never a medal count leader, I think they got 9 at the Sarajevo olympics. So it's not as if everyone is terrible all of a sudden.

9 is better then 3......But dont forget that was the era of the USSR, and theyde usually dominate all the sports Yugoslavia was good at.

Actually it's 4. Once you rid yourself from bias, you'll see that the countries aren't any worse off.

Biggest dissapointments were Jankovic, Ivanovic and the Water Polo team. It was a confluence of factors. The water polo team just looked tired. Ivanovic was hurt and Jankovic was playing hurt. Zimonjic and Djokovic are not used to playing together. The football team was being pushed to lose by the country's own federation. I don't know what's wrong with the volleyball team, but they are not the same side anymore. Pretty crappy Olympics all in all. The country is barely functioning, I am not surprised that the sports suffers. We have to improve the economy and accountability in the country. Sports will follow.

Sarajevo was the winter olympics so you cant compare them to these ones plus yugo was the host nation which means they were in every event so 9 medals is shit lol

Volleyball team are fairly new/young and they did well to take the USA to 5 sets in the quarters... The volleyball team worked their arses off for every point and that is all you can ask of any serb team! If all of our teams played how our volleyballers do then we'd be much better off...
And as for yugoslavia, fuck that abomination!

In 1988 Seoul Yugoslavia won 12 medals. If you add up Croatia (5), Slovenia(5) and Serbia's(2) it's 12 with a guarantee of Serbia or Montenegro getting a bronze in water polo and possibly a bronze for Croatia in Handball I don't think things have changed too much...

Serbia didnt play bad against USA in volleyball seeing as they beat Russia in the semis and now Brazil in the finals by more. Didnt expect that.
Serbia vs Montenegro in water polo bronze medal match soon
