Yeah, united they could build one of the best squads in Europe (although this team isn't the best example, like Mill said).

Yugoslavia produced some of my all time favourite players. I always felt sorry that they never managed to win a single title dispite being close to it... not talking about the country or politics here, but I do miss the team. Their league could potentially be quite decent aswell if it still existed today (I mean as in able of producing a team or two capable of achieving what some ukranian, russian or turk teams have achieved). Since the plavi is gone now, I'd at least like to see one of the former yugoslav nations win something someday...


If they won a World Cup as a nation, who would hold bragging rights to claim it?

If I'm not mistaken, officially Serbia's national team is considered the succesor of Yugoslavia's national team.

I think it's pretty stupid and unfair though; once a country splits and the national team dissappears, there shouldn't be a succesor team that carries on with the old country's record. All of the new teams should have an empty record with no history.

serbia is the successor of yugoslavia because after slovenia, croatia, bosnia and macedonia left, it still kept the name yugoslavia, and then later changed to serbia and montenegro until montenegro also left, since then it's just serbia.. i guess it's the international law, if one country or region leaves another, the country that remains keeps country's records and not just in sport, but place in world organisations also while the "new" country must apply to enter those organisations..
it's fair for me, imagine that catalonia leaves spain and then both teems get a new empty record, and spain loses its world and euro titles in every sport...

Surely Januzaj is eligible. He's eligible for most countries

I see, well the way I understood it was that Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia and Macedonia left Yugoslavia, so that Yugoslavia which consisted of Serbia and Montengro deserved to keep the record. It's just the creation of the states of Serbia and Montenegro that confused me, as I thought it was the result of a split and not that Montenegro had left.

They were even better in basketball, very nice story between a serbian player and croatian player.

So, if Catalonia leaves Spain... :lol:

[ ] It's not the same.

[ ] There were only 6 catalan players in the final, it means 6/14. :lol:

[ ] Spain will be Spain and Catalunya will be a new country. :lol:

I know your answer.

Good post by Mill
That team would have Subotic too so Ivanovic could be RB.

Too bad that region is a dumpsterfire of conflict
