Zvezda’s Group C, fondly known in Serbian as “the group of death” was a bit too much on their first run at the Champions League in 25 years. As per expected, PSG got a clear 4:1 win in Belgrade.

Moj optimizam za plasman se dovoljno ogleda u činjenici da sam ovaj uvod počela da pišem sinoć, oko sedam. Dosadašnji tok kvalifikacija mi je dozvolio takav luksuz.

Bićemo realni i reći da sam do deset planirala i alternativni nacrt.

It really happened! Through teamwork and the amazing goal by Aleksandar Kolarov, Serbia won their initial game of the World Cup!

Iniesta dobija loptu. Prelazi Marsela, pa Ramosa; u savršenoj je poziciji na ivici šesnaesterca. Šutira i… Gol! Od naredne sezone, ovakvih scena više neće biti u Barseloni.
