When it comes to Serbian water polo, there are no ups and downs. As that one song said, “The only way is up”, and once reached the podium, there is no stepping down, just getting another gold. When I said podium, I was (obviously) referring to the first place. Because that is how good they are. It does seem that when the Dolphins are playing big tournaments, the only thing you have to do is check the final score.

An easy win over Puerto Rico made sure Serbia got their place in the 2016 Olympics. After the final match, the score of 108:77 spoke volumes about the capacity of Serbia’s new generation, who will take part at the Games for the first time, representing their country as an independent state.

Nakon spekulacija javnosti, otkaza i neslaganja, srpski selektor Aleksandar Đorđević, odredio je finalni spisak za predstojeći OKT koji se igra u Areni od ponedeljka.

Na, narodski rečeno Olimpijskom kvalifikacionom turniru, predstavljaće nas sledećih dvanaest: Teodosić, Jović, Simonović, Bogdanović, Nedović, Kalinić, Marković, Dangubić, Birčević, Raduljica, Jokić i Štimac.

Ovakav spisak podrazumeva i da su ,,skraćeni” Marko Gudurić i Rade Zagorac, što predstavlja svojevrsni upitnik na pomenuti konačni spisak igrača koji će se biti na programu između četvrtog i devetog jula. Pobednik dobija vizu za Rio.

Rezultati srpskih sportista, u stanju su da obraduju i učine ponosnim gotovo svakog, ali odavno je poznato da fudbaleri Nacionalne A-selekcije u tu kategoriju ne spadaju. S druge strane, mlade nade našeg fudbala ovu tradiciju pobijaju, na radost napaćenih ljubitelja fudbala u Srbiji.

Last night, New Zealand became rugby World champion, while fans of sport across the globe have gotten themselves another sweetheart. Sonny Williams, the tall, strong and tattooed pivot of New Zealand’s National Team has also become a hero off the playing field.

In a match that was full of political tensions, more than anything else, Serbia won their second leg match against Albania, at the Elbasan city stadium. The uneventful 90 minutes were suddenly brought to life after two quick goals during stoppage time. Serbia’s goal, during the first half of the duel (31′) was annulled, due to what was estimated as a strong contact between the Albanian keeper, and Serbia’s Zoran Tošić.

As the second half of this Euro 2016 qualifying match was lagging to a close, a beautiful pairing between Adem Ljajić and Aleksandar Kolarov, resulted in the first official goal of the night. Kolarov made sure the ball shook the net, from his left side, to the lower right hand corner. All of this, in the 91. minute.

As the home crowd was losing the energy to support their team, Ljajić is facing Berisha alone. His seamless lob shot, ended up right where it was supposed to. A total of two goals to null, as the stadium, mostly filled by the home fans was completely silenced.

The few Serbian fans that did make it to the Elbasan stadium were ecstatic, while the players ran up to them, to celebrate this moral and athletic win.

A victory in an occasion that was a lot more than just a game.
