That's old hat, we're in Europe now :p

Portugal is slowly creeping up on us ;)
 
Who are the dominant force in Swedish football now? And is any team running Europe?
 
The team had one of the most paper thin suads I have ever seen, No reserve or youth team players at all and a small first team squad few of whom were actually any good. I focused on the first team with reserves and youth to follow next season maybe.

Mikael Jonson
Not the best player i've signed but at this level should do a good job for us.
View attachment 349236

César Pérez
Capped 18 times by Venezuela and should be a rock at this level.
View attachment 349239

Luis Guerra
Should an absolute star at this level! Hopefully my midfield general for years to come.
View attachment 349247

Jacob Svensson
Before I signed Guerra he was going to start, Now he is back up.
View attachment 349250

Vilhjálmur Viktorsson
Amazing for 17 and will hopefully run our left hand side for many moons.
View attachment 349251

Richard Castro
Getting on in years no doubt, But is more than viable for a season or two. Should also offer excellent tuition.
View attachment 349252

Patric Rosell
The best young Swedish striker who was willing to sign for us, I'd like t bring him through slowly but don't have that option. Most likely a starter.
View attachment 349253

Charles Diallo
My main striking threat, i'll be gutted if he doesn't claim top goal scorer!
View attachment 349254

Per Zettergren
First choice right back and Swedish to boot.
View attachment 349255

Hampus Berglund
He will start as back up but can hopefully force his way in before the end of the season.
View attachment 349257

Jens Lindström
A Keeper who has been on my radar for a little while, He will be undisputed first choice and I expect caps will follow next season.
View attachment 349260

So a full team right there, Our pre season got off to a sluggish start. We did only lose to higher league opposition and we ran most of them close.
View attachment 349261

12-1 for promotion, we are aiming to win the league.
View attachment 349263​
 
Half way through the domestic season and we have tasted defeat 3 times, drawn twice and won the rest.

View attachment 349288

We are happily second, A position we can certainly build on. The team is gelling better with every game and first place remains my aim.
View attachment 349289

The Euros fall smack in the middle of the Swedish season, so Serbia updates will be next.​
 
Just 4 friendlies before we got to the Euros, I'll update them in order.

A solid commanding win over Israel, They barley got a look in as we easily beat them 3-0.
View attachment 349291

I'm starting to feel guilty about beating my own country. Not once have England beaten me that I can recall.
4-1 at Wembley and it was all to easy.
View attachment 349292

Kazakhstan are never really much of a test and so it proved when we scored 7 without reply.
View attachment 349293

I'm a bit angry that Moldova scored but the game was already won when they did so no harm done.
View attachment 349294

Here is how the friendlies went.
View attachment 349295

Euros up next.

I'm rather insulted that Turkey are favourites against us! We came into the tournament ranked 3rd in the world for god sake.
View attachment 349296

2-0 and it should of been more, We cruise through our first game.
View attachment 349297

We are favourites against Slovenia.
View attachment 349299

A lot closer than I like, Slovenia rallied but luckily weren't good enough.
View attachment 349300

Italy heavy favourites against us.
View attachment 349306

Jesus christ don't do that to me! At 2-0 down we were out of it at half time, One bollocking later and we win 4-2!
View attachment 349307View attachment 349308

We won our group and won it well in the end.
View attachment 349309

Czech Republic in the next round.
View attachment 349311​
 
The Czechs find themselves favourites against us.
View attachment 349313

The Czechs took the lead then we proceeded to run riot and destroy the early dominance they enjoyed. 4-1 it finished and we deserve our victory.
View attachment 349315View attachment 349314View attachment 349316

One for apvmoreira here, Portugal next. Who are favourites and heavy favourites at that!
View attachment 349317View attachment 349319

I can only appologise profusley appologise....to apvmoreira. 8-0 take that!
View attachment 349320View attachment 349321View attachment 349322View attachment 349323

Holland next who are favourites, they can ask Portugal how that goes.
View attachment 349324View attachment 349325

2-0 and a very tidy result, Holland were nullified at every turn.
View attachment 349326View attachment 349327View attachment 349328View attachment 349329

Italy who we have already beaten in this competition in the final, they are still favourites!
View attachment 349330View attachment 349331

A close game but we won in the end. A quite astounding achievment for Serbia.

A rake of awards and just look at that team of the tournament.

What would everyone like to see with Serbia now? World cup charge or resignation?



​
 
this is the division we will be playing in this year, Now there are a couple of teams we all know. Some pretty good teams in this league so some reinforcements were needed.
View attachment 349677

Here are my transfer dealings. Some of the players moved on aren't even good enough for the reserves so off they went.
View attachment 349696View attachment 349680

Jo Eivind Bjørnebye
One for the future but looks like he has some good potential.
View attachment 349681

Ola Johansson
Signed as backup, in all honest wont see many games at all.
View attachment 349682

Oskar Andersson
I hope for him to fight it out for the starting leftback slot, We will see how he shapes.
View attachment 349683

Pär Larsson
Back up and eventual replacement for Castro, He will get many chances this season to impress.
View attachment 349685

Peter Ögren
Another for the future, My coaches rate him very highly as do I.
View attachment 349688

Roberto Ofori
My markee signing for the season, Corrent Ghana international Ofori should add a reall tough of class to my defence, aswell as him being able to cover centre midfield.
View attachment 349689

Scott Crisford
New Zealand international who I will retrain as a left sided midfielder and hopefully he can campaign there for years to come.
View attachment 349690

Sondre Stock
Signed by the HOYD jury is still out.
View attachment 349691

Franklin Tenorio
Another Costa Rican and he will be starting in central defence for us.
View attachment 349692

Stian Rostille
One for the future, i'll leave him in the youth team for a season and see how he develops.
View attachment 349693

Thomas Stenlund
Even though he doesnt appear very good, he came highly recommended by my scouts. I needed more Swedish players and he is the best one who would come so in he came.
View attachment 349694

Antonio Dionisio
One player signed at the very tail end of last season, Was living it up in La Liga with various clubs and proves to be a real coup for us. Hopefully he can score plenty of goals.
View attachment 349695​
 
Half way through the season and we had started exceptionally well, Towards the end we hit an awful patch of form that saw us lose 3 on the bounce. Hopefully that is behind us now but we lost to our main title rival which cannot be good.
View attachment 349697

We sit in second place, Even though with some better form we would be first, but I can't complain it is our first campaign in this division.
View attachment 349698

The one round we had of the cup last season was apparantly a precurser to this season where the cup starts properly. Here is how our cup run went, The cup starts with a group stage which we managed to win.

Quarter Final
View attachment 349703

Semi Final
View attachment 349704

Final
View attachment 349705

Not bad for mt first effort at the cup, Winning it means that this season we will be in the Europa League, due to when the Swedish season started. Hopefully we can get a favourable draw and see the group stages.
​
 
Our season ending run could of been better, Losing to our main title rivals was not exactly the stuff of dreams.
View attachment 349708

With 29 games gone we are second on goal difference, this means we can still potentially win the league if we beat Malmo by a massive margin.
View attachment 349709

Sadly it wasnt to be, Malmo denying us with an excellent display, our cause not helped by injuries and suspentions.
View attachment 349711View attachment 349710

We did still have the Europa League to look forward to, That couldn't go wrong could it?

2nd Qualifying round
A 6-1 win at home against Debrecen followed by a 1-1 draw was enough to see us through to the next round.
View attachment 349713View attachment 349714

3rd Qualifying round
We battled hard against Newcastle but a 3-2 loss followed by 3-3 draw saw us leaving the competition after a valiant effort.
View attachment 349715View attachment 349716​
 
Something I hadn't even realised until I was asked to pick a squad was that Serbia qualified for the Confederations cup! It would be a good marker for the world cup if we could win this.

confederations-cup-trophy.jpg


We dismantled my old team Paraguay 3-0, I'd wager i'm not there hero anymore!
View attachment 349720

We just about scraped past South Korea 2-1 even though we should of scored about 6!
View attachment 349721

New Zealand were then crushed 4-0 with no trouble at all.
View attachment 349722

This sees us top our group and easily qualify for the semi final
View attachment 349723

In the semi final we just about got by France by kicking lumps out of them!
View attachment 349724

Germany in the final is a game we should of won, After having 20 shots on target we somehow managed to lose on penalties!
View attachment 349725

I've sent my scouting network out now to see if I can find some players eligigle for Serbia who can improve us!​
 
World Cup qualification is over, we were looking to make a real statment of intent in a group that contained whipping boys Andorra!

We opened against Andorra and thumped them 10-0
View attachment 349726

By comparisons a small 2-0 win over Romania
View attachment 349727

A huge morale boosting 7-0 away victory over rivals Croatia.
View attachment 349728

2-0 against Georgia and we're going well.
View attachment 349729

Ireland were duly thumped 6-0, Far more than I expected to score but I certainly wasn't complaining.
View attachment 349730

Another collossal scoreline against Andorra this time 1 better 11-0.
View attachment 349732

3-1 against Romania and thewy become the first team to score against us during this campaign.
View attachment 349734

They're all at it this scoring against us! still we scored 6 against Ireland again.
View attachment 349730

Not as emphatic as last time against Croatia but 3-1 still works for me.
View attachment 349736

Last but by no means least 6-1 against Georgia to round off the qualification campaign.
View attachment 349738

That is 10 games played and won 56 scored and only 4 conceeded, We should be favourites for the world cup after that!
View attachment 349739

We have also won all our friendlies during this campaign.
View attachment 349742View attachment 349743View attachment 349744View attachment 349745

The world cup groupd have not been drawn as of yet, but I don't fear any of the other teams. I have a real world class outfit here bring on the big boys!

The Swedish season stopped for the world cup, unlike the Euros! This meant I wasn't even half way through the season before the world cup was upon us. So as a result I will update the world cup first.

worldcup_forweb.jpg


Up first were Peru and we are rightly favourites.
View attachment 349992

4-0 it was and it was all far to easy.
View attachment 349995

My former team the USA are somehow favourites against us, god knows how but they just aren't the same team now as when I had them.
View attachment 349997

Same team or not they put up a **** good fight, We just squeezed past 2-1.
View attachment 349998

Final group game against Poland and we are again favourites.
View attachment 349999

Poland had two shots on target and scored them both! Some shocking defending on our part and i'll be looking to knock that out before the next round. Regardless we scored 4 and finish with maximum points.
View attachment 350000

Top of the group, but on another day it could of all been so different, i have really dropped the ball and I have no back up for left back. A complete oversight on my part and I didn't even realised until the Poland game, if our left back gets crocked we are screwed!

Chile in the next round.
