Good Work W.H., your Dark Horse theory could be proven correct, given the squad they have, they could also be in contention for highest yellow and red card count given some of the personalities involved

Superb debut WHW, really interesting stuff. Did you watch the episode of Frontline Football featuring Serbia? Arkan and all the usual suspects featured heavily.

Nice one, I knew about Kezman and Vidic but I didn't know some of those others played for them too.

Their group is very tough but you may be right about sneaking draws.

Arkan built himself the kitschiest (sp?) house you could ever imagine right next to the Crvena Zvezda (Red Star Belgrade) stadium. It had a fantastic view of the pitch. Until the stadium authorities decided to build a roof over that part of the stadium. Valuing their life, the stadium authorities conveniently waited until Arkan had been assassinated before going ahead with their view-blocking roof. Arkan's widow, Ceca - a big turbofolk star - a hugely popular genre of musice in Serbia - I don't know why, it's fecking awful - still lives in the house. Along, it appears, with several thousand scary-looking "security personnel", who approach and follow you, should you spend more than a minute or two outside.

Excellent read.

Watch out for the YugoBabes though. I know someone who married one - months later they were divorced - she got a passport and I assume he lost the odd shirt. Still, she was a bit of a looker.
