@GunmaN1905I've talked before WC began we're in for a ****show (all that internal fighting over who'll take over our knees-deep-in-corruption FA). I hoped for the best but it ended exactly how I thought it would. Talent is there, obviously but we aren't mentally prepared. You've said it as it is, I agree word for word with your post.
Except for that thing about genetics. I don't think people from our nations anyhow different or more capable than anyone else. It's just that we've been going through some **** for as long as I can remember. Wars, poverty, sanctions, ******, corrupt, shameless governments. Take your average Englishman, drop him in today's Serbia and he'll go mad within a week in our little slice of hell. Having to listen to Vucic's self sacrificing monologues 24/7, been bombarded with all kind of crap, imaginary wars with Croatia, Bosnia, Kosovo (this one is actual right now), having to live on 300-400 euros per month... That kind of **** pushes a person to chase a success in life by any means possible. And sports are basically the easiest way out of this hellhole. It's no wonder Balkan had some of the highest immigration rates in Europe.
