Guys, what's up with karma and Dinamo Zagreb? I don't know enough about Croatia football, so can you tell us more about their sins? Is it something related with shady things that Mamic was doing?
Yep, exactly. Mamic basically controlled the football association, sold his players through the national team and destroyed all other clubs that stood in his way. He even managed to put Lokomotiva, Dinamo's feeder club into First division claiming they are 2 separate clubs which we all know they are not so you have the weirdest situation ever where in the same league you have let's say Chelsea and Chelsea U23 teams. And yea, they play each other. For points
I can understand the frustration with Mamic, but Dinamo is a symbol of Croatian football and its history surpasses Mamic by far. It is regionally a huge club and I am glad they are getting rid of Mamic (he cannot enter Croatia anymore but still has a ton of influence there) and getting back on track. This win would have been huge for that and I am really sorry they did not get it.
first of all, sorry for the offtopic, but I have to add this:
not only Mamic,
Davor Suker, the head of CFF is corrupted more than Platini...
The story with Lokomotiva made me such a good money betting on 1/2 or 2/1 HT/FT, cause years earlier, their Head-to-Head was a sure bet to catch odds like @25 up to @30, also the X/2 or X/1 (depending on Dinamo Home or Away to win in the second half)
Now in the 1.HNL we have 10 teams, 4 of them almost from the same city (area)
The referees are mostly from the central/continental Croatia, the one from Rijeka is a Dinamo supporter, so we can't count on him for a decentralization
I've prepared a graphic explanation of the Cro league with the connections, you will understand
