Coach: Ice-T

Hello Coach! Would you shortly present yourself to the community?
I'm Ice-T, the best user from Moldova here in Sokker.

Can you share with us your greatest moment/match as NT-coach so far?
Germany-Hungary, the last WC Final. If we talk about prestige, yet it was an awful ending with a bug(same player shot 3 penlaties in the shoot-out).

Personally I consider Schweiz-Deutschland, the semi-final match the best match so far. Though I had a small "collection" of great matches played.

What’s your biggest strength as a coach?
His mental skills. And by that I mean: flexibility, adaptability, creativity, sportsmanship and how he behaves under pressure.

Do you have a favourite player in your NT squad?
It was Mauser, but this legend is too old yet not bad(skill-wise). But if I have to choose from the current squad, I am thinking either Gallesdorfer or Haupt(even though he didn't play most of time, due to tragic form).

What do you think about your opponents in the group? Who will go through?
That's the second toughest group after B, you can say that group A and B are the strongest one in this edition.

Of course I do want to go through, but it will be very hard, I mean : Romania- ex-World Champ, with one of the toughest coaches, Serbia- once again I meet'em and with the same coach, but now I feel we will have a different battle, which will be tougher. And Sweden- ex-finalist who gave Romania a hard time in the final. This team despite having a disadvantage in player skills, has a great coach. So Anyone here can go through.

What is your goal at this World Cup?
Last time I ended up with the Silver Medal, and I felt robbed by the way the match went. So now I want to get the Gold, even though it will be much tougher as I feel the squad isn't as good as it was last time.

Which team will win the World Cup?
After answering last question it will be stupid to say any other team than Deutschland ;)

Which team do you think has the greatest potential to sursprise in this edition?
Moldova

Any words you want to tell the community?
I would like mostly to address to German Community and thank them for being patient and having faith in my skills. This is the 3rd season here and I am glad to get this chance again at World Cup.

I hope this World Cup will be very entertaining and with no controversial Finals this time.

My sokker nick is Kobra79, I'm 34 yo sokker addicted maniac ... :)

Can you share with us your greatest moment/match as NT-coach so far?
Best moment/match so far is victory against Holland in previous world cup, because, passing through to the 1/4 finals is the best result for the Srbija 'til now.

What’s your biggest strength as a coach?

That is patient, for sure! I can spend 3 hours making single tactic, and as a result, I get 99% accuracy from what I expected. It's only important to set the right tactic! :)

Do you have a favourite player in your NT squad?
My favorite NT player is Branko Nikolić, and from recently Cane Smiljanić

What do you think about your opponents in the group? Who will go through?
Our group is really hard one. Actually, if you are looking "hardness level", our group is in 2nd place, only one harder than ours is group B. Romania and Germany are the favorites, but I'm sure that I'll manage to surprise one of those two. Let's say that Romania and Serbia are going trough!

What is your goal at this World Cup?
Our primary goal is to go trough the group stage, because, as I said before, it's the really tough one! If that happens, anything is possible, we could go further, but I would like to see Srbija in the semi's! That is my wish! :)

Which team will win the World Cup?
Swiss are my favs! Great team and excellent coach, actually defending champion - pAKoSTevE!

Which team do you think has the greatest potential to sursprise in this edition?
Srbija of course :)

I have been playing sokker since 2005, can´t remember how many seasons i have been leading Sweden but at least 10. I have also some seasons as manager for Island.

Can you share with us your greatest moment/match as NT-coach so far?
My biggest success nust ahve been when we played the WC Final against Romania, lost with 1 goal... You can take a look at the size of Sweden and imagine how many star players we have ;D

What’s your biggest strength as a coach?
I think i am quiet experienced, have some know how in tactics and can choose the best player for each position.

Do you have a favourite player in your NT squad?
Not really, every player counts but Strindberg is a player that you should keep an extra eye on.

What do you think about your opponents in the group? Who will go through?
Very tough group... nice and experienced managers of course. Germany is the big favourite, big sokker country with loads of playser to chose from, you can´t miss the Final with those players... i hope that we can join them :D

What is your goal at this World Cup?
Giving our opponents a hard time beating us... and hopefully win some matches.

Which team will win the World Cup?
Italy should win, great team with great manager.

Which team do you think has the greatest potential to sursprise in this edition?

Coach: borkos007

Hello Coach! Would you shortly present yourself to the community?
Well...my nickname is borkos007, many users will probably know me due to my tendency to brag and spam. ;)
Italy is my 6th National Team, after Australia, Eesti, Belgium, Poland and Poland u21. When I won the World Cup and World Cup u21 I've decided that now I must win the World Cup with Italy and I will be 100% fulfilled with National Teams. So I am here. ;)

Can you share with us your greatest moment/match as NT-coach so far?
There have been so many that I can't really decided. I loved my u21 World Cup with Poland. I was also very emotional when leading Australia as my first NT ever, I will always remember this time very warm :). I was also very honoured when I have won the elections in Italy as first foreign coach.

What’s your biggest strength as a coach?
Impredictability, I think. I never know myself what tactic I will use, I make decisions a couple of hours before the game, often changing things even 5 minutes before start of the game :p.

Do you have a favourite player in your NT squad?
I like many players in the team, but my favourite two are Innocenzo Dimita and Quintilio Bianco :).

What do you think about your opponents in the group? Who will go through?
No fu***ing idea :p.
3 top level teams with good coaches. Funny thing is that there are 3 Polish coaches at World Cup and all of them ended in the same group.
Poland is of course the strongest one on paper, but Eesti has some amazing players as well. Nederland is no weak team as well, they have a similar team to Italy, at least wage-wise.

In the last season I have beaten Poland 4:1 and Nederland 3:1, so I have high hopes. :p

What is your goal at this World Cup?
The title.

Which team will win the World Cup?
Italy :).

Which team do you think has the greatest potential to sursprise in this edition?
I have three such teams in my mind - Chile, Norway and Hungary. First one has one of the strongest teams in the world, Norway has a great coach who knows how to make the team work perfectly and Hungary...they always had amazing u21 teams, so I guess that they should have a top level squad in the senior team now :).

Any words you want to tell the community?
I hope that we will see a nice World Cup with many entertaining games and I hope that no games will be decided by random sokker engine...

Hi, i'm Bart.. 21y old sokker maniac who study IT. I'm Real Madrid supporter and sokker spammer:))

Can you share with us your greatest moment/match as NT-coach so far?
There were many great games but i don't want to share all, probably you don't have time for reading it also :D:D
the best which I rembember are:
South Africa 2-1 England in World Cup Qualifications, Poland 9-0 Nederland in World Cup Group, Poland 12-1 Germany..
and of course my two seasons in Canada - that was my favourite moment, probably also the luckiest :) but people can remember only the worst games:/

What’s your biggest strength as a coach?
It should be write by other users.. i don't know ;) Improvisation? Unluck?:D

Do you have a favourite player in your NT squad?
Yes of course:) Ferry Hese, Ivar van Dijk and Benjamin Bennebroek. They can play in all NT and all managers would like to have them in their squads. They are also universal and probably it's the reason why i really like them. Of course they are key for Nederland, van Dijks' goals were the most important on last season;))

What do you think about your opponents in the group? Who will go through?
I have probably the strongest possible opponents in group. Polska, Italia and Eesti are favorites to win World Cup. I played against them, I know their coach, also some their players... and it will be hard to beat them.
They have stronger players, and in my opinion they have also more great players than Nederland. But i believe we'll be a dark horse in this group :>

What is your goal at this World Cup?
My goal is playing good games in group. I will play against three best countries in ranking... I'll try to be first on second in group. It's not impossible, with some luck.. why not? If we qualify from the group then everything can happen.. I hope :D

Which team will win the World Cup?
It's hard to say.. three great teams are in my group and all of them can win WC.

The list will be long : Polska, Italia, Eesti, Romania, Deutschland, Chile, Brasil, Schweiz, België and... Nederland?:D why not:)

Which team do you think has the greatest potential to sursprise in this edition?
I hope Nederland but i'm sure that Chile will be a suprise and win at least a medal.

Coach: Bartucha

Hello Coach! Would you shortly present yourself to the community?
Hello! My name is Bartek. I am 29 years old, playing in the SK since 2006. I am currently in the second league Polish. In the previous season I worked also in NT Poland, previously I worked in the NT Ireland. As You can see, the work with NT I started quite late for my internship game;)

Can you share with us your greatest moment/match as NT-coach so far?
The best moment hmmm? World Cup ahead of us - I hope that the best time is waiting for me in 16/03/2013;) But seriously;) I think it was qualify to the World Cup Finals with Ireland. I did it a first time in the history in Ireland (from 40 places in the ranking!). It was a great work! It gave me a more satisfaction. Certainly I remember this match: CLICK. I controlled this match from the beginning, I had an advantage, winning by far, and then ... and then engine showed its strength;) It was a crazy game! ;) But I managed to win it, ending the match in 7!
Certainly a great thing for me is work in Poland. I think it's a dream for everyone to be able to work in Your country. I feel proud that I can be a coach Poland NT. It's certainly very demanding but also very motivating.

What’s your biggest strength as a coach?
I think it's the tactics, but the new engine is unpredictable. Tactics is certainly a lot less important than before. Now you have to have a lot of luck.
I'm involved in what I do. We'll see how much is enough to fight against my rivals in the World Cup.

Do you have a favourite player in your NT squad?
Yes. It is a striker Daukszewicz. Unfortunately, he's an injury... so he's out of World Cup, at least in the group stage. This is certainly a great loss, although the lack of players in the PL I can not complain, however, Daukszewicz 'doing difference'. I will have to cope without him. Btw - for boys (Brokus, Borkos) this injury is certainly not sad message;)

What do you think about your opponents in the group? Who will go through?
This is the group of death. Unpredictable Netherlands and the first three teams in rank. We joked with Polish trainers Netherlands and Italy, that we will get to one group and... and we got:P to joined strong Estii and we have a terrible group. I hope to qualify Poland to the PO. Otherwise, I have no reason to return to the country;) I am aware, however, that it will be extremely difficult task. We need take a lot of luck, a lot ;) However, I think Poland and Italy qualify to round PO, but absolutely any solution in this group is possible.

What is your goal at this World Cup?
Semi-finals would be a success for me. Of course, everyone dreams of the World Cup, I am too. However, I realize that the level of NT is very equalized. You really anyone can beat anyone. I can not imagine that I was eliminated in the group stage. It was by my defeat, but like I said - we are a insanely difficult group. Probably never been a stronger group at the World Cup.

Which team will win the World Cup?
I would like it was a Poland;) But if I had to bet money, I think that at this time the Italians are very strong and well prepared for the tournament. For me it's favorite no 1 to the gold. We'll see is confirmed if the class in the World Cup Finals.

Which team do you think has the greatest potential to sursprise in this edition?
Chile. It is incredibly strong and solid team, led by a very good coach. It seems to me that they could make a surprise at the World Cup Finals.

Any words you want to tell the community?
I invite You all to watch the World Cup matches! It promises to be a very interesting tournament. I think will be a lot of unexpected results. I hope that Poland will not disappoint and will make a lot of fun his countrymen:) Let's go Poland!:)

I’m already a few years in Sokker and I still like it. I’m 43, proud dad and come from Switzerland, somewhere near Basel
In Sokker Switzerland, I was in the Nationalliga A (highest league) and at the moment, I play in the Nationalliga B. I was already cup winner, U21-coach and NT coach of Switzerland, where I got to the semifinals oft he World Cup. Now I’m coach of Austria and qualified for this World Cup.

Can you share with us your greatest moment/match as NT-coach so far?
The victory against Poland in the last World Cup was a highlight.

What’s your biggest strength as a coach?
Strengths? ;-) I think my tactics work and I can adapt them to the opponents. If the players are strong enough, then everything is possible.

Do you have a favourite player in your NT squad?
I think Austria’s Brandschutz is awesome, I’ve never seen such a complete player before. Hope he doesn’t get injured

What do you think about your opponents in the group? Who will go through?
All the teams in the group are strong. Suomi the most, but also Greece and Columbia are good. Everything is possible. Who qualifies? I hope we do.

What is your goal at this World Cup?
Getting through the group stage, then we’ll have a look again. Step by step.

Which team will win the World Cup?
There are so many strong teams. The top is getting closer and closer. Basically every team can win. But there are several factors which play a role.. injuries, form, cards.. for smaller nations. Bigger nations suffer less of these issues, there it’s more a questions of tactics. Then a „small“ can win too, you have to take every opponent serious

Which team do you think has the greatest potential to sursprise in this edition?
As I said, every team has an opportunity, however the chances are not the same of course. But possible is everything.

My greatest moment as Nt coach is when Hellas won Belgium in the previous Qwc and passed to finals of Wc for the first time in history of sokker.Im very happy that i am the one that made Hellas community of sokker so happy for this.

What’s your biggest strength as a coach?
My biggest strength as coach is that other opponnent's coaches afraid of me because they know that even with lower level skilled players im very tough and Hellas is strong oppopent.Also im using diferent tactics every time,all the time and strange tactics and i can imagine..what my oppopent..think about the game..

What is your goal at this World Cup?
Everytime longer and longer..! Previous time we passed to finals from Qwc but at the group of Wc finals we were unlucky..with our best players injured and a lot of bad forms so we didnt passed to next round.So..that time i think we are better and we want to pass to next round firrstly and take one place from group!

Can you share with us your greatest moment/match as NT-coach so far?
Colombia - Italia 4:2 - It was only a friendly match, but beating your own country with a weaker team is always something pleasure.

What’s your biggest strength as a coach?
I believe that Italian school of sokker is one of the most renowned in the whole world. Our community is always a source of discussions for what concern tactical aspects. So that could be an advantage. Anyway I can't hide that I wouldn't be anything without my heart.

Do you have a favourite player in your NT squad?
Of course. Juan Esteban Trespalacios. He was in the first 11 already 4 seasons ago, when he was 25. You can only imagine how strong he can be.

What do you think about your opponents in the group? Who will go through?
I think that is a very balanced group. Everyone can beat everyone else. Qualifying as second in the past round I can't say we've been unlucky. I believe that Colombia and Österreich will go through.

What is your goal at this World Cup?
Once passed the Group stage , with the single match everything can happen thanks to this ME. I'm not that kind of man that set limit to his expectations

Hello! I'm David, from Hungary, I'm 20 and study economies at our capital, Budapest.

Huh, it's hard to decide. The most memorable is maybe my WC match againts Eesti when we finished the match with 3 red cards, but we weren't so bad even with 9 players on the field. My greatest could be the first WC match, or the U21 WC group stage withot any goal against us. But these were ages ago.

What’s your biggest strength as a coach?
I think the most of the coaches will answer that tactics or experience, but without these you can't be a coach of a WC-team. I think my strenght is the community, I allways get constructive vomments after important matches, and this help me to be better. Thank you!

Do you have a favourite player in your NT squad?
I used to have when I was coach for first time (in 2009), but now I don't. I love all of my players.

Can you share with us your greatest moment/match as NT-coach so far?
I`v started really bad as national coach the previos coach resigned from the
game unexpetedly and i was catched off guard. I lost from Ireland 3:6 in my first game
for that reason the two wins against Ireland were very exciting for me. I think my best
game as national trainer is in the future :)

What’s your biggest strength as a coach?
My bigest strength is my community my scouts and my advisors and all of those
teams from all countries that training hard Bulgarian players.

Do you have a favourite player in your NT squad?
No the sokker players should be pure numbers for the trainer, but in my personal
team i have :)

What do you think about your opponents in the group? Who will go through?
All the teams are strong and it will be tough. For me personaly Belgium
will win the group we have to do our best to reach the secon place and i hope
Bulgaria will do taht.

What is your goal at this World Cup?
I will play game per game and will se how it goes. For evry team the target
should be the Word Cup. But the realitiy is different.probably 1/4 final.

Which team will win the World Cup?
Italy or Netherland but Poland is always the favourite.

Which team do you think has the greatest potential to sursprise in this edition?
Hope Bulgaria :)

Any words you want to tell the community?
Even if you lose bad do not give up sokker is amazing game and you should keep going.

Coach: Cureghem01

Hello Coach! Would you shortly present yourself to the community?
Sure. Well, I am 38 years old, I'm an engineer and I live in Brussels.
I've initiated into Sokker by a old friend who was actually the first non-polish WC winner who has unfortunately left the game now. (I let you find out ;))

Can you share with us your greatest moment/match as NT-coach so far?
Well, before being a NT coach, I've spent 13 seasons as tactical advisor for multiple national teams, NT or U21: Denmark, Sweden, Italy, Colombia,...
There were plenty of good moments but the one that really counted was the very first qualifying game against Croatia: everybody was looking at me and pressure was so high.
We finally drew but the victory was, according to the community well deserved.

What’s your biggest strength as a coach?
I think that my analytical skills, which are regularly recognized in my day-to-day job, are also a plus for a game.
The disadvantage is that I often go too much into details in trying to understand the motor engine instead of enjoying the game :))

Do you have a favourite player in your NT squad?
Well, we do have a couple of interesting players but if I have to mention only one, I would talk about the one with the best prospect: Sempels, our goalie; at the age of 23 he was already the NT goalkeeper, double 18 and has the potential to be very soon 3x18. He's 24 and has already 23 caps. He got unfortunately very recently injured and will miss most of the WC.

What do you think about your opponents in the group? Who will go through?

I think Turkey is the favourite and the other 3 teams can compete with each other.

What is your goal at this World Cup?
Just to play with honors; whether we win or lose, even though very important, is also determined by other factors outside of our control.
I just want peoplke to say: we played well in every game.

Which team will win the World Cup?
As everybody says, Germany and Italy have good chances.

Which team do you think has the greatest potential to sursprise in this edition?
Chile probably.

Any words you want to tell the community?
Sure: the most important thing is to remember that it is JUST a game. I often see bad reactions that I don't like, disputes, even insults...
I don't think it is the right spirit to be part of a game like Sokker, because it is not just a game... it is a fantastic community! :)

I'm Sebastien, mathematic Teacher in a college between Amiens and Paris (my wife too). I have no children, and play tennis in competition.

Can you share with us your greatest moment/match as NT-coach so far?
The first match of the season (qualification WC) was very important for me. We had a crash with our database, and the opponent was favorite in the group (Nederland). France won 3-0, and I was very happy to come back in France for the managers.

The U26 match against Hellas (friendly) was a symbol of me : all the choosen players were french team players.

I'm proud of our last match too : 5-1 against Eesti !

What’s your biggest strength as a coach?
I hope (and I think) that with the communication I've made in french forum some french managers retrieve the desire of follow nt team and training french players. I'm very happy with this.

Do you have a favourite player in your NT squad?
Stuttler, he's a future star of the french squad. Pertuisot is one of our best striker, and he's in my private team. (On sale after WC ;) )

What do you think about your opponents in the group? Who will go through?

The ranking of Espana and France put them favorites, but in WC all squad can make surprise on one match in group match.

What is your goal at this World Cup?
In election, I've said that my goal is to go in 1/8 final. But with the good results I had with frenc NT during the season, the french community expect me to go in 1/4 final ! I have the pressure ...

Which team will win the World Cup?
Not Eesti ;) ... Chile ? Perhaps ..

Which team do you think has the greatest potential to sursprise in this edition?
No Idea. I'm not follow the international matches for being able to put an analysis. I wish success at Belgium, our friends.

Any words you want to tell the community?
It's a very good adventure to be NT coach. I thank the french community for giving me his confidence. I just hope that NT will interest more managers around the world.

Well I think it is my tatics, although I still need to learn a lot with the greatest tactitans around the world. So, I'll watch other great macthes a lot to try to get the best from the relation players/engine.

Do you have a favourite player in your NT squad?
Dair Marquinhos I guess, but with his injurie, I'll have to find another one. Hm... can be 2? Zenilton Tiberino on defense and Amauri Martins Dinelli on attack! :)

What do you think about your opponents in the group? Who will go through?
I really hope we go through. Albânia has the weakest squad, but if they catched a place here, they also have conditions to go next round. Norge and England are very strong opponents... don't know wich is better at this moment. But answering the question, Brazil and England! :)

What is your goal at this World Cup?
Well, in WC there aren't easy matches. There are only opponents between good and excelent. So, all teams can defeat you if you don't set the tatic in a good way. Going through the next round would be very important to the brazilian comunity. But we brazilian users want a lot more, off course. The brazilians are expecting a lot because of my great history in Brazil.

Advancing from group stages in the World Cup a few seasons back along with Suomi, knocking out both Italy and Eesti then 2 & 3 ranked team.

What’s your biggest strength as a coach?
I have a lot of experience as NT coach. During this time, I’ve learnt lot about different tactical approaches of my opponents and tried lot of different tactics myself.

Do you have a favourite player in your NT squad?
Jacob Blue will most certain become Englands best player ever, so I say he is a favourite. As time goes by though single players are less and less important as the quality of top NT squads are sky high.

What do you think about your opponents in the group? Who will go through?
England & Norway. All opponents are a handful, Brasil always have a lot of top quality players and experienced coach, Albania weakest team on paper, awesome coach tactically. Norway, top coach and top class players like Oskar Kvaale, Håkon Løset and Gaute Løvlie to name a few. Obviously I know the Norwegian players well ;)

What is your goal at this World Cup?
It`s all about winning it right? I think that the dream of every Coach is to win the WC. Would be fantastic to get through the group stages, anything can happen after that. We could get three losses but with some luck I think we can go through.

Surely the 5:5 against later champion Eesti when I played the World Cup with Switzerland. Incredibly exciting game. Sadly I still failed to pass the group stage.

What’s your biggest strength as a coach?
Really don’t know.. perhaps I could argue that I managed to adapt to the new engine rather quickly. But in the meanwhile I think everybody has made his experiences, otherwise he wouldn’t have made it to the World Cup.

Do you have a favourite player in your NT squad?
Mostly changes from week to week. ;) But I guess Shkëlzen Vogli stands above all others. He wouldn’t play in most of the other NTs at this WC, but I liked him from the start of my campaign.

What do you think about your opponents in the group? Who will go through?
They are all tough, of course. To be honest I hoped to play against my home country Switzerland, or Austria with a Swiss coach. But I’ll also enjoy playing against Brasil, Norge and England. Although I played twice against Norge when I was Swiss coach and never managed to win. Perhaps it’s revenge time now against Norge and Lorre, who now coaches England? :) Surely a special match for him too.
Brasil is the favourite for me. They had so many underperformances but not this time I think. 2nd place to be decided between Norge and England.. I’ll give Norge the edge.

What is your goal at this World Cup?
Phew, to sell the team as good as possible. And perhaps we can make at least one surprise again?

So many top teams. I think a team from the group of death will make it. I’m going with Italia

my passion, and obsesion is Football, I´m very-very fanatic of Colo Colo, the best chilean team.

well, I remember many moments, but specially the 1st time that Chile won to a Top 10 in the history (2008 against Spain, Top 4 in that moment.)

also I remember when I won the Mini WC with Chile.

the last season, I have many nice moments, 4-1 against Poland, 4-0 against Spain, the 2 matches against Serbia in WCQ...

What’s your biggest strength as a coach?
effectiveness and pragmatism; I can play of any form, tactic, style, with good results.

Do you have a favourite player in your NT squad?
I think the most important thing is the team over any player; but my favourite player is Inocencio Tagle, an DEF-MID very nice in skills, that offers many possibilities and functions, like the best defender of all times Elias Figueroa (in the real life, of course) :)

What do you think about your opponents in the group? Who will go through?

also, Portugal is strong, but in this moment don´t have coach, very unpredictable.

Hello!
Im pAKoSTevE from Hungary! I started to play in the end of 2007, since then i leaded many years the hungarian NTs, and we reached the 3rd position at the U21 WC (best result in Hungary so far), and just won the last World Cup with the adults (obviously the best result too:) ).
My aim in the game now to reach and win the first league, and win the CL :)
The community here a little few, but about 10-15 user reads the NT articles, and interested in the NT, thats the key of the squads force!

Can you share with us your greatest moment/match as NT-coach so far?
I have a clear situation, from last World Cup, when Eesti leaded in the half by 2-0, and we just won at the end by Bodovinszky's goal. I was on vacation with my girlfriend, and this match was extremely awesome, at this point i knew we gonna make that!:)
Other one was in the WC Final, when all the players missed penalties at the end, and our red card was our advantage, and we won!:)
I can mention the match where we lost by U21 guys, Spain guys shoots penalties for empty goal against us, and they missed a shoot...:)

What’s your biggest strength as a coach?
I think i can see the opportunities in the squad i have, and i usually have really great scout system too. Then my tactics turns into luck, then win is guaranteed!:)

Do you have a favourite player in your NT squad?
Right now i have, Toni Jaquet, from Hungary Elemer Bodovinszky (best mid on the world)!

What do you think about your opponents in the group? Who will go through?
I think Chile and Hrvatska has awesome squads, Portugal is a little step behind. They can surprise anybody, but mainly the first 3 will decide, and i think luck and goal difference will decide about the top 2.

What is your goal at this World Cup?
Obviously go as far as last time with Schweiz (top4), or with Hungary (top1) :)

Which team will win the World Cup?
About 8-10 team has great chance to make it, i think the connection between the manager and the squad is the key, thats makes some difference. I think here in Schweiz we have it, but Eesti and Germany has still an awesome team.

Which team do you think has the greatest potential to sursprise in this edition?
I just feel somehow Hungary will be extremly unlucky now, so i hope the will be not, and make a nice surprise again!

I really cant say from angle of NT coach because I m newbie at that level- this is my debut season, but I can say from angle of U21 coach as I was Croatia U21 coach for 8 seasons. My biggest moment was playing in semifinal of World Cup and achieving bronce medal! About most thrilling match- it happened at same World Cup during round of 16 game against Slovakia. Game was in its overtime and we scored in 116 minute winning goal in 4:3 high scoring game to takes us into quater finals.

What’s your biggest strength as a coach?
Attacking part of tactical panel and improvising. Always trying to dominate and creat more chances than opposition. But NT level will take me to making adjustments due great attacking power form opponents. Every time is dangerous nowadays at Sokker :)

Do you have a favourite player in your NT squad?
I m little bit attached to players from my club, but as favourite player I can point out Nediljko Ognjanović from Veli Vrh United team

What do you think about your opponents in the group? Who will go through?
I think that with great managers in pAKoSTevE and Blackend Switzerland and Chile will be tough nuts to crack. Ban, menager of Portugal is also very good manager, I know him from U21 level, but I think that Portugal is little weaker than other teams in group so I reckon that among Chile, Switzerland and Croatia two teams will progress. If I have to pick that would be Switzerland and as I always backing my lads- Croatia.

What is your goal at this World Cup?
Group progress and later we ll see what happens

Which team will win the World Cup?
Italia

Which team do you think has the greatest potential to sursprise in this edition?
Croatia :)

Any words you want to tell the community?
I hope everyone enjoy this tournament no matter if he is NT coach or "ordinary" user, watches lot of games and participating at WC section of International forum so global experience would be greater. We need more involvement and activity at forums. (i would point CC forum as "how thing shouldnt look like")
