Now that the dust has settled what went wrong with croatian football?
widening wealth gap resulting in the death of the middle class is inevitable in all capitalistic systems and societies
>>144510641this but unironically
>>144510641oh yeah it's totally le heckin capitalism that did it, not the corruption
>>144510641TruthMonopoly is inevitable in every section of society
>>144510618Nothing happens, club football is set up so that it works in favor of big and rich countries. In international football, which requires 11 players of one nationality and in which you cannot buy players, Croatia is competitive and even has a positive ratio against Germany in official matches (2:1 for Croatia).
>>144510618This is why serbia is naturally superior, too much strength and pride to be cucked like this
Why didn't Croatia send Hajduk instead?
>>144510641What the fuck does this even have to do with Croatian football?
>>144511605The difference between Croatia and Serbia in football is similar to the difference between England and Ireland.
>>144511622Because they are even worse. Also countries don't choose which club goes to UCL
>>144511511>the corruptionAnd what do you think caused that?
>>144512100Certain (((people)))
All their good players got bought by foreigner clubs. You can thank the anon who makes the /Croatian talents/ threads for that.
>>144511629clubs that used to be able to compete no longer can due to being priced out of the market
>>144511511they are one and the samethe correct term to use is actually "human nature"
>>144511640you mean both are shit?
>>144512312Adapt or perish, simple principle of the open market. Would you rather see top football being played every night or look at le plucky underdogs (funded by mafia money btw) scrape together gay penalty wins against actually good opposition
>>144510641In this case, the important concept is a somewhat controversial subset of capitalism, specifically FREE MOVEMENT OF LABOR.Outside of athletics this is known as "brain drain" (or "human capital flight" if you're a faggot academic.)There's also the cultural and demographic impact, the latter of which is largely irrelevant in sports due to the relatively tiny number of players.
>>144513163(((human))) nature
>>144512126>>144515012Hey, Mario: not all human people. All except the foreskin, anyway.
>>144511720>countries don't choose which club goes to UCLWtf, is that true?
>>144515068Complete nonsense, try using a verb next time
