Arkan was part owner of one of those clubs over there and yes, it draws all sorts out. I remember watching a World Cup Yugoslavia was in, I think they were pretty good and their fans had a banner that said “Red Star Army” or something.

The top league of Yugoslavia, they are probably like Israel and other countries where the name of the club indeed does tell you something about the history.

Partizan remains a top club.

Ireland drew Germany, Eire, Republic of Ireland’s John O’Shea in his 100th international appearance scored late in the game to tie it up.

This has been an exciting round of internationals all the way around.

Yesterday, Iceland of all people defeated Netherlands. Iceland has been up and coming but obviously, a big upset. 2-0.

Remember, Enver Hoxha built these all over the country....

Because he was so paranoid of being invaded by Yugoslavia.
