Majstor. Gospodin. Stručnjak. 

jesi boys istina,kako ja volim priznati svoju grešku,kako sam griješio a hvala i neka jesam kad sam davnih dana stavil i Ivankovića i Štimca ispred Slavena od onih ponuđenih,ali začas sam shvatil kaj smo dobili

Uspješnost hrvatskih izbornika po ''osvojenim bodovima''

                                        Utakmica             Bodova

1. Miroslav Blažević              71                    123

4. Otto Barić                            23                     38

5. Mirko Jozić                          18                      33

Uspješnost hrvatskih izbornika po ''postotku bodova''

                                         Bodova                  Postotak

1. Slaven Bilić                    55                          79,7%

2. Mirko Jozić                     33                           61%

3. Miroslav Blažević          123                         58%

4. Otto Barić                        38                           55%

5. Zlatko Kranjčar               41                          54,7%

Bilić je napravio bolji rezultat u skupini nego što je Ćiro ikad uspio, i pobijedio je s rezervama, što također Ćiri nije pošlo za rukom...i još je osvojio više bodova na velikim natjecanjim nego zadnja tri izbornika zajedno.
Kad sve to zbrojimo, jasno je da Bilić mora otići, jer mi nismo navikli na pobjede, hoćemo remije i poraze

Evo malo hvale za Bilica sa CNN-ove stranice sportske - odnosno Sports Illustrated:

Al prvo fotka uz isti clanak - napusenog Modrica i Bilica Definitivno se ''osjeca trava'' na treningu. Nisu Nizozemci jedini. Vidi se tko ce se nac u finalu...

The masterminds behind the Euros

ASEL, Switzerland -- Eight days in and there's plenty of interesting stuff to admire at this European Championship. What struck me most was the tactical diversity on display. In fact, while the quality of the play has been roughly on par with expectations, the coaching has, in my opinion, surpassed them. There really are managers doing new and interesting things.

Slaven Bilic's Croatia is a case study in creating a system to suit the players. Bilic doesn't have a large pool of talent to choose from, he has to play his Best XI and, if it means guys are slightly out of position, so be it: He simply finds a system that works.

Take Niko Kovac. He'll be 37 in October and, obviously, doesn't have the mobility he once had. Bilic sticks him in front of the back four and funnels the opposition toward him, enabling him to avoid chasing opponents. Niko Kranjcar is given a relatively free role, but in exchange, he has to work extremely hard off the ball. Darijo Srna is probably more of a natural wing back than a right-sided midfielder, but he links brilliantly with Vedran Corluka behind him, turning Croatia into a devastating force down the flank. That's what tactical nous is all about: masking your weaknesses and maximizing your strengths.

prvi red teksta: "gang of overachievers"

I ja sam od početka (tj. od ispadanja sa SP) bio za Bilića ili Štimca.
