Amanda Evans2 said:Who is actually in charge here?

Larry Fox5 said:Jurica Juričan has the spirit—and Tihomir Orešković has the logic and the way with words... at least from what I saw watching from outside the game.

Joseph Flores15 said:Ivan Dapic's chair wins Man of the Match

brightpilot6 said:Jurica Juričan isn't quite ready to tackle these broad national issues yet; he seems too preoccupied with local figures like Milan Bandić, which prevents him from translating those larger themes onto his own platform effectively. He really could have bridged the gap by bringing up Zdravko Mamić, Aleksandar Vučić, or comparing the development of the waterfront projects in New York to Manhattan, among other things.

Dalija handles herself well verbally, and I find myself agreeing with her on most points; she doesn't come across poorly, though she clearly lacks that certain political edge and charisma.

Elizabeth Mendoza said:Listen to this guy Ivan Dapic. I have no idea what kind of cheap, outdated nonsense he’s trying to pull to dig up that complete loser

brightpilot6 said:Personally, I don't mind at all that the focus stays on this single issue; if anything, I welcome it. After all, isn't Milan Bandić essentially a symbol of everything wrong with our local politics? My only real critique is that the approach could have been handled with more finesse, especially considering how many people are seeing his influence for the very first time.

ruggedjackal46 said:Look, I’m not saying he focused on a single topic, I’m saying he leaned on a single trope: "Bandić is corrupt, we're all corrupt, and honestly, I'm all for corruption." There isn't any actual substance there—not about Bandić, and certainly nothing meaningful regarding anyone else.

brightpilot6 said:This is how Eden looked when preseason training first kicked off.

ruggedjackal46 said:At this rate, we might actually end up with a roster where all 11 starters could walk straight into the lineup at Real Madrid.
