croatian derby

Croatian football league starting after the winter break this weekend with the biggest derby Hajduk Split vs Dinamo Zagreb on Sunday night. I'm very sad cause i couldn't get tickets. Only 1500 were avi for guest fans. I would say that this derby belongs within in the top10 in the world. I'm counting in the number of times it was played, the difference between the croatian north & south , the incidents 2months before the game until the match day and it includes the two best clubs in Croatian history. The current situation on the table is like this:

1 Dinamo 18 12 3 3 38 17 +21 39
2 Hajduk 18 12 2 4 31 17 +14 38
3 Šibenik 18 8 4 6 27 16 +11 28
4 Slaven Belupo 18 8 4 6 25 22 +3 28
5 Rijeka 18 7 4 7 21 20 +1 25
6 Varteks 18 7 3 8 25 27 -2 24
7 Zagreb 18 6 6 6 19 25 -6 24
8 Osijek 18 6 5 7 25 24 +1 23
9 Cibalia 18 6 3 9 17 31 -14 21
10 Croatia Sesvete 18 5 4 9 22 32 -10 19
11 Inter Zaprešić 18 4 6 8 29 33 -4 18
12 Zadar 18 3 4 11 13 28 -15 13

The atmosphere is being pumped up in the press for the last 2 months, 35000 crazy croatians and 2 less police to handle it out calls for medic help at the minor point. Every ex player said that they didn't see anything like this in the past years. Everybody is just hoping that there won't be any serious problems. Fireworks are being announced by fan groups ( torcida and bbb ) so it will probably take ~ 110mins to finish the game. I can't wait for the first whistle, starting to shake already. Usually the games are full with yellow and red cards but the situation is quite different now. Both teams invested a lot in bringing new players. From the Croatian national team : Robert Kovac, Mario Mandukic from Dinamo and Hrvoje Vejic, Vedran Subasic and Nikola Kalinic from Hajduk adds some quality to the game. Also Dinamo has a lot of foreign players like Miroslav Slepcika Sammir Calello and Ibanez who are all fantastic players.
So if you don't know what to do with yourself on Sunday evening, make sure you find a video stream with the game. You won't regret it, atleast you'll see how true supporting your team looks like.
