I know I’m late!
Sorry about that
But still it’s news of the year:
3 days ago new FIFA ranking came out. And guess where we are. We are 15th! It’s so cool to hear that as I’m 15 years old and Slovenia is 15th. Everything is easier to remember now

Congrats, guys!

Now, I have to tell you we are above Italy (16th), we took Serbia’s place and they are now 22nd, USA (25th), Northern Ireland (41st), Estonia(74th), Faroe Islands(133rd).
More rankings…
Now, we have the best ranking in our qualifying group for Euro 2012. So on the paper we aren’t underdogs anymore. So I hope this place gave our boys some confidence to fight on. We really need that. (Review against Estonia will come later).
I was so pleasantly surprised when I read this on the Internet. I couldn’t believe it. I hope we keep on raising!
But that’s now the only thing we can celebrate!
We are 2nd in our group and we can fight for the first place(Serbia and Italy with one match less, but is Serbia doesn’t win we are still second)! Our next qualification game is in March and it’s against the first placed Italy. If we win we have the first place. But more about that later. So many things can change until March.
There is another thing to celebrate (yeah this is celebration post)
Birsa scored an amazing goal in Champions League!
He score from a free kick, have a look:

So what do you think?

Koper Bonifika stadium is opened again. First match for our national team on this stadium will be against Georgia on the 17th November at 20 45 CET.

More news coming on Monday after weekend full of matches and of course news about our players in their leagues!
This post was short, but couldn’t have better news in it!
Enjoy and go celebrate our record breaking 15th place! Let the 15 be your favourite number!
