    and bosnia was just 1/6th of yugoslavia, so i dont know if they should really get full credit for all those achievements

        i mean personally i dont think any of them should really get those achievements, but technically doesnt all of yugoslavia’s footballing history legally belong to serbia?

        somewhat unrelated, but did bosnians ever make up a majority of the yugoslav team, like how the ussr team was often majority ukranian? would def make sense to give them credit if they were like 50-60% of the squad, not so much if they were like 10-20%

        Seems pretty obvious that none of the former Yugoslav states should be seen as ‘inheritors’ or successors to the old Yugoslavia national team. If you look through their old squds, it seems like a fairly even mix of nationalities in there.
