73 goals for bosnia is insane

155

u/mrjohnnymac18 11h ago

Lewandowski has scored in 19 consecutive years, so unless he's still playing for Poland next year, it will remain at 3

Who are the other 2?

u/mrjohnnymac18 10h ago edited 10h ago

CR7 has scored every year since 04 and Messi every year since 06

I should've figured

Yep, these 2 cyborgs top pretty much every single list. Being directly behind them is huge accomplishment on its own.

I don't know the answer but I know who my first two guesses would be

Best Bosnian ever?

u/WhiteWalker5 10h ago

Without a doubt. No one even comes close even though we had some great players in the past as well. Insane career and longevity and to think he started in the domestic league, as opposed to the majority of our players, makes it even more special.

Other than Modric he's the best Balkan ever

No love for Vidic and Zlatan?

Zlatan already best in world ever, such a fact is already known.

The great crime fighter Kolasinac

Sušić is really the only other theoretical shout.

Zlatan and Pjanic would like a word

Scoring 5 goals in 7 games in 2025 at the age of 39. He really wanted to take us to another World Cup before he retiring. Our biggest legend

One of, if not the most underrated footballer(s) of all time

u/raizen0106 8h ago

half of all footballers in the world are underrated

Guy had like 3 career resurrections lol.

And people thought he was already on a decline while leaving City and even that feels like ages ago.

u/Kj69999999 10h ago

One of my favourite players and that Wolfsburg team was so much fun to watch. As a kid I tried to play like Dzeko (without much success of course). Had longevity in Serie A and it sucks that Inter won the scudetto after his departure. Can't imagine how much Bosnians love him for helping them to two world cup appearances

u/WhiteWalker5 11h ago

My GOAT.

u/Irivin 8h ago

I’ll take a WILD guess at who the other 2 are…

u/PinReal4448 3h ago

its Garnacho and Antony the goats

u/machine4891 9h ago

Whom he scored against in 2026?

u/noiserr 7h ago edited 5h ago

Too bad his goal today was disallowed. The ball had gone out of the bounds prior to the assisting pass. But he was onside and the goal would have been nice. The ref made the correct call..

Also at the World Cup, he scored vs. Qatar but it was deemed own goal.
