When I was a kid, the central square (Trg Republike) would every evening be filled with soccer fans, different clubs under different street lights. They were 6 daily newspapers, half filled with communist drivel, and the other half with sports, and 3 daily sports newspapers. And by 'sports' they meant soccer, there was a paragraph here and there about something else.
This was religion for morons, I would never
have anything to do with it.
