Huge Bitch Croatian Striker Sent Home From World Cup After Refusing To Come On As A Sub

TalkSport- The striker is understood to have been sent home in disgrace by manager Zlatko Dalic after refusing to come on as a substitute in Saturday’s opening Group D clash against Nigeria.

The AC Milan striker, once on the books of Blackburn Rovers, has scored 15 goals in 41 appearances for his national team.

He has been left on the bench for their last four games, and is said to have been left upset by his failure to make the starting XI against Nigeria.

What a bitch. Nikola Kalinic is exactly the type of primadonna you expect in eastern European soccer players. It’s the World Cup, asshole. You make the team, you play by their rules. Want to start? Be better. You still get a cap even if you only play the last 4 minutes. Score a goal in that tiny window and there’s a good chance your coach reconsiders his starting lineup for the next game. Not to mention, don’t blame it on a “back injury.” Might as well just tell them you’re faking. Everyone knows back injuries aren’t real unless you physically break your spine. Back injuries are  impossible to prove, so it’s the perfect way to get out of playing sports or conditioning sessions when it’s the morning after your 21st birthday and you’re puking on the walk down to the fields.

And now he’s going home. Will never play for his country again. Was it worth it, Nikola? Eh, he probably doesn’t give a shit. Dude plays for AC Milan, makes stupid money, and probably sleeps with the hottest babes in all ze world. Nice to know he can get back to them instead of having to wait another couple weeks until Croatia is officially bounced from the tournament. Even though they’re currently leading one of the groups of death.

Still not as bad as the time Scottie Pippen refused to go in for the last 1.8 seconds of a tied playoff game against the Knicks in 1994 because Phil Jackson drew up a play for Toni Kukoc instead:

With MJ playing baseball, Pippen was the obvious leader and star of the 1994 Bulls team that was actually better than a lot of people remember. If I’m Scottie Pippen, I’m pissed too. But you gotta suck it up–especially given that Kukoc ended up hitting the game-winner, justifying Jackson’s play call and making Pippen look like even more of a bitch.
