Slovenci manite se corava posla i ostavite Hrvatsku na miru cijelo vrijeme serete po Savezima u HR

Svjetsko u Assautu 2008 imali ste skoro vise finalista nego a borci vam se sami cude kak su im podigli ruke nakon borbe

Jos malo i ovaj sport ce se zvat SLOVATE a ne SAVATE - ko ima love kupuje medalje mislim da to vise opisuje SLOVENSKI SAVATE SAVEZ
