Full-Time Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 In June of 2009, Bosnia and Herzegovina manager Miroslav Blazevic told sportsport.ba that Asmir Begovic had committed to play for Bosnia. Last week, on the July 5th edition of Full-Time: Vancouver's Soccer Show, Canada's interim head coach Stephen Hart said that he didn't believe Begovic had committed himself to the Bosnian national squad and when all was said and done, he would likely choose Canada. We've all heard what each coach has to say, but what about Asmir Begovic? What are his intentions? Well you can find out Sunday, July 12th at 9pm on Full-Time: Vancouver's Soccer Show as the Portsmouth goalkeeper joins Tyler Green and Mike Martignago for an exclusive interview where he answers all the questions about his international future. Full-Time: Vancouver's Soccer Show can be heard live on the AM dial at 1040 or online at http://team1040.ca/ For more information, visit http://fulltimefootballshow.blogspot.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TT5 Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 This sounds very intriging. I hope he has chosen Canada. I also wonder whether he will get shot at Portsmouth as the number 1 at all. David James is getting up there in age, so curious to hear his thoughts. Looking forward to the interview on Sunday night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 This scares me, That Blazevic guy seems much more certain than Hart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hamiltonfan Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 He will pick Canada. No way he's going on a Vancouver sports show to tell us he's playing for Bosnia, he'd declare his intentions in Bosnia if that were the case. We have a new keeper lads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Footscray Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 Finally the guy gets to speak for himself. Kudos for giving him a platform - here's hoping we finally get some good news in one of these cases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lurker Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 My first thought when I read this was he might be leaning our way if he is coming on a Canadian Radio Show to discuss... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dare431 Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 Very good point. Unless he turns out to be a real big dick about it (which I really could never see). Good news? I'll read the forum Monday morning as I have to be at work early, too late to stay up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dave Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 Not so sure it's good news. Remember a year or two ago, when Jonathan DeGuzman hadn't committed to Holland yet? Sportsnet ran with a blurb/teaser that JDG2 would declare his international future on an upcoming edition of Soccer Central. In the end, they showed a taped interview where JDG2 was as non-committal as he always was back then. This smacks of a cheap ratings grab by that radio station's marketting department.

BrennanFan Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 Exactly. Full-Time, it would be more responsible to simply say you will ask him what his intentions are. I doubt he will say anything aside from he is weighing his options, etc. EDIT: BY THE WAY, thanks for getting an interview with him and asking him the question that needs to be asked!

finchster Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 If he doesn't say he wants to play for Canada on the radio station then he will play for Bosnia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snake Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 i believe that begovic will only declare for bosnia when bosnia has clinched 2nd place in its wc qualifying group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bettermirror Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 Mod Post: This thread title should be renamed - so I have. Unless you have a direct quote from Asmir, which you can post, stating "I will declare my international intentions" or something along those lines, this is a misleading thread title. THANKS for your understanding guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The interview will be available via the podcast once we have chatted with Asmir. So you can download it and hear for yourself what he has to say. As for the title change, that is fine... but you will get an answer on whether it will be for Canada or Bosnia. We're not going to let him be vague (re: de Guzman). We want an answer as much as you do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
