As far as I remember, Brakocevic was injured in 2014 and though she was playing again by the WCH, she was far from her best shape and couldn’t even score against Canada, so it’s not quite the same situation. I know Brakocevic wanted to play but I’m pretty sure the main reason she was dropped was due to fitness concerns so it wouldn’t need much explaining from Terzic, especially when Boskovic came in and impressed.
Exactly. Pretty straight-forward, but it seems not to pope. Perhaps he knows something more...
Anyway, I do recall Brako being bitter about having to play reserve to a 17 year-old kid, and making some cryptic remark about "no longer being able to fight against windmills" (loose translation) but it was pretty clear she was not well, her claims to the contrary notwithstanding.
