I have literally zero emotions about something that happend nearly 90 years ago. I do, however, have certain sympathy towards people who live in the past, constantly starting flaming threads because "their grandpa told them a story...".
Still fact remains, it was a team of Serbians who won the game.
If you want to dig in to emotions, Serbians will call it a Serbian "victory", even though it was technically a Yugoslavian team (formed in Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes). It's perfectly understandable why a Serbian director would go as far as calling it "biggest achievement of the Serbian football", as it trully was the Serbian school of football that got the team that far.
If you want to be technical about it, you can call it Yugoslavian team, I don't mind and I don't think any Serb will ever mind, because we have the King Alexander (Serb) to thank for creation of Yugoslavia.
For you it's about disputing that victory purely because bad neighbours syndrome. So who's really emotional about it? It's a rhetorical question, don't answer it.

I am glad that you admit that it was Yugoslavian team.
In the competition in Uruguay it was presented as a Yugoslav team, and players wore shirts with the coat of arms of Kingdom of Yugoslavia (look how it looked).
I am sorry that director was not accurate enough and called it the biggest achievement of the Yugoslav team. It was mistake, but 90 years later it is easy to make a mistake...

Sure, why the hell not. I'm sorry about Yugoslavia as well.

Well inbota, I am NOT sorry that Yugoslavia fell apart. It was a failed state two times in its history. I just wished it disintegrated without a genocide and bloodshed. I just hope that successor states will be a success story, but it does not seem so. All are performing poorly including Slovenia which became part of the EU while ago. All in all šaka jada.
