Yeah, that red card is pretty pathetic, especially with the way Modric fake-reacted; he got shoved in the chest but and covering his face instead, classic move. Reminded me how Beckham got red-carded in WC98.

There were some brutal tackles late in the game, but overall Croatia controlled the pace. Germany appeared static and were always reacting and chasing the ball in droves, leaving a lot of wide-open spaces.

People always confuse Croatian players. It was Leko. And both cards seem rightfully given. What Modric did was not for red card, Levy.

Would be great if Austria does something with Germans in third round.

OMFG! The penalty cost me the perfect score on the last game!

FUCK!

Croatia is in. I'd like for hosts to come to q's as well...though, Germany would have a better chance against Portugal, who I'd like out asap.

Another craptastic referee. It's a crying shame. How far offside do you have to be for them to see it?

As it seems Croatia and Portugal will be group firsts, who would you prefer, Czech Republic or Turkey?

It was a full speed tackle from behind into the legs at midfield. That usually gets red

Italy - Romania 2:1 (unfortunately)
Holland - France 2:0

Lucky for Austria though in the first 30 mins they played great...so I guess its ok.

oh and....


Scheiss Italien ölölölö......Scheiss Italien ölölölölö Scheiss Italien ölölölö

Italy - Romania 1:1
Holland - France 2:2

Austria deserved to win that game, so I'm glad they at minimum got a tie out of it. They still have to beat Germany to advance even if they had won this game, but at least they would control their own fate.

Theoretically they could win and still miss out if Poland beats Croatia

Yeah, that's the current case; if they had beat Poland instead, they wouldn't have to worry about any help. That's what I meant.

And the funny thing is they would still be alive even if they had lost to Poland.

Mutu for 0:1! Zambrotta with a terrible mistake.

EDIT: Well, crap. Already 1:1, Panucci.

EDIT#2: Penalty for Romania!

Saved by Buffon. Mutu, you ass.

What a game! It was somewhat dull until the first goal, but after that it had everything.
