well, Croatia deserved this win, because they played very motivated, used their chances and only gave few chances to Germany, who played rather weak and seemed to be overchallenged most of the time...
and the end was very weird...

nevertheless there's still a chance to advance to the quarters by beating Austria. We'll see if they get it...


i gotta play football on my GameBoy now, because this seems to be the only way to make Germany win a tournament very easily...

i think you forgot the last match
austria and poland both have a point

im looking forward to Italy vs France next week

this team is amazing and still... one bad match next week or the week after and it's all over.
but this was by far the best match of the tournament, France played half of the match very well to , couldn't finish their chances , great counter attacks from the dutchies, fantastic football

I wonder if ever in the history of football a team has beaten two top seven clubs back-to-back by three goals? Quite the amazing performance, congrats to their fans.

Speaking of the fans, how on earth do they get so many tickets lol The support for the dutch is amazing, and after all the faffing about with Ronaldo wanting to leave my team United for Madrid, especially after all the club has done for him and the fact that we are the european champions, I dont feel as inclined to support portugal anymore, so my favourite team now are Holland, simply brilliant so far, but i do see where ya coming from kallur, one bad game and their out, I hope that isnt the case
