Croatia v. Germany [R]

[footyfan1]

BTW, here's something else for Germany fans to complain about.

At this moment, Slaven Bilic is tactically kicking the living shit out of Jogi Loew........

[sendorange]

Schweinsteiger does give a much better balance and creativity to the team, was a big mistake to persist with Podolski at left mid.

[Milaniac]

Bastian must start now he has brought a lot to the game since coming on.

[footyfan1]

I dont even remember the last time Germany looked this bad. Is Klose on the pitch, good lord has he been invisible this whole game.

I do. In the first half of a friendly they played against Austria a few months back.

[forza_azzurri]

Is Germany the Italians from Monday in disguise ???

Does Croatia clinch first with this win ??

[Suyuntuy]

Look on the positive side. From now on, Germany is no longer THE favorite and can play more relaxed.

[glennaldo_sf]

Germany has a goalkeeper problem.

Maybe Croatia are using the same tactics as against England. :p

[The Potter]

I bet Portugal can't wait to get at that German backline, no pace or agility at all between Mertesacker and Metzelder.

Lets be honest if any other country bar Germany had these players no chance in hell would they be favorites.

Schweinsteiger does give a much better balance and creativity to the team, was a big mistake to persist with Podolski at left mid.

There is still 15 minutes to go. How about we see if he keeps it up??

Anyone can have a few good scenes coming in fired up off the bench.

They haven't won yet......

[drahnier]

Why didn't Odonkor choose a career as a 100-meter runner in track and field?

Maybe he's only quick over 50 meters.

Does Croatia clinch first with this win ??


No. They can clinch first with an Austria win or a draw later today.


Germany gets one back.

[Milaniac]

PODOLSKI!!!!!! number 3!!

[The Potter]

2-1, Podolski.

[sendorange]

Oooh 2-1.

Good finish by Podolski, lucky that the weak header fell right to him though.

[footyfan1]

Croatia relaxes and Podolski makes them pay. Not over yet.

[The Natural]

Beautiful, Lahm back in his position, Schweinseiger playing as needed and Podolski with the rifle shot.

[Bujdasz]

One more prince Poldi..please

[TheGrimSweeper]

Podolski is the luckiest striker ever. Balls just fall right in front of him in front of the net.

[Lahmfan]

OMG! what a strike!!!
