Thanks for the congrats Pruritus,

Let me tell you a golden rule. NEVER UNDERESTIMATE THE GERMANS. What if Germany and Croatia meet again in a more advanced stage of the tournament? Even if Germany do make it to meet Ronaldo and co does anyone think it would be a walk in the park for Portugal. When the group stage is over the game will change. Remember Greece and Italy won the last two major tournaments. Did they produce the best football? No they just would not let themselves be eliminated.

I wouldn’t be laughing, Italy are very lucky to still be in it, and they still have to beat the French, Dutch, and Spanish to get to the final.

Maerus you are right Croatia are a force to be reckoned with. They seemed to have inherited all the good stylistic parts of the former Yugoslavian team.

Schweni will be able to play against Portugal because all disciplinary actions are wiped after the group stage and he will only be benched for Austria anyway.

Ukraine is the most populous nation in Europe actually, and Germany will indeed show Portugal up with Schweni again. It is too bad Croatia can’t teach a lesson to the Netherlands, that will be Germany\s job in the finals.

Prrfff…ROFL
Congrats to you for another useless comment.
Remember, the germans already showed portugal what soccer is all about.
Ricardo must be glad….he will not meet Schweinsteiger again.

Congrats to the Kroatian team. They’ve played well and deserved to win. And germany? It’s embarassing to see a team in such (relatively) easy poule play this bad and uninspired. The germans should not complain or feel self-pity. With (i believe) the largest population in Europe germany should at least be able to bring some creative players on the pitch. So far we only saw the running and complaining to the referee. Of course they’ll beat Austria, but there will not much te be proud off whan another small country (portugal) will show them what football is all about in the semi finals…

Hehe, let the kid have his fun. Afterall Croatia did win against a strong opponent. Like I said in my previous post, Croatians are very unpredictable and they are a real nightmare for big teams, so don’t think Germany is a bad team just because they lost to a small country as Croatia. Croatia managed to surprise many big teams throughout the years and anyone who still doubts them obviously doesn’t know much about football. Let me refresh your memory a bit and remind you that great Italy lost 3/5 matches agaisnt Croatia and 2 times there was no winner. Croatia managed to beat teams like Argentina, England, Germany, Spain, etc. You have to take Croatia into consideration, because they will now avoid Portugal, which means they have a very good chance to make it into the semifinals and then anything is possible. And don’t forget that Germany never impressed in the first round and yet they always managed to go far, so I wouldn’t sign them off just because they lost to a team that is standardly a hard nut to crack.
