Gotta love it!

Croatia upsets Germany and can clinch an advance if Poland/Austria draws.

[dreamer]

We sucked. Anyway, I think we can still make it.

Surprised the Germany lost but then again Croatia has proven that they are a quality team. They beat England twice in Euro 2008 qualifiers and the last game against England was a thriller where Croatia beat them 3-2. The effectively eliminated England from going to Euro 2008.
I wonder if they will be able to repeat the feat that they achieved at the '98 World Cup where they went all they way to the semifinals only losing to Les Blues 2-1.

I think you guys will still be able to make it. Even if Germany draws in the next game you guys will still go through based on Goal difference. The problem is you guys may have to face the winner of the other group in the next stage since it is more likely you guys will take second place. A match with Portugal perhaps, yikes!!

Oh noes, not Germany :scared:

Sorry dude, I know it must have been painful to watch especially the last game against Croatia all you guys needed was just one goal to go to Euro. It kinda reminded of Euro 2004 game France Vs England. Zidane scored two goals in injury time to beat you guys. Fortunately you guys still made it to the next round. But that was one crazy game.

Well, at least you guys have another crack at Croatia, they are in the same group as you guys for World Cup 2010 qualificationl.

ahah, Portugal x England on Euro 2004 was a much crazier game...I've never been so tense in a match...

Just wait until you guys fail to qualify for the World Cup! Then you will have a whole new set of horrible qualification matches to be disgusted with!



P.S. I really don't think Capello is going to let that happen I just want to harass the Limey.
