Croatia was rubbish. Nowhere near the dangerous outsiders they were hyped up to be. I only saw the second half, in which the Austrians rather amused me with their game. They lack quality, but I thought they were fun.

Germany is uberstrong. A machine. Dang it.
Actually, no, not dang it. Germany plays fine, attractive football, so if they win the tournament, it will be well-deserved.
Poland should be able to beat Croatia and Austria. The second place in this group is up for grabs, with the Croats being much weaker than expected.

Tomorrow will be good, and very exciting. Three traditional powers in action - France, Italy and Holland. And Romania could well prove to be the dark horse of this group. Plus, tradition demands that in Groups of Death the overlooked outsider triumphs.


Did you cope, Cegorach? No heart attack or a televison thrown out of your window?
