Too bad you missed the goals.  They were only a couple of minutes apart.  I agree, best game so far!  It looked like Bolatelli was a bit pissed off that Di Natale scored just seconds after replacing him.  It was nice to see the ridiculously handsome Jesus Navas near the end.

Halftime quicky:

We-love-striped-stockings-country (formerly known as Ireland) vs. Croatia  1 : 2

I'm rooting for Ireland, but think Croatia will win.

Oh, and I bet on Croatia; we started a betting group (just the five of us, and no money involved, just for the kicks of it). 1 point for every correctly guessed winner and three points for every correctly guessed result.

The betting and point counting continues for the whole three weeks. Hm, maybe I'll put a prize in for the overall winner.....

Oh, I totally misunderstood. The game is actually at 3 : 1 for Croatia!
I thought that's your guess. :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Some pics of the Croatia - Ireland game:


Irelands coach, Mr. 'Bottle Empty' Trappatoni, is not happy. Understandably.




I like the perspective of this one





Apparently, a streaker (though not nekkid) showed up ...
(I missed this, perhaps it was shortly after the final whistle)





... and made it to the Croatian coach. Success!
