2008-07-07T07:24:00+00:00

David Bentley
There could be an almighty scrap on the cards for David Bentley, if the tabs are to be believed.

Croatian Fans to Get Counseling for Shock Euro 2008 Exit

2008-06-25T04:10:47+00:00

One Croatian newspaper has decided that citizens are so depressed by the team's dramatic quarterfinal exit, they need counseling.

After ninety goalless minutes of the quarterfinal against Turkey and with extra time coming to an end, Ivan Klasnic broke the deadlock in the 119th minute. Looked like a fairytale result for the Fiery Ones, especially with Ivan Klasnic scoring the winner (the Werder Bremen striker only made his post-kidney transplant comeback last November).

Well this tournament continues to exceed all expectations with the second quarter final of EURO 2008 managing to surpass the first one for sheer drama, if not quality, as Croatia vs Turkey exploded into life in the final moments after a frankly fairly drab previous 120 minutes during which both teams had pretty much cancelled each other out.

2008-06-20T22:22:00+00:00

Turquía derrotó 3-1 en penales a Croacia en los cuartos de final de la Eurocopa, tras haber empatado milagrosamente 1-1 en tiempos extras, con lo que logró avanzar a las semifinales del torneo de Austria y Suiza.

En el tiempo reglamentario las emociones no fueron muchas, y todo terminó empatado sin goles, por lo que se tuvieron que jugar tiempos extras, donde ambas selecciones trataron de adelantarse en el marcador y sepultar las esperanzas del rival, lo que parecía haber logrado Croacia, cuando al minuto 119, Ivan Klasnic cabeceó un centro por la banda derecha y venció al arquero Rustu Recber, sellando lo que parecía el pase a semifinales de los croatas.

EURO 2008 QF VIENNA
Croatia 1:1 Turkey aet; Turkey win 3-1 on penalties

A disappointing contest which never got going over 118 minutes, implausibly caught fire in the last two minutes of extra-time, allowing first Croatia and then Turkey to revel in 60 seconds of ecstasy, before three missed penalties sent the Turks through to a semi-final date with Germany.

Germany 1, Austria 0
Croatia 1, Poland

It wasn't the beautiful advertisement for soccer that yesterday's Turkey-Czech Republic game was, but Germany secured the result they needed with a 1-0 win over Austria to advance to the quarterfinals. It's the first quarterfinal berth for Germany since they won Euro '96.

Week Seventeen: Ivan The Great

2007-12-20T16:24:00+00:00

It seems that TV companies decision making processes are as shackled by the commercial chains in Germany as they are in England. A visually impaired alien from the planet Fusballistscheise could have told you that the Leverkusen v Bremen match was the game of the week rather than Hertha v Bayern. But, Munich are probably a bigger draw internationally so that was the big TV game on Saturday.
