The match between Austria and Croatia was a good match to watch. I think Austrian were a bit unlucky to concede a penalty in the first five minutes of the game. The final 20 minutes was very exciting and it was bad that Austria could not score a goal with that many opportunities. Austria deserved a draw (if not a win) yesterday. Croatia were lucky to get away with a 3 point from that match. They didn't look like the team that defeated England.

Unlike the pre-match media hype about historical rivalry, the second match between Deutschland and Polska was a pretty lame one to watch. I didn't even watch the second half. There was no way Poland could compete with Germany in the match. Germans were all over the game. The worst thing was Poland were hammered two goals by the Polish-born Podolski. Though I was hoping Poland would pull the first upset of the tournament.

For today's match, I think France and Holland will prevail. Since it is a group of death each goal will count.
