Well, that was a fine game of football. Chances galore and lots of flowing football. Shame about the result but still very entertaining.
Speaking of entertaining, that is what I expect the next game to be. Croatia vs The Republic of Ireland will be a great match, trust me. Both of these teams know that they have to win this match if they want to stand any chance of getting out of this group. With Spain and Italy drawing, the odds are on for an upset if the winner of tonight's match can take some points off of either Spain or Italy. If there was ever a better incentive to go and attack a game, then I'm yet to hear it.
Honestly, that is how it should go. In reality, the shock of being in with a chance of getting out of this group will probably paralyze both teams and it will turn into a tense and cagey affair. Let's hope I'm wrong with this one.
I might be here for the first half alone. My Girlfriend finishes work at half 8 and she might feel a little unloved if I don't talk to her (like what has happened for the last 3 days). Oops.
