You’re right SeaHawkFan, never a penalty in a million years. The ref folded under pressure. I feel a certain amount of sympathy for him. I can only imagine how intense it must be to be put in charge of such a high profile game. That’s what he signed up for though. Croatia deserved a point.

I had no idea that the Croatian coach, Niko Kovac, was so inexperienced. The stuffed suits will probably fine him, but he only spoke the truth. I think Croatia have enough about them, to get out of the group. An encouraging start for them. (goalkeeping issues aside!)

Wow, that was bad. Reminds me of a foul by Joe Simunic

That kick actually hit the other guy in the face. He was playing for my club, Hertha BSC, then, and got psychological training after that. Not that it helped much ;-). Here is another one by Simunic:

He would normally play for Croatia but was banned from this world cup for some supposedly fascist chants.

He is a good player, though. I always liked him when he played here. He just loses his mind sometimes ;-)

Yes, anyone who disrespects the sons of American servicemen hits one of my nerves. Funny, looking at your history I don't see many other posts on soccer related threads. So again, go away, troll.

Sorry, what I meant was, go away, B!TCH.
