Croatian press slam 'shameful' penalty
"Injustice!'' "Shame!'' and "Referee shamelessly broke the Fiery Ones (Vatreni - the team;s nickname)!'' read the leading dailies frontpage headlines as they lamented over an "invented penalty.''

The press gave great play too to Croat coach Niko Kovac's comments to Croatian state-run HRT television that: "If that was a penalty then we should not play football anymore!''
