Croatia beat Euro 2008 pre-tournament favourites 2-1 to reach the quarter-finals. Darijo Srna scored the opening goal for Croatia on 24 minutes when he bead Marcell Jansen to Danijel Pranjic's cross and fired home.
Germany then gifted Croatia a second goal on 63 minutes when Ivan Rakitic's cross deflected off Luka Podolski hitting the post and rebounding into Ivica Olic path who tapped the ball home.
Podolski pulled a goal back with a late strike on 78 minutes, his guy doesn't know how to score a normal goal. However, all hope of scoring the equaliser faded when Bastian Schweinsteiger was sent off in injury time for pushing.
I predict that Croatia would pull a surprise or two and they don't get much bigger than beating Germany. Germany now have to avoid defeat to qualify for the quarter-finals.
Result
Croatia 2-1 Germany
Euro 2008 co-hosts Austria pushed Croatia to the final whistle, but Luka Modric penalty on four minutes was enough to take all three points. Croatia were gifted the penalty after Rene Aufhauser clumsily challenged Ivica Olic.
Croatia didn't look like the team that knocked England out during the qualifying stages, but I still predict they will cause an upset. Especially in the latter stages of the competition against the bigger teams.
Result
Austria 0-1 Croatia
