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
Tournament favourites Germany sink Poland with Luka Podolski scoring both goals. Polish-born Podolski slid home his first from close range after a pass from Miroslav Klose on 20 minutes. Podolski added his second with a rasping volley that flew passed Boruc on 72 minutes.
Germany didn't ignite the competition with this performance, but they've started the competition in typical German fashion and will probably make the finals.
Result
Germany 2-0 Poland
