Irlandos Posted June 18, 2012 Author Share Posted June 18, 2012 Btw, if that 2-2 scenario (for Croatia and Spain to advance) sounds very familiar, Italy were in the exact same situation in 2004. Back then, if memory serves, Italy beat Bulgaria on a last-minute goal by Cassano, only to learn that Sweden and Denmark had drawn 2-2. ;) Will history repeat itself? :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharpos Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 No, the usual refeering favoring the big countries stopped that :tdown: It's bloody obvious that the refs feel the pressure to "help" the "right" team get through, or else UEFA wont pick them for the finals :angry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The goal was not offside. Check again...but croatia were denied two clear penalties. Welcome to our world Croatia :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irlandos Posted June 19, 2012 Author Share Posted June 19, 2012 Jesus Navas was clearly in an offside position when the ball was played to Iniesta. As he obtained an advantage by being in such a position (i.e. to receive the pass and score) the ball should've been blown dead and an offside given.

Sharpos Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 Sweden are the opposite to Greece. They need to have absolutely nothing to play for to start acting like a great team! :tdown: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irlandos Posted June 20, 2012 Author Share Posted June 20, 2012 Sweden deserved far better than to be eliminated from game 2. They went ahead of Ukraine and ahead of England in their two first two matches, gave as good as they got and did not play bad football. The last game proved they were not as bad as the results might indicate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
