Shitty pass, but Karnezis completely whiffed. Kick it to the side, do anything else! And then he fouls the nearest Croatian, he almost had to, but he's lucky he didn't get sent off, forcing us to play down a man, and have someone else in goal for the rest of this playoff(which would be fine if we had anyone else)

Croatia 3-1 Greece HT Ugh

+2

Perisic shot, save Karnezis, rebound to Kalinic, he got that one too! Karnezis did something right finally.

So much for that, Vrsalko crosses to Perisic, 3-1

PAPASTATHOPOULOS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ESPN3 broadcast singing his praises for being better than the Ranieri/Markarian/Tsanas combo. LOL!

If we can get a goal and keep it to a 2-1 loss, it's our only chance.

Strinic low pass to Kalinic, he gets a touch and they score, 2-0

Yes. Back pass to Karnezis, he whiffed, tripped up the nearest Croatian trying to score.

Modric takes it and hits, 1-0

Yellow against Karnezis, penalty for Croatia

Parking the bus. What else?

I see a lack of a #8. Is #8 Zeca? Could that be it? EDIT: Yes, I'll edit that in.

It's on ESPN3(ESPN's internet channel) in the US. ESPN2 is showing Northern Ireland-Switzerland. The good news is, the return leg on Sunday in Piraeus is on ESPNNEWS.

Karaiskaki is a tough place to win, no matter who you are, even if you're Barca. That's what makes losing at home to Sporting so infuriating. Great fans today, great defense, Proto made the saves he had to make. I wasn't sure we'd get a point from this group.

GROUP STANDINGS Barcelona-10 Juventus-7 Sporting Lisbon-4 Olympiakos-1

Juve did salvage a draw in Lisbon, 1-1.

Olympiakos 0-0 FC Barcelona FT

+3

Messi takes the free kick, knocked down by Proto and clear!

Yellow against Figueiras

Foul and a free kick for Barca
