Di-Luka-i ("Dilukai" means "getting hurt" in Malay)

I just finished watching the Croatia Germany game. It was awesome. The way the Croats managed to deflect all the Germany artillery and turn it into their own. Basically they could play the ball around just to hold up play. Luka Modric is really damn good on the ball, so technically sound, the way he just pass the ball around and hold when needed, almost like me. Croatia really looked composed, no worries even though they're up against a 3-time World Cup and Euro Cup champion.
I was expecting a scoreline of 3-0 ah, just like how Suker & Jarni & Co. shocked the likes of Matthaus, Klinsmann and Bierhoff, back in World Cup 98. Well the no. of goals were the same. Also the no. of players left at the end of the game - 21. Only this time Schweinsteiger got sent off towards the end of the game, unlike Woerns who got sent off as early as 40mins.
So now Croatia is into the quarters liao and Germany have to beat Austria I suppose, depending on the outcome of the other game later. Ok, I gtg catch the exciting game coming up, Poland vs Austria, awesome!
