EURO'2008 GAME 3: GROUP B AUSTRIA 0 CROATIA 1

Oh dear, oh dear. 24 hours and 3 games into the tournament and both co-hosts are heading for the doo marked 'Exit'.

The game's goal came early, a penalty on just 4 minutes. A poor challenge in a needless place and Modric, bound for Spurs, hit it straight but the keeper dived away and that was it.


The Croats - with everyone named an "Itch" dominated for 25 but stopped playing and the Austrians huffed and puffed but like the Swiss yesterday, never ever really look like grabbing a goal or draw.

The Croats, of course, qualified from England’s group, the cue for BBC to remind us constantly and ponder how “our” England missed out. When do you think they will get over it???

Three games, three positive results and all won by the team in red. Next up Germany in white against Poland in red. That's the end of that sequence then!
