What a cross! That seemed like it had a homing device to Mandzukic xD. The cross alone was 90% of the goal.

Edit - Game's over and Itally have yet to win a game in this Euro. They had a pretty good first half but tried to play Catenaccio on the second and that backfired against them. They need to stop relying on Balotelli so much up front and put Di Natale from the start to capitalize on their initial strength which seems to be their high point in the matches. 

Good job from Croatia to come back in the game, guaranteeing the lead in the group (probably in conjunction with Spain, should they win later against Ireland) and a pretty interesting last game between both.

Italy has been underperforming this tournament so far but I have to say that Croatia has surprised me a great deal!

Croatia so far has been the surprise of the tournament on par with Russia (especially with their first game). They'll put up a lot of trouble for Spain and Russia will be a major pain to whomever they get in the quarter-finals (if we pass in 2nd place in our group, we'll play them).
