Well, what surprised me the most during the first half is how biased the German commentary is. |
Forget this commentator, Rol. He's a former track-and-field athlete and one of the worst football commentators we have in Germany (he's still allowed to comment as he's a former Leiter ZDF Sportredaktion - the commentaries are his Zuckerl for being downgraded to a Redakteur). I think today he just expected too much from the Austrian team and that's why some of his improper comments sounded biased to you. Actually he doesn't know much about football.
Just like the Czech team yesterday, the Croatian team was too nervous and could not deploy its full potential.
And just like the Swiss team yesterday, the Austrian team was too harmless in the penalty area.
A very fragmented game. Although the penalty was correct, the win for Croatia was lucky in the end.

Oh, the GER: POL game starts with early chances on both sides.
