Poland - Croatia, 0 - 1. Wörthersee, Klagenfurt, Austria, 2008-06-16
This was a loooooooong match, it seemed to last forever.
But
But Vassaras was good. He let play go on and twice booked a player later, having to point out the place where it all happened to remind him where he made his foul. Sure again, as in the whole tournament, there was an onside situation when a Polish player was called back, on his way to another opportunity to miss enormously. Sure Vassaras had it wrong a couple of times, but which referee doesn't?
And we didn't have to endure the Greek's typical last ten minutes, when he takes on every player he hasn't booked yet and the match turns into chaos. Nothing like that this time.
He missed a very bad foul in the second minute though. When Saganowski tried to break Pranjic's leg.
match
yes, well, the Poles couldn't score and the Croats must have been elsewhere with their thoughts.
