I missed the first half, so I am just commenting about the second.

bringing Odonkor in was a very bad gamble by louw, I know what he was thinking, but odonkor was so unsuitable for the way germany was playing. shweini or hitzelssomething would have been much better for this game...

Lahm and mertesacker were fantastic realy. podolski's finish was class.

but..... Croatia showed today that they are aiming very high!! inspired by the brilliant Luca(?) Modric...... my god what a player - I don't think he had one touch that isn't perfect.

I think Bilic deserves a lot of credit here because croatia looked very organized and very well prepared for the match. (even though the second goal was very lucky)
