90' (+3): Now the referee calling one foul after the other. Good for Croatia
90' (+2): Scweini just saw a red card. A stupid one. He won the ball, he suffered the tackle and then he gets up and pushes the Croatian. Red! Early shower!
90': Three more minutes of added time. And Croatia got close to their 3 goal
87': Croatia controls the ball, controls Germany attempts. With three minutes to go this one might be over for Germany already.
82': The goal set the German team on fire. They just need to be careful with the counter attack
80': GOOOAAALLLL!!!! Another blaster by Lukas Podolski!!! The ball came from a bad clearance by the defender and Podolski with a lot of anger hits the ball as hard as he could to bring more excitement to the last 10 minutes of the match
76': I believe this one is over for Germany. And Croatia really proved they are a solid team even without Eduardo.
74': Lahm crosses and the referee blows the whistle calling a foul on Ballack

66': Another counter attack for Croatia. And a free kick them. Srna takes it and hits the wall
62': Lehman should have saved the first ball. Even tough it was deflected he had time to recover and save it. Well, now it's late. Germany trails by two

48': Pletikosa punches the ball to the front. That's not a clearance that a goalkeeper should do. Ballanck tries to shoot. Too high
46': The second half starts with Odonkor replacing Jansen for Germany
45': And we're back!
45' (+1): And the first half is over. In the last play we could see that the Croatians will not make it easier for Germany, 5 Croatian forwards moving up!

26': Nasty sliding tackle by Dario Srna on Podolski. Free kick and yellow card for the goal scorer
