I just watched the repeat of the Austria-Poland game and I can't believe the Poles screwed that up - aaaaargggggghhhhhhhhh!!!!!!! To be fair, the Austrians should have scored at least 1 or 2 or even 3 in the first 15 minutes, but that was still a huge chokejob, and I think has pretty well screwed them as far as advancing goes. The Poles needed these 3 points, as you can be almost certain the Germans aren't going to get beat again.
Maybe the Germans weren't as creative as I thought, and the Polish defence is just brutal. There were some absolutely clueless decisions out there by the Polish defenders that should have cost them, and only the keeper had his head in the game before the 2nd half.
The announcer alluded to "problems" with the Polish team; I can believe it, as they have played some terribly undisciplined football. It's going to take a miracle now for my boys to get anywhere...
