Lame. Can't wait for Italy to get ousted.

I'm not sure what there is to complain about.
Italy and Croatia both beat Ireland by 2 goals, while Italy matched Spain and Croatia didn't.
I don't see how Croatia has anything to complain about. If they wanted to prove they were equal with Spain and Italy they had to perform against them.
Italy proved it against Spain and Croatia didn't, end of story.
Edit: and Italy qualified with 5 pts, Croatia had 4 pts. What's to complain about?
Edit2: nm you posted that when it was 0-0.
