Observations on the game today:
1.  I was ridiculously entertained.  Thought it was 10x better than Croatia v. Russia.
2.  England's top gun missed two consecutive point blank shots.  Ouch.  Massive choke.
3.  Almost all of Croatia's team is over 6' tall.  A nation of 4 million.  Seems like that should put to bed the odd argument I've heard from some soccer buffs that shorter guys have an advantage.  Seems the opposite may be true.
4.  English goalie is a DB.  Guy was standing over the "injured" Croat and screaming like an idiot.  A few minutes later, BOOM, goal.  Game over.  That's called damn-near-instant-Karma.  Hilarious.  When I saw who scored the goal, I was laughing heartily.
5.  Croatia dominated the game after the half.  England didn't do much after their first goal, notwithstanding several nice opportunities.  Croatia goaltender didn't have to do much work.  Croatia seemed in better shape prior to the subs coming in.
6.  Header pass that led to the final goal of the game was just absolutely sick.
7.  Croatia seemed to get away with a lot of obvious pushes in the 1/2 half.
8.  The diving is ridiculous.
