Austria at least deserved a draw if you asked me. They played (way) better football over a pretty long period of time - it's just a shame that they can't finish it with a goal. Germany played pretty bad if you ask me; I don't see them standing a chance against Portugal.

Haven't seen the other match - however it's good for Klasnic that he scored, he was quite unlucky this season if I remember correctly.

He suffered a kidney failure, then had a kidney transplant... the kidney got rejected by his body and he undertook another kidney transplant. First player to play on the Euro tournament with a donated organ afaik.
Yes, that's why he was out of play - but also in the matches he played for Werder when he finally was able to, he didn't have luck on his side though... So I'm really glad for him he scored :) He's very sympathetic to me for some reason... I've always liked him.

Croatia has been considered the dark horse of this tournament before it even started and so far, they are justifying it. I can easily see Croatia in the semi finals, especially facing a team like Turkey which will run out of ammo and luck against Croatia.

I totally agree, besides the goal (which was really a neat free kick) Germany played awful - or at least worse than Austria. Wonder what would've happenend though if Gomez scored in the beginning.

As for today, I hope to see France on second place but I have the feeling it's gonna be Romania ;)

      Thanks free chatgpt. The issue is, with most browsers, is you shouldn't need tools to remove anything. It is the whole point of extensions. The only browser so far to man up and be honest that it needs money to function is Brave Origin. Don't like the monetisation and code bloat, have a clean browser for a one off $ charge. Firefox used to be that, but now it is a code bloat browser, hiding AI.
