UEFA EURO 2012 - Poland/Ukraine - Play-off's

As about Croatia, we lost Petrić and Kranjčar. But Petrić didn't played recently at all. What pisses me off is that Bilić is forcing that a** Kalinić to play. He even compared Kalinić to best Croatian striker of all times - Davor Šuker. That says everything about our coach.
Eduardo, Jelavić and Mandžukić should play without a doubt. They are in great form and they showed that many times.
And good thing is that Rakitić is back.

I don't think they'd put such a vital chance to make an international tourney ahead of player egos. 
Damn, that crazy Joe Šimunić! Croatian-australin said that Turkey's pants will shake in match against us. But when I see what lineup is Bilić preparing it makes me sick. They'll crush us!
Joe is awesome guy! I remember in 2008, when he said that there is no one from Austrian international team that have better technique than him. And here is proof. XD
Anyway, Joe will dress Croatian shirt for 91 time in Istanbul. He's already legend!

Croatia v Turkey - The Euro 08 QF rematch
Portugal v Bosnia - The WC2010 playoff rematch
Czech v Montenegro - The Stoics' playoff
Ireland v Estonia - "The Eighties Coming Back" playoff
Anyone who can guess the reference to that last one gets a cookie.

It should be the unofficial team anthem if they make it! XD
Are Saša Papac and Boris Pandža suspended for both legs?
Turkey - Croatia 0-3
Finally, we pay them back! With Turkey's only one shot at goal, even crowds turn the back on them, especially to Volkan which was escorted with many whistles. I expected more from Turkey! Great performance by Bilić Boys!
And fantastic comeback from Olić.
Bosnia with 0-0 against Portugal still have great chances.

So it seems that probably the only tie not decided is the BIH-POR one. Will Bosnia take any cues from Greece?
Of the teams that lost the team with the biggest chance is MNE; going by goal difference of course...

Hillarious match by Kassai, can't believe he's one of the top refs, totally killed our game.
Props to Ireland too, they had a perfect match, made no mistakes while our lack of experience showed. If it's 4-0 you can't really blame it all on the ref. The fair result would have been 2-0 or even 1-0.

BiH can be lucky with how it ended. A lot of opportunities by Portugal, and Bosnia didn't have proper chance until Ibišević came in second half. Too bad for that 1on1 that he missed in 81. And they lost Salihović for 2nd match.
Please listen to our commentator! Legend! Man lost his voice.

I can't believe we actually did it. I am delighted. Going to every game and now finally get to go to another major tournament.
Giovanni Trapattoni is a hero. Getting that group of average to decent players to play as a solid unit. It's going to suck when he's gone.
Unlucky for Estonia. Good up and coming team who will have their day. Their luck escaped them last night which you need being a smaller nation in the play offs.
