The whistle of the ref is amped, you cannot mistake it.

Offside at the shot, not offside at the bounce.

The lineman got it all mixed up.

Italy deserved a win.
Nice game.

Spain stuck in one gear and not looking very fresh.

Totally different Italian team to that I was expecting, they've got to be considered a good contender this year.

[KoTeMoRe]

Well that was quick.

3-1 Croatia. Poor Irish are getting their derrières badly whooped.

[epictetus]

Holy crap, Croatia is def not kidding around! Great game so far!

[WolverineBlue]

Given with a face full of charlie after his own goal lol

[KoTeMoRe]

Damn Croats are going to defend that 2 point lead dearly.

A lucky win for Croatia.. too bad the Ref didnt give the Irish that penalty, it would have been a better game from there on..

[Dirtydiaper]

[Drax]

for Croatia, probably one of the most physically fit teams in the finals. Good to see them keeping their cool despite all the sneaky elbows and knees from the Irish.

I don't get this :/
How is Russia the most effective team and Spain the least effective according to these numbers?
To me Russia seems to be in the middle in total passes and positive percentage while Spain and the Netherlands are on top respectively. ^^

He takes number of passes and divides them by number of goals.
