The match was pretty good. A lot of football fans for sure enjoyed good football.

Israel was a good opponent to the great Croats. But stupid mistakes by the Israeli defense gave Croatia an easy two goals.

The first goal came from a penalty after a weird call by the referee from Germany, Stark. Croatian defender Simunic was fouled in the box and Stark didn't hesitate to call a penalty for Croatia.

The Israel goalkeeper was very unlucky on the penalty because he knew where Kranjcar was going to shoot, but he failed to save it.

The next goal was a pure class performance by the great Croatians. Modric gave a great assist to Kranjcar, who first played a little bit with Israel defenders and then nailed it easily with his left foot for a 2-0 lead.

Israel had good chances in the match but they were just unlucky or were stopped by the great Croat...
