Bilic did make changes and it was the other way around as your boys raped us.
First of all congrats to Croatia and their coach as their energetic and passionate play lead to this great win.
Now to this arrogant, selfish shadow of team that was Germany on that night. They thought that just because they were germany then thats enough for the win.All the methodologies that Klinsi implemented have gone up to smoke. The teamwork environment between the members has disappeared and that was apparent from the first game. The team needs to get its act together or we won't even make it out of the group.
I didn't like the way Low handled the game as well.I could understand Jansen's substitution as lahm played better on the left. But his insistence on a very very average Klose is simply understandable. Klose was average in the poland game and he was way worst against Croatia but still he completed the 90 minutes. A player that his movement was his strongest point has now lost that but he still manages to get 90mins.
The team might get out of the group but i dont think they could overcome Portugal and i think they will have an easy game in that quarter final.

The thing is that they need to transform their attitude or another spanking is on the way, maybe not by Austria but surely from Portugal.
The way they get up in the next two games will be as much of a testament about their attitude as players as it is to the abilities of Loew ( who didn't convince many people yet)
And maher , I dont think there is much between Germany and Spain. Neither Sweden or Russia can come close to Croatia from what i have seen.

In case someone's interested in Croatia's starting line up ( for those who have Modric, Corluka, Kranjcar in their fantasy teams), this is how will Bilic start tonight :
Pletikosa
Šimić-Vejić-Knežević-Pranjić
Leko-Vukojević-Pokrivač-Rakitić
Petrić-Klasnić
Only 3 players from the match vs Austria (Pletikosa, Pranjić, Petrić) and 3 players from the match vs Germany (Pletikosa, Pranjić, Rakitić)

Hmmm... 
I can't believe how good we played with a second string team, especially in the first half. If Klasnic still had all his kidneys, we probably would have won 3:0.
9 points..yeah baby.

I was sure we'll destroy Austria, just as i was sure Germany will destroy us and Poland will easily beat our reserve players.
