czezh republic coach karle bruckner after the match.
"Firstly congratulations to the Ghana team. We don't take injury and tiredness as excuses for our defeat because our opponents played splendid attacking football today. We made defensive errors and our rivals looked constantly dangerous with their excellent midfielders.
We had two important players missing due to injuries in this game (strikers Milan Baros and Jan Koller) and Vratislav Lokvenc will be banned for the next match. We have yet to decide on the replacements but we need to bring young players in to strengthen the team."
all class. why can't all managers be like that?

Good Stuff! No doubt it's a fabulous experience so have a great time, I'm sure you will. I envy you very much (thats a good thing). I just hope our boys make semi finals coz thats when I arrive in Germany*Minka* said:
. Have a great day!A tidbit I feel like sharing:
Our of all of us here, Me, My brother and his boyfriend, My brother and his girlfriend and a bunch of our friends and cousins, we have ALL chosen to support the Aussie in their match tonight instead of going to the Croatia one. To put it in prespective, each one of us was born in Croatia, lived there a large chunk of our lives, but this seems to have really shown us how much we love THIS COUNTRY.
I mean, if I am being honest, if this was 1998, there was no question what I would have done. It would have been Croatia all the way - I was a Croatian who lived here because they blew my home to pieces and killed half my family. I didn't feel AUstralian at that point, in 2001, I wanted us to make it, I was starting to feel like I kinda belonged a bit now?
But now? I am Australian. And I am behind out boys 100%.
(P.S - The good thing about travelling with your close guy cousins and brothers is that they will always give you a bed while they take the uncomfortable couch or floor!)

That's brilliant by the Czech manager. Actually accepting defeat is a rare sight in football, soak it in.

Oh fabulous, you are going to have an awesome time when you get here! That is when we were meant to be coming here, but a while ago, my grandfather called me and my brothers into his study, gave us each a cheque from the money he'd be saving since he arrived here for 'something special' and said 'you kids are going to Australia v Brazil and Australia v Croatia'. I told him he couldn't do that, but he insisted it was what he wanted and well, we are here now and habing the best time.otay said:Good Stuff!
