Austria V Poland

[NorthernLights24]

Austria playing well, Poland are the opposite. Austria with 3 really good chances to take the lead but Boruc has kept them in it. The Polish defence looks poor and can be carved open with ease it would seem.

Typical, Poland have done bugger all and now have gone and taken the lead!

Quality game I thought. If Austria had a striker they'd have been 5-0 up.

 

Great refereeing by Howard Webb for the penalty

 

The Austrians deserved at least a draw. Boruc MOTM

They're both v. poor teams.

 

The ref got it spot on, about time one of them gave a penalty for shirt pulling, that hun that plays for Greece was the worst for it, hopefully it'll make others think twice about doing it.

[K-9]

Why did Webb not give a penalty earlier in the game when same was happening at every corner and free kick?

who knows!!

 

the refereeing has been poor IMO. Austria should have had 2 pens in their first game and the refs seem hell bent on making football a non contact sport at this tournament

Good summary of the game. I thought it was an enjoyable game to watch, one of the better ones of the tournament so far, although the two commentators seemed hell-bent on picking flaws at anytime they saw fit just because the game involved two of the more unfashionable teams of the tourney. If the game involved the likes of a Holland or Portugal they would have been salivating at the mouth at some of the play rather than being negative at every opportunity.
