Total skill Laçi

Croatia 2 - 2 Albania

So a delayed word about Croatia v Albania, a chaotic and open affair which went this way and that. Laçi with a fine headed opener and Albania continued to threaten despite not having a lot of the ball.

When yet another own goal went in (are we up to 7 now in the tourney?) Albania looked buried but their 95th minute equaliser gives them a sniff. What looks most likely of course is that they will become the makeweights for some other 3rd place team to make it through, potentially with as little as 2 points to their name. 

What we have guaranteed is that all the remaining games in Group B will be excellent. Spain v Italy is an absolute stonker, and perfect antidote to the (possible) Southgate-sedative tomorrow, and then of course the final games where Croatia and Albania will be going full nuts out Vs Italy and Spain respectively on Monday. 

Lovely.
