Key for Croatia to cover +1.5 is their def play. As long as the def does not make too many mistakes they should be able to launch some counterattacks.
Don`t think Croatia has a week team. I just want to mention some players and their clubs.
Klasnic (Werder Bremen, Bundesliga)
Prso (Glasgow Rangers, SPL)
Babic (Bayer Leverkusen, Bundesliga)
Simic (AC Milan, Serie A)
Tudor (Siena, Serie A)
Kovac (Juventus Torino, Serie A)
Simunic (Hertha BSC, Bundesliga)
The stadium will be packed with Croatian fans (many Croatians life in Germany).

I have a team tournament ticket 7 for Ecuador. That means that I will definitely be at the semis and the final. I sold the tickets against Poland and CR. I will be at the match Germany - Ecuador in Berlin. In case Ecuador makes it to stage 2 I will sell the tickets for the round of 16 and 8. In case they are out I will "go" with the winner of the group which is most likely Germany. I was really shocked by the loss of Poland against Ecuador because I thought they were the stronger side.Bennyshoe said:

The past two World Cups Brazil has struggled a tad to start. I certainly advocate betting against Brazil more so in the first group game rather than the other two. In 02 they beat Turkey 2-1 and in 98 they beat Scotland 2-1 in their first matches, but the other group games they thrashed their opponents. BOL
