Croatia escapes defeat against Iran - Iran had Croatia on the edge of defeat, just a 97' minute penalty by Babic prevented Croatia from the first home defeat since 1992[...] While the three-times Asian Champions especially in first half repeatedly managed to convince in offense, Croatia suffered a big setback only five days after defeating Austria by 4-1.

Oct 10, 2008 - Iran deserved the win an underdog team played Croatia at home and only a cheap penalty and a wrong offside decision prevented embarrassment for Croatia.

Oct 10, 2008 - Iranians, don't get fooled by professionnal deceivers."croats" claimed they were anything, in their poor "history" of butchers.

Oct 10, 2008 - Well, if we ever have to lose at home, let it be Iran who will beat us :) BTW this wasn't played in the capital city, on the stadium we usually play... I don't know if this match was a competitive or not. Croatia have lost few games at home, but those were friendly matches. They never lost a competitive match since Croatia's independence in 1991. If this was competitive, they I guess we were very lucky...

Oct 10, 2008 - Iran was very lucky in this game. I watched the entire game.

Oct 10, 2008 - man i cant believe turkey beat u guys :( u should have went to the finals considering, how you would have beaten Germany!! :D
uNkNoWnGuY89 Says:
Oct 10, 2008 - Yes, unfortunately... But for me this isn't a defeat. Defeat would be if they were better and outplayed us in entire game, not last few seconds. They were lucky, we didn't score more goals, and we paid a high price. I think it was unjustice, referee didn't whistle on time, he should have. Our players laid down too much in last seconds and lost. Penalty kicks are a lottery, where they won. But in the game it was us who were better. Just wait until Eduardo is back, we'll eat Turkey next time...
