If there's a loser, as opposed to a draw, in this match, it's going to be very difficult for that team to reach the knockout phase after each losing in their respective openers. Croatia might have played better than the scoreline suggested vs. Spain, victimized by some quick thunderbolts, and Albania was on top of Italy very early on Saturday night thanks to a fastest-ever Euros goal from Nedim Bajrami. No ready to bury the Croats just yet, with the core of a great generation still contributing led by Luka Modric and Marcelo Brozovic, and a transition to a new wave underway; this figured as a "bridge" tourney for the Croats, who did become the first team to out-possess Spain since the 2008 Euro finale, for what that's worth. Albania was also moving forward much of the night vs. Italy, and suspect these sides can clear two goals at Hamburg. Play Croatia-Albania "Over"
