Posted on 2008-06-15 by Gooner

Croatia have beaten both Austria and Germany and are confirmed as winners, leaving Germany and Austria fighting for the runners up spot.

GROUP C
The Netherlands have been stunning in thrashing both Italy and France by three clear goals.

Romania, France and Italy are all battling for the second qualification spot on the final day in this quality group.
