vs. Poland at local pubs, ESPN |

It does not look
like Poland can advance out of the group B in the Euro 2008
soccer cup. After Poland's 0:2 defeat with Germany and an
unlucky 1:1 draw with Austria in the 92nd minute, Croatia dashed
Polish hopes by beating Germany 2:1 and securing one of the
premium spots. The last game against Croatia is likely just for
show.
