Didn't watch the game,  why so much extra time?

Serious injury to the Hungarian striker, he was taken to hospital.

Let's go Croatia!

Italy has a great goalkeeper; shame there is no squad on the same level.

I picked a draw in this so I find myself hoping Italy scores

Fuck

Germany and Italy have failed me 

Fortunately Orbanistan and Spain pulled through.

German farewell for Scotland, who they've quite liked

As Carl Anka said, "this would be funny if it were done as an act of ironic cruelty, but the fact that these are well meaning and sincere people makes it genuinely hilarious"

Seen on Reddit. All third-place countries at the time of these standings are former part of Austria-Hungary.

Not to complicate it but at the early Olympics Austria and Hungary competed separately - so who would have been in which team?

This 1913 map might help:

"Fun" fact - Hungarians, when they rebelled against the Habsburgs, exerted pressure on "their" minorities, like Croats, to "Hungarize" them. So must have sucked at the bottom of the pecking order - German-Austrians discriminating against Hungarians, Hungarians discriminating against (e.g.) Croats, etc. It's discrimination all the way down, I guess.

Do you mean 1848?  There were "fun" three-way village-burnings between Hungarians, Romanians, assortment of Southern Slavs, IIRC.

Hungarians are far from blameless (not just 1848 but policies post-1867 as well), but it is also worth noting that this was preceded by centuries of Habsburgs routinely playing the various nationalities (mostly non-Hungarians against the uppity Hungarian nobility) against each other.

BTW that last-moment Italian goal has kept Hungarian hopes alive.

Now it will just take the small task of England beating Slovenia to ensure Hungary gets through.
