Croatia (Elvir Islamović, @UEFAcomElvirI)

"It wasn't good," said Slaven Bilić of his soide's last EURO 2012 warm-up match against Norway in Oslo (1-1), "but, there are reasons for that. The training has been hard and legs are heavy now. It's not the time to ring any alarm bells yet, there is still enough time before EURO," added Bilić, who rested key players Luka Modrić and Vedran Ćorluka. Ivica Olić sustained a muscle strain but he should recover in time.

The Croatian media were largely disappointed with Croatia's performance and 24sata published the headline: 'A match to forget: draw in Oslo, headache for Bilić'. Vecernji list took a similar line: 'Headache in Oslo' and Jutarnji list ran with: 'Faceless Croatia, Eduardo and Pletikosa saved the team'. The press are hoping for improvement in the opening EURO 2012 match against Republic of Ireland on 10 June.
