Cech with another of those "rare" mistakes that are becoming fairly common for him these days. Although the Turkish keeper did his best to catch up in the keeper stupidity stakes. Rustu in the next round ! :club:

I am disgusted with the way we played in the first half but i haven't seen a more miserable team than Czechs after 60th minute.I don't know if we will be able to pass Croatia , i don't know if we will play good or bad , win or lose but one thing i am sure of , whoever we play after this match will be very intimidated by us. Because they can never be sure what will happen next while playing against us.

Such a pathetic performance by the CR after 65th minute or so...unbelievable...Really great team spirit of the Turks, I have to admit, even though I was rooting for the czechs...That is why I will also say they got lucky that the ref didn't spot that foul in the turkish box right after the czechs hit the post...idk what minute this was...still, congrats Turkey, I don't think they'll beat Croatia, but I also didn't think Greece could win the Euro 04...lol

i switched the game on with 70 minutes gone and it was 2-0 to the czechs but i gotta say that was 25 of the most compelling minutes of football i have ever seen. brilliant stuff.
I turned it on for the entire second half, what a great half.

I admit I am not the biggest soccer fan...However during the World Cup and Euro I really get into it..My team Turkey today played one of the best games I as a casual soccer fan have ever seen...By the way my pick of Turkey to win the tourney isnt so far fetched after all..I bet them at 50 to 1, i just wished I bet more...lolGO TURKEY

No, what you should have done is bet on them to advance out of group. That bet would be alive and well.. your bet for them to win is still far fetched. That said, they looked good, congrats on the big win.

I agree BigD there. Realisticly it is very difficult for us to win the cup. But who knew Greece was gonna win the cup last time? Who placed a bet on them? Who thought Turkey was gonna draw let alone win before 75th minute last night? If both teams are going out to the pitch with 11 players , anything can happen. Football is not about the names of the players or teams , it is about how they play.Lastly , i choose to believe :club:

And I tell you won thing, Greece winning the last Euro was the best thing to happen to the casinos, 'cause it gives sucker partisan nationalist fans all the more reason to throw out big money on sucker futures bets LOLThat said, good luck to Turkey, I have no Dog in this hunt, and no money on any of the results, so I'm rooting for them.

:ts portugal always has bad luck vs germany . gnna be such a nerve wrecking game hopefully i am happy when its over
I hope you don't blame the 3-1 at the world cup 06 on bad luck...But considering how Germany played yesterday and has been playing the whole tourney, they are the ones who need to get lucky...Sure, the better you're opponent is, the better you are, but I highly doubt they can beat Portugal...they can't outclass them for sure. Maybe Ballack will drive another freekick into the net at around 200mph :POther than that...Go Romania today woooot :club:

Good move by Holland playing a weakend team, get to try out their subs and let robben get more match time, and if romania can beat them, then they don't have the risk of Italy or France down the road in a knock out stage, as Italy or France in a knock out match regardless of their form is a whole other beast

France - Italy will be a good match today..
sadly you were wrong. this game is a perfect example of why I hate the mandatory red card for the last defender pulling someone down. Losing a man is an incredibly stiff penalty when the team is already getting a penalty kick. It should be an automatic yellow instead imo.pretty much ruined this game.....bye bye croissant eaters.

won't work, fouls will increase by 100% when a player is going for goal, some defenders don't mind getting sent off to stop a crucial goal, this would ruin it. Helping professional fouling is not good
