Amazing stuff. Zero goals for 118 minutes, then two goals in two minutes for a 1-1 draw after ET. That's incredible.

0-1 in 119th min
1-1 in 120th min

Turkey have to be the most exciting team so far.

 

[red+black]

Obviously destined to go to penalties. What a weird finish.

 

[red+black]

Turkey through to the semi. Germany through to the final.

I wouldnt say exciting, since they dont look that special during normal play until about the 90th minute.

I'm sick of teams scoring and then thinking the game is over. I've seen it numerous times so far. Its just stupid football.

And 10 minutes before extra time you could see the Croatian team was very tired. It showed in the penalties.

 

[Boro]

Croatias midfield is way too strong for Turkey I think. Billic wont let his team choke like the Czechs did

I hope you aren't betting on all these predictions you keep giving

Fantastic win for the Turks. Ridiculous yellow card given to Tuncay means he'll miss the semi Still, Turkey will win

Dude, just get out of this football board.

Dude, just get out of this football board.

So you're a Turk, get over yourself . Germany will smash you.

You've been around for just a couple months, why don't you ____ off?

 

[numchuks]

OMG.

Speachless.

Love you too bro

Just forget about it mate.

They were saying the same shit against the Czechs and Croats.

Let them underestimate us, just makes the victory sweeter

 

[apollo_creed]

oh it will be good when Germany knock Turkey out.

 

[Bradesmaen]

lol I still have 2 teams left in the sweep out of 6 Go Netherlands!

 

[Embers]

If Croatia only had one more decent striker.... Still, getting sick of seeing Turkey pulling flukey results out of their arse. Send them home Germany

 

[DonMania#5]

Funny game, no goal for 118 minutes then two in two minutes. Well done to the Turks.

 

[Lowie01]

Turkey should start every game a goal down, it's when they do their best work. Croatia don't deal with the tag of favourites that well, it's in their interest to be the underdog.

Once or twice is a fluke mate.

Three times in a row is just pure class.

Winning in the last kick of the game is never class, no matter what way you look at it. You didnt even win. You tied with the last kick of the game....

What is with the sour grapes Embers? Winning with the last kick is about grit, determination as well as a bit of luck and class. Two fantastic finishes in the last second have given Turkey their wins.

Was Man U's CL win in 99 all luck or was there a touch of class in that?

There is someone in this thread with a distinct lack of class at the moment, but it isn't Turkey

If Turkey win this its gonna become a Mickey Mouse cup I fear. The best team has to win for the integrity of the competition.

I just dont think they deserve to be where they are. A bit of luck is a understatement. If someone from Croatia kicked that ball into the stands where it belongs we wouldnt be having this conversation. Seems like they are being rewarded for others errors more then there own good fortune IMO.

Czechs and Croatia both made horrible errors that brought them into the game. Not the way a tournament should be decided im afraid

Nah i gave up after the Sweden Russia game. I still ended up infront so take that biatch . Im having a shocker. Im third last in my tipping comp at work which is great amusement for everyone because I romped home in style in the EPl tipping contest

 

[MagpieScouser]

i think embers has a huge chip on his shoulders

 

[Waite_30]

That was unbelievabe. We never say die.

We were missing Emre, Servet (best central defender), Volkan (no.1 goalkeeper) and Aurelio (no.1 defensive midfielder) and we played a make-shift right back.

Arda, Tuncay and possible Nihat will miss Germany's game.

Go the Turks!!

This tournament is doing nothing to change my dislike for Turkey.

Come on mate, how can you dislike a team that plays in those jersey's? It's just like watching Boro run around
