I'm just disappointed that Cech, who is a world class keeper, was able to make such a devastating mistake, he has saved the team so often but there he couldn't...

Just amazing how the the turks turned the game around. They deserved this so much more than the czechs who played their boring longball tactic again.

Man of the match for me Altintop. Amazing game from him defensive and offensive.

You get a ball player on to run down the minutes. The Czechs didnt do this.

Shocking result. I thought for sure we were going to penalties. After the tying goal I went to the bathroom and before I flushed the toilet I heard the guy screaming on the TV, I thought someone got a red card and then I find out Turkey netted another one!

**LAF** · 15-06-2008, 09:14 PM

In terms of drama, we'll do well to see a better 45 minutes this tournament.

Gutted for Cech though, he comes across as one of the good guys in football.

**kyan** · 15-06-2008, 09:16 PM

What a game!!! Surely the best game of the tournament so far??

Unbelievable recovery, Nihat's second goal... oh my! He was my MOTM, kept going till the end and generally was the main Turkish threat and got his just rewards.

You've gotta feel sorry for the Czechs to an extent but they sat back and got a bit lucky with their second goal where the Turkish defender wasn't allowed back on the pitch, and even in their game v Switzerland with the missed calls but still, this team was over the hill and in the end it showed.

Since when did Grygera learn to cross? He sent in more dangerous crosses in 3 games than he did all season with Juve.

**kyan** · 15-06-2008, 09:22 PM

Does anyone actually know why Volkan pushed Koller?

He signalled that Koller was saying something, still not really excusable but would be interesting to find out what it was.

LaVecchiaSignora · 15-06-2008, 09:24 PM

All i can say is wow the czech blew it..

imagine what would have happened if they scored again after the keeper got a red card and then it went to pk's with a defender playing keeper........

**Trim** · 15-06-2008, 09:28 PM

The official Man of the Match is Nihat Kahveci (Turkey).
