OK, everyone chip in: who wins Sunday's big game between the Turks and the Czechs? This is seting up to be a thriller. No need for penalty kicks I assure.

My thoughts are the Turks' skill will edge their historical nemesis this time. And the winner needs to be watched out going into the quarters as they will be beaming with confidence.

I believe and hope Turkey will advance to the Quarter Final.
Played opening game against to one of the Tournament favorite (Portugal), than played against to nerv game versus host country (Switzerland),
Now, Turkey looks more relax and confident and full of moralie motivate.
I think this will helps a lot versus Czech game for Turks.

my prediction is; 2-1 or 1-0 .

Good luck Turkey.

I say Turkey. Have not been too impressed with Czech Republic so far. Also Turkey are on a high after winning their game while the Czech's are reeling from a 3-1 defeat so the momentum is with Turkey.

All in all not really a lot to choose from between these two teams. Both were a class below Portgual and got lucky wins against Switzerland. Could see it being a penalty shoot out but I don't see Czech Rep winning in normal time.

IMO - Penalty shoot

[Todorov]

The Czechs have a slight theoretical advantage in terms of sheer quality but the Turks have a good team as well. It will be an even match, perhaps only to be decided on a penalty shoot-out.

I'd say the Czechs win, although you can't count Turkey out. I'd be pleased with any of them going through, since I admire some players from both sides and I sympathize with both countries as well.

I hope there are plenty of goals for the competition's benefit. A "Czech Rep. 3-3 Turkey" would be great.

I think neither side wants to leave this thing to Pk's. So, an attack-minded game will prevail and I am not sure about 3-3, but I agree with you, it could be a high scoring game.
Looking forward to it--I think it will be one of the tournament's best games . They are both quality teams.

i say 2-1 Czech Rep.

[Pit-182]

IMHO Turkey will play a great game but won't score, and at around 80' Czechs will do a casual and lucky goal... Turkey out.

Turks have a great midfield, good technique and inspiration, while Czechs are organized better and have a marvellous defense.

A very close match. Could be dramatic in the end.

This can really just go in the match thread in future.
