Are we in for another big surprise, this time in Turkey???
With Turkey only 2 wins away from becoming the EURO Champs, does this remind you of last Euro???
Another omen was the Milan - Liverpool Finals repeated both in Istanbul and Athens with the outcome in reverse???

Waddya mean? Bore the hell out of everybody, passing the ball along the back four, putting 10 players behind the halfway line and waiting for a corner and then....... BAM!

Nah, Turkey are winning with some sort of style at least.

What the hell are you saying? Turkey played a marvelous first half and played well in extra time. Second half was of course mostly defending, but apparently people have short attention spans and remember only what will make them sound interesting at the time of posting. Go become a BigSoccer blogger if your going to be like that.

OK, cut him a break...he misinterpreted the comments.

Turkiye plays a risky, attacking at all cost, and entertaining game. I would like to see them take it all the way for their courage after watching the so called "powers" for a long time, displaying defensive football based on a few counterattacks for a measly score. A European exception to this besides Turkiye is England. They also take no prisoners in their style, and risk not qualifying as they just have done.

Many people make the mistake of underestimating Turkish soccer. Let me set the stage for you...soccer in Turkiye has become like religion..they play it, talk it, sleep it 24X7! There are so many soccer shows on TV stations where soccer brains of Turkiye disect almost each play and player every day. With a 70 million population and this heightened interest in the game especially over the last 20 years, it is no surprise they have been leaving a mark on the scene the last ten years. Turkish soccer will be a power to deal with for the upcoming decades. There are many more Arda's and Nihat's and Emre's in the making.

More like posting in the wrong thread. Apparently I wrote it without ever noticing where I was posting and that I was posting the wrong quote. Sorry. Oh, well, at least I didn't get any neg rep. That match had me a little delirious.

It's gonna be tough to get through Germany and Italy, but let me tell you
I'll be rooting for them
If they get to the final and it's again Spain, they'll take it for sure.
