The Turks were playing with 12 men (and I don't mean the ref who gave the swiss virtually nothing)

I'm talking about Hakin Yakin who almost contrived to miss his 'goal' and didn't exactly look overjoyed at scoring it either.

Podolski didn't overly celebrate his two goals against Poland. Understandable really, I wouldn't read too much into it. As far as I'm concerned Hakan and the two other Swiss-Turks (Gökhan Inler, Eren Derdiyok) played their best against Turkey and didn't hold back.

Anyway, just got back from Switzerland. Wish I had better football memories.

Man, you got knocked out because they were better than you. You couldn't even beat the US at home. That showed right there that you were destined for doom. Your manager did the best he could do with the talent he has.

Nonsense, the talent was there to advance. We outplayed the Czechs and everything went downhill after that unfortunate loss. You really can't take the US friendly as an example. I was there in person and the US was lucky to win after two halfs of bunkering. Not to mention that we were missing around eight players.

Regardless, Euro 2008 is over for us. Time to look forward o WCQ.
