But the turks would not have won if cech was in good form. I feel pity for him. It was like Oli Kahn in world cup final. But the last goal by Nihat was class. But Cech conceded so many goals. He should have saved some at least.
I don't agree with you, he was in good form. He should've saved some? He saved many till that minute He hasn't done any mistake except for the 2nd goal, and that was because of the rain.
I wish We will beat Croatia, Turkey play good game only 30 or 40 minutes, If we play full time, We will be in final.
It would be hard for you after your goalkeeper got red card and Aurelio has to miss the game too. Also I've heard that one defender is questionable due to the injury... Also, we have a very good team. Not saying as Croat, IMO Croatia has a little bit better team, but on the other side everything is possible in one match... My prediction is 75% for CRO, 25% for Turkey. result 3:1...
Croatian reserves played great match with Poland and I am very happy for Ivan Klasnic who scored the winner. It is really worth mentioning that he is the only player who ever played on big tournament after kidney transplatation and he even managed to score and to be man of the match!
Yeah Croatian did excellent job and won the match by 1-0. It was good results for Germany too but referee killed the match by sending off both coaches.
I would like the turks to win the Q/F they are easyer to beat. @Rohit patel the refree was a fockin idiot. He only made wrong decisions. both coaches were just arguing about him and there was no strugggle between them. Second thing was the scoring opportunity of germany in the second half it definetly wasn'T offside. why did this incedible bad mario gomez play again? seems like he was the twelfth austrian on the field
We have a good reserve keeper, Rüştü Reçber, former Barça, also Emre Belözoğlu, former Internazionale, to replace Aurelio. However, you are right Croatia has better chances on paper, i'm sure it'll be one great game with two passionate teams. The winner of the serie will likely meet Portugal in the semis. My prediction is 1:1 at full time and we'll advance on extra time.
I know about Rustu Recber, he is indeed great GK. IMO, Aurelio not playing is greater handicap... We lost Knezevic (Livorno defender) but he entered games in second half and we have good replacements for him ...
LOL, this is what it seems after 1st round matches, anyway you know, these kind of teams - Germany, Brasil, etc..- use to become as dangerous as the match is important... Obviously I'm hoping Croatia to reach the semifinals, at least
Thanks goes to the Dutch for helping Italy get through Up against it though next game without Perlo and Gatuzo
Wasn't Emre Belozoglu injured ? He missed the last two Turkish games. Rustu is decent, but age would have affected his skills. On paper I'd have to fancy Croatia. Turkey seem to play well during a particular period, and if Croatia are consistent over ninety minutes, they should take it.
great game, congrats! You ate them alive, I was impressed by the physical conditions of your players, chezhs were tired already at 70th minute.
This was just the answer to "I would like the turks to win the Q/F they are easyer to beat." Germany is very hard team to play against and I really think that Portugal vs. Germany will be final before final and IMO the odds are 50:50. As a Croat I really do hope we will win over Turkey but it will definitely be extremely hard match. Wish to see Germans in the SF
