I knew this would be the most entertaining match, Damn Nihat is a beast, he single handedly helped them to qualify and now hes put them through to the quarters. *Waits for Croatia game.*

Wow that was insane, one of the best comebacks, (next to 1999 ofcourse  :biggrin:).

Turkey are without their best keeper now, it was a stupid thing to do.  :down:

They got Rustu on bench they should be alright. I'm more concerned about Mehmet Aurellio missing the next game due to the yellow cards hes accumulated.

Here come the stupid yellow cards that ruin so many good tournament games. The limit should be increased so the quality of teams doesn't fall off. With referees being so inconsistent, you never know when you can get a yellow.

Anyways, great comeback by the Turks. I figured they'd have a pretty good tournament. I do feel bad for Cech though. Just before he made his mistake, I was praising him for being so consistent and being able to avoid silly mistakes. He proved me wrong at the worst time possible.

He was keeping the Czechs in the tournament, and then when it really mattered he let them down.

As far as the other game is concerned, I didn't watch it because it was on at the same time. The second team for Portugal looked good on paper but I guess that's about it. You would think they'd win but that didn't happen. Although some of Scolari's player choices seem shaddy, he seems to make the right decisions in the end.

Yeah the yellow cards are really stupid. Today in the Italy v France game there were so many yellows, and not to mention that red card. Baros got a yellow and he was sitting on the bench.  :rolleyes:

I thought Quaresma would be more impressive, but Nani was super. He was diving a lot, but maybe he'll settle down like Ronaldo.

Nani is hot-headed like Ronaldo was, i say Quaresma's better, Scolari's just gotta give him a chance
