Well done Turkey

I must congratulate Turkey on a superb performance against Germany. With such a reduced squad through injury and bans they put in a really good performance. They really deserved a better result for their effort. Their fans should be proud of them.
Cheers Norman.

Did not watch the match and I had no preference either way, but the 'sports round-up' guy said that the result should have gone Turkey's way :shock:

Glad to see everyone congratulating the team with the most fouls and yellow/red cards in the tournament.

If they could have had a bigger squad, they could have beat Germany as well (to death probably).

Excellent play and sportsmanship!!!!!!!!!

We are talking football here , politics aside Turkey played much better than Germany .
Germany did not deserve to be in the final , as for red cards yellow cards pushing and shoving all teams do it.
Looks like Spain might just do it !

CBBB,well spotted, it is nice (great even) to learn that there are still some people capable of expressing their own opinions. :)

I was never much good at playing 'Follow the Leader' myself, bet YOU weren't either.

Is it true that the Turks 'Invaded the pitch' after the game ?, :shock: Oh well, 'Old Habits Die Hard !' :lol: :lol: :wink:

Turkey played better than Germany and deserved to go through. I was at the Corner Pub in Nicosia watching the game and when Turkey scored the first goal, astonishingly, there were a few cheers. May be these were people that had a flatter on Turkey but I sensed that as the matched progressed, Turkey gained the sympathy of many people, through the sheer effort the players put in this game.

Anyway, I supported Turkey because by habit I always support the underdog. Linking sport to politics is a cretin habit that many Cypriots have.

Where did I link sports to politics?

I was merely stating what I heard on the BBC (sorry I wasn't thinking, it must have been propaganda again!).
