Frankenstein Jambo. Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 Pretty poor game. Croatia have been the better team IMO but it has been a pretty poor performance never the less. The Turkish have sufferd from a lot of injuries so to take croatia to extra time deserves some credit. I hope the turks go on and create an upset.

Toggie88 Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 Croatia should be a few up and should win in extra time, the Turks might sneak it again though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chester copperpot Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 Croatia should be a few up and should win in extra time, the Turks might sneak it again though. The Turks seem to have some energy, keep coming strong at the end of games. Wonder if Mad Eddie is helping them out with their wheelbarrow races and starjumps.

chester copperpot Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 Germany must be rubbing there hands looking at this game. The germans will steam roller any of the two team in the semi's Even though the Croats came through the game winning easy against Germany, I tipped the Germans to beat Portugal last night (67 quid return ) and I think they will beat either team in the Semi's. Germany only come alive once they get oot the group stages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coppercrutch Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 My son thought that the croats bottled it.SNAP I would say they won it. Then they gave it away. Then they bottled it. After all going into the penalties they were in exactly the same situation they were in 1 minute 30 seconds before. If that had been Germany or Italy they STILL would have won it on penalties. Well, more than likely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Old Tolbooth Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 If that was Scotland that lost in that fashion I'd be in tears! It's really hard not to feel desperately sorry for Croatia and their fans as they deserved to win that game, however you just gotta love the Turks never say die attitude, and I really hope that Germany go 1 up in the semi cos then were gonna have mayhem from the Turks as they go kimikaze for a goal! C'mon the Turks in the semi!!!!! (Oh and for all the folk that's slagged me on this thread, I hope yer next turds a hedgehog ya bams!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jambojim52 Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 Why did the ref refuse to allow a sub for Croatia after they scored? Why did he play 1min 30 sec of injury time at the end? This is not over. Won't change the result, but I bet Croatia will have something to say about it in the press. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torres Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 They've not really. Come out and blaming themselves for not being able to defend after scoring. Amount of time added on was probably right due the celebrations by Croatia taking a bit longer than normal due to them thinking they'd won it. They're hardly Greece #2 either. Turkey have never just sat back trying to defend and have played some decent football apart from the first game v Portugal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deutschland will see 'em off - before reducing either the Dutch or Italians to tears in the final too (and if it's the latter, you - with your 21-1 - as well... ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
