Yipchaa!
Koller and Plasil are both in my ff team
Apparently you have to confrim team changes when you swap your sub, so instead of Koller, Larsson was playing That lost me six points
What a way to lose £450.

get the fuck in, what a game (well, second half)
Fucking typical, I missed that after getting an early night because I'd stayed up so late the previous few nights

I turned it on when seconds before the first Turkey goal. Win!
Yet another dramatic game!
I missed about 75 mins of the match since i was out with a mate, and by chance checked on the score update on my mobile. With the score being 2-0 you'd that that with the experience that the Czech's have got in their team, they would close out a game. Had enough opportunities in the second half to seal it.
But the Turks (or Captain Kirk's) produce an even better comeback than their previous match against the Swiss. Turkey showed commendable fight, spirit, never say die attitude. A deserved win for them & Petr Cech's stunning blunder will probably shown on TV programmes or an DVD compilation of Footballing gaffes. It just shows that even a goal such as Cech can make mistakes. As already said he'll have sleepless nights over that incident.
I reckon this match was won by a few factors:
1. The inability of the Czechs to offer any resistance outside of a big target man Jan Koller up front
2. The amount of ground covered by all the Turks, especially Boro striker Tuncay Sanli
3. Individual brilliance by Turan Arda, and of course
4. Nihat - What an inspirational performance by a talented and very experienced striker. Great positioning in keeping on side after receiving the through ball on the inside by Hamit Altintop (after Jankulovski didn't clear the danger).
Right place right time, and the totally composed finish for that wining third goal was an absolute peach
The Turkish goalie Volkan was right tit for pushing Koller in the penalty area, although he may have been proved by the big Czech. It's no excuse for doing it. I think a certain Rustu Recber will replace Volkan for the match against Croatia on Friday evening.
On this showing Croatia cannot underestimate this team or take them lightly. While the Turkish coach (Faith Terim) has to pick his best team and most experienced team if they are to have any chance of beating the Croatian's
Yet another unbelieveable game of international tournament football, Excellent second half. The second half finish was imo the most dramatic since Spain beat Yugoslavia 4-3 in Euro 2000!

I was at a restaurant celebrating my birthday....there was a TV about thirty yards away so I could just about detect when somebody had scored.

Interesting fact: Turks do not like the country being called "Turkey" and prefer you to say "Turkiye".
True. It is the unflattering synonym which offends them apparently.

Yeah, that's what my girlfriend (lived and worked in Izmir for three years) said.
She is correct. Of course you have to do the umlat as well and say: "Toorkiyeh."

shut it you egg!
Surprisingly quiet round our way after this result, i think Turkiye are keeping their powder dry for bigger things. Bit of horn hooting but none of the pandemonium we witnessed following the WC last time round.

It's a shame that Poland probably won't get to play Turkey in the later stages. That would have been interesting down in the local shops.

that or isreal!!
Was that Kollers last international game then?poor old Peter"not the best goalie in the world anymore"Cech
I haven't read the thread so apols if it's been said already, but I much as I dislike Chelsea, Cech's honest and dignity in his post match interview was quite inspiring.

^ Agreed. People being a bit harsh on him imo.

Is a great bunch of lads.....
Tbh Cech's seems to be one of the nicer Chelsea players,plus he sued Kelvin Mckenzie a few years ago which makes him sound in my eyes
