Amazing Comeback by Turkey!

what a way to light up teh evening! As the world watched Euro 2008, all seemed lost for the Turks as they trailed 2-0 to the Czech Republic in the final group qualifier. The winner was to move to the Quarter Finals against Croatia and incase of an unlikely draw penality shootout were to be expected.

As the half-time whistle blew Turkey trailed by 2-0. Milan Baros and Andra Schevchenko may not be playing but the Czech were agressive and calculated breaking free and making the most of their oppurtunities.

In the second half it seemed new life had sprung into the Turks. They moved lightly and retained posession making some beautiful moves. It finally fell for them in the 75th minute when from the top of the D the first goal was scored. As new breath poured in goals were scored in the 87th and 89th win to cement an eventful and outstanding comeback from the Turks. The Turkish goalkeeper was sent off in the 91st minute for pushing Koller but those worries were for another day.

Right now the Turks deserve a break and a night of relaxing and partying...

Go TURKEY!!!
