croatia vs turkey

[twistedAM]

Missed it last night but watching highlights now.
this is going to be fun to see grown men cry and nation's pride take a good fucking.

 

[Donna Ferentes]

I was making the point if there are asian teams in, why not have african ones too.

Yes, but Turkey, like Russia, straddles two continents. Neither of them is Africa, but one of them is Europe.

 

[phildwyer]

The German game is going to be mental. How do Turkey keep doing it? Amazing.

It's their national character to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat. They did the same thing in their War of Independence. How I wish I was still there for this.

 

[twistedAM]

Bilic actually seems really dignified in the post-match interview but his antics after the Turkish goal (and what a goal!) surely didn't help his players in the shootout.

 

[pk]

Turkey were absolute shite, they stole it from Croatia who were far superior from the first whistle.

Load of bollocks.

Go on Germany, beat the hell out of the thieving Ali Baba bastards!

Does this work in the UK? If it does, you can see all the goals.

Doesn't work for me. Am sure some Turks have doen some sweet edits for youtube already.
For Uk viewers with Freeview, the highlights are currently on loop if you go to BBC1 and press the red button. They've edited out a lot of the Croat tears probably in deference to that oaf Adrian Chiles.

Hardly, the greater part of Turkey is Asian, its cultural identity is Asian. Russia is different as the greater populated area of Russia and cultural connection is European.

 

[phildwyer]

No, Turks identify culturally with Europe and not with Asia.

 

[Donna Ferentes]

The goal appears to have been scored at 1:01. Now assuming it wasn't exactly one minute of injury time (is the ref obliged to measure it as an exact minute?) it was probably quite legitimate.

 

[exosculate]

No, Turks identify culturally with Europe and not with Asia.

Yeah right, only the not representative cosmopolitan elite do.

 

[Gingerman]

How long did the Croats celebrate their goal? coulda made a difference to the time the ref added on at the end.

 

[twistedAM]

Watching Football Focus now and it got me thinking that if Croatia had won we'd have had that cunt Chiles all over the place.

Fucking great riddance to Croatia.

 

[Refused as fuck]

lol modric



That miss made my night.

 

[Maggot]

Wow, what a finale!

Turkey are the comeback kings.

I can't see how anyone can have anything against the fella.

Dressing up like a tablecloth and supporting Croatia and getting paid for it by my licence fee does it for me.

One or whatever that show is called, also helps.

 

[ChrisFilter]

Yeah right, only the not representative cosmopolitan elite do.

Admittedly I've only been on the Aegean and Med coast, but all the Turks there identify with Europe, and the TV news does.

 

[ChrisFilter]

So why do they call "Marco Aurelio" Mehmet Aurelio?

I already referenced Marco Aurelio in my answer

Each to their own.

 

[goldenecitrone]

Excellent. Stoke Newington went a bit Turkiye mental last night. Wonder how they'll be when Germany kick their arses. Oh to be in Hamburg.

 

[Diamond]

My original point was that it's wrong for the BBC to call Kazim Kazim "Colin Kazim-Richards", if they continue to call "Marco Aurelio" Mehemt Aurelio. It's inconsistent and seems to be an attempt to make us care about the Turks because they've got a fella in the team who is really English. That's parochial. Do you understand now?

 

[Donna Ferentes]

I wonder, by the way, if anybody can recall any other instance of a side going behind so late in extra time and yet not losing? I certainly can't.

I believe something similar caused the great Ibrox crowd disaster.

 

[Donna Ferentes]

That was normal time.
