Good game by Turkey, im now just one team away from my prediction at the start of the knockout stage:

....I'll go as far to say that it will be a Spain (my team) v Germany Final.

Wow, not a bad prediction. Would be an interesting game...however, I'll be hoping that (my) team germany take the cup.

 

[pos(t)er]

yea i'm getting more and more hungry for germany-spain final.but hey let's see if if he really is a golden guuse...

 

[pos(t)er]

[milomak]

[JK8]

Stupid Turkish goalie and coupled with SABC crap broadcast... very depressing.

 

[killadoob]

From the UK to Australia the feed was out. Bad weather on the uplink site, so the whole world was cut off.

I blame UEFA for it, bloody Platini

 

[killadoob]

yea as much technology as we have, mother nature is way more powerful

Stupid Turkish goalie and coupled with SABC crap broadcast... very depressing.

Indeed. Would have been a great game if we could have seen it all

Turkey gave as good as they got I thought. Were it not for that one goalie error that lead to the 2-2 it could have been way different.

 

[killadoob]

turkey mauled germany last night

second half a lil closer

if turkey had just taken more chances first half, game would have been dead

i can tell you a full strength turkey team would have won last night

germany where shocking last night and i dont see how they will beat russia or spain

tnite is the final of euro

 

[lilGr]

Turkey played as well as they could , They did well IMO but Germany was just the better side.

VIVA GERMANY!!!!! (pantparty)

 

[killadoob]

dstv and sabc where no the problem last night

A thunderstorm that cut power supplies interrupted coverage for millions of television viewers watching Germany's thrilling 3-2 semi-final win over Turkey at Euro 2008 on Wednesday. UEFA are still investigating the cause of the problem, with particular emphasis on the violent electrical storm that hit Vienna during the match and forced the evacuation of 25,000 people from the city's fan park.

Yeah their defence is shocking. Spain I reckon would beat them because they like to play the ball on the ground and those 2 CBs of Germany's would be torn to shreds. Never mind Lehman who should be in an old age home instead of on the pitch

 

[SuPaStA]

Lehmann was pathetic yesterday, both goals were his fault.

First goal he though the shot was going to be harder than what it was and stayed back.
2nd goal he let it in on his near post!!! pathetic mistakes for a season'd keeper like him.

Hope he plays the same in the final against spain if they make it.

What about all the saves we saw? Was that his fault aswell? His defenders left him alone with the striker for the first goal. The cross bar helped him twice. he did well.
He was far better than Turkeys goal keeper.

He had some good saves but simple errors like that could have cost them the game.Turkey's keeper made a big mistake on the 2nd goal he commited himself to the ball by coming out like that and never won it, should have stayed back and let his defender deal with him.

First rule in being a goalkeeper if you going to commit yourself you need to be 110% you going to win the ball.
