Czech dominated first half, Turks dominated the 2nd.

Czech scores their 2nd goal of the game on a counterattack after Turkey had been knocking and it looks like it's over.

Then Turkey scores a goal with about 15 remaining and all of a sudden its 2-1 Czech.

Cech the keeper from Czech Republic mishandles a ball in the air turkey scores to make it 2-2.

Then Turkey captain rips one into the net off of the post and GG it is 3-2 Turkey.

The Turkey keeper also was sent off with a red card after pushign someone and since they were out of subs they had to put a player on the field into goal.

Crazy game.

It was an insane game. Two goals by the Turkish captain. Arguably the best goalie in the world botching the ball. The go ahead goal because the Czechs got caught napping (lot of that going around though. The Portugeese got a gimme goal on a defensive napping situation early in the week.) Gotta show Turkey some love, as they haven't beaten the Czechs in about 50 years. If you never watch more than 10 minutes of soccer in your life, you should watch the last ten minutes of this game.

Awesome game and awesome ending unless if you're a Czech's fan. Definaitely the best game so far in the tournament.

I too think that this was the best game in the tournament.  And I cannot believe that Czechs would let this game slip away like that.  They completely gave up playing in the second half, and starting just shuffling the ball back to the goalie, or just smacking it where it'd go - you could see that they were just trying to kill time, and got owned.  This loss is going to hurt for a looong time - and it should.

On the other hand, what Volkan was thinking is beyond me.  He forgot Zhidane?  And, Turkey will be playing against probably the best team in the tournament so far in Croatia next - their odds weren't that good to begin with, with Volkan out - they have no chance, and his stupidity is to blame.

That game was just unreal. For a long time it looked like Turkey was going to completely dominate the second half but still fall short thanks to that minute where they were playing with 10 men waiting to get their sub on for the injured guy. I can't remember ever seeing a soccer team come back from down 2 to win in a major international tournament before (I know it's happened, I just haven't watched any of those games), much less doing it in the last 15 minutes.

The whole tournament so far has been pretty exciting (two game-winners have been scored in stoppage time, Austria's tying goal came on a stoppage-time PK, and twice on Friday a team scored a goal less than a minute after allowing one), but if anything tops this one I'll be amazed.
