Game over I thought as I once again flicked the channel back to get an update on the state of play in the Czech Republic Vs Turkey decider. With 15 minutes left on the clock and the Czechs clearly dominating at 2-0 I almost gave up even half watching it. If I was a betting man (truth be told if Sweden get to the final I'll win £35, not my choice of team, it's one of those pointless sweep stake things) then I would wager that the Czechs would be in the 1/4's - no doubt!
As it stood it was highly unlikely that Turkey could score 2 goals in the last 15 mins to take it to a penalty shoot out, let alone 3 to win a place in the quarter finals. In a historic last quarter of the game they somehow managed to do exactly that. The second was largely down to Peter 'Whoops Butterfingers' Cech but the killer goal was awesome. So well done.
That said, I don't actually care but it made for an entertaining Sunday evening.
