    that turkey game was quite astonoshing. All that P. Cech had to do was punch that one cross out to midfield and the game would have been over for sure. But no.. he tries to catch it, Turkey tie the game, and there you have it.. one more break down the field and a goal. Sorry, but Turkey looking the way they did up till the 70th minute did not deserve to win. The way they played after the 70th minute, well that is a different story..

    remarkable finish to the game though.. i was in total shock!

    In my opinion they are a far more solid and consistently cohesive team. They aren't any more skilled nor do they employ better tactics. But they gel together and work the plan they have with greater reliability. They are less prone to lose a match they should easily have taken like Turkey is. So many times I have been watching in complete disbelief as Turkey lets another fair easy game slip through their fingers due to complacency.

    The Turkey vs. Czech match is a perfect example of Turkey's unreliability they always only seem to "wake up" when the situation is almost hopeless. Their UEFA qualifying is the perfect example. If they opened with the tenacity that they displayed during the last stage of that match I wouldn't have had to sit there with multiple stomach cramps begging for them to stop trying to drive through the centre and watching as they played straight into the Czechs' strengths.

    Thank the lord that after half time they started running the wings much more. As the game drew out they were able to start out flanking the Czech's defence. And finally in the dying stages of the game they finally kicked into gear and started to produce errors from the Czech team. Coupled with a bit of luck and Nihat's die hard attitude (the man was running around like he had just been put on) they left the Czech team shell shocked as it all fell apart.

    Volkan's idiocy in the final minutes of the match highlighted Turkey's greatest weakness, lack of professionalism. Croatia will be even tougher match. The Croatians play a similar "rougher edge" style of football like the Turks but employ a more rigorous defence. I think if Turkey can disrupt the midfield from supplying good balls to the strikers, especially shutting down Darijo Srna. Then Turkey will have a fighting chance. But they have to play like they did for the final 15mins of the Czech game. Nothing less is really going to suffice against Croatia's new team.
