>>I just turned off my TV after that goal came at last minute. Turned on with screams came from street. That's really unbelievable. We came-backed at last seconds in last two matches.

>I have been recording the quarterfinals and watching them in the evening. To me it was 115 minutes of dull football (I'm sure you disagree) and then one of the wildest finishes you will ever see. With time running down in the second extra period and Turkey trailing 0-1, the English language announcers even said it was too late for another miracle finish. Whoops! Once it went to penalty kicks I knew they were going to win. (Croatia's kickers must have known it, too, the way they CHOKED).

>It doesn't look good for the next match, going up against Germany with three more players lost to yellow cards. But I don't think many will be writing off their chances. Turkey has been the pleasant surprise of the tournament.

Germany had 1 good game - if they play like they did before they should loose. But if they can fire themselves up like against Portugal, I think Turkey will have a chance to play for third place.

>PS -- Can anyone tell me why England wasn't in the tournament?

AFAIK Croatia, but I am not a soccer-know-it-all...
