Tales of upsets...first the improbable comeback from Turkey who seemed to have a knack of scoring last-ditch goals and then the wizardy of Hiddink's tactics that helped to knock out his native country, Holland. Can you believe it? The third time in a row Turkey has came back from the dead. They came from a goal down to score an stoppage-time winner against the Swiss, followed by scoring three goals in the last fifteen minutes to score 3-2 win over the Czechs. Now the trilogy continues. They scored virtually the last kick of the game and win the penalties against Croatia. Let's not forget the squad was decimated by injuries and suspensions. How on earth they did that? As for Russia, they were hammered 4-1 by Spain in their opening game. Andrei Arshavin,their key player only just back from suspension, inspires his team by winning their last two grp matches without conceding a goal. "Oranje" on the other hand has been impressive in their demolition of France and Italy. The third time running the grp winners were tumbled out of the last eight. Now the stage is set for either of them to be crowned Euro 08 ,just like four yrs go unfancied Greece shocked the world by winning. HAIL the masterclass act by both teams!!! |
