That was insane. I have to give it to the Turks, they played with a lot of heart and never gave up. To score 3 goals in 14 minutes and win the game 3-2.
Sorry to the Czechs. It sucks that you guys are going home early. If the Germans are not careful tomorrow, they will be joining you though...
The Swiss beat Portugal 2-0 tonight as well, in a meaningless game. The Portugese did not play with a full starting team as well.
Here is the standings in Group A after tonights game.
Bold Qualified for the Playoff round.
1. Portugal - 6
2. Turkey - 6
3. Czech Republic -3
4. Switzerland -3 | Yep, what can we do...Never in past I´ve seen such a game...to loose in fact the won game in last 15 minutes...terrible...but in general, we got 3 points against Switzerland even they were better, then we lost with Portugal and...yesterday´s match confirmed the fact we hadn´t the best team on tournament this time...
After the game was over Willi Reschke´s son called me as he couldn´t believe his eyes...
Hope Germany will go tru today...

Country:  | I really did not expect Turkey to beat the Czech.
This whole tournament has been terrible as far as referee's go. They are making bad calls, not making calls when they should, etc...

| I have to chime in about soccer and Americans. Think we have a problem with watching a guy getting tackled and then needing a stretcher then 2 secs later running full blast down the pitch and also it's hard to relate to an American player of fame(no idol like for example Beckham etc)..I love watching the Premier league and Serie A but the scheduling is a tough watch. I've only been able to see Croatia/Austria and Germany/Poland play. I hate watching recorded games and if there are replays they are at weird hours. I'm thinking Spain is looking good,Netherlands also, Portugal also. When I watched the Germany/Poland game I thought both teams were running like they had anchors tied to their feet. My wife is part German and I'm part Polish so I couldn't watch the end of that one...

Country: | Good game by Germany tonight! Germany won 1-0 over Austria but the played much much better than the final score said. The defense was solid, the offense was solid, the goal keeper was solid. The only problem I saw was in the middle field and it was only a slight problem.
Both coaches were sent off of the field for arguing. The Austian team was fouling like crazy, and the German coach confonted the Austrian coach about it and, and an argument broke out. They recieved a warning, and then were sent off of the field. The German coach walked into the stand under a standing ovation.
It really was pretty bad, how the Austrians were fouling (I can say this unbiased because my team won. If they had lost you could have said I was making excuses. They didn't  ). Anyhow they were. Podolski was even punched in the face by an Austrian player and the referee acted like he did not see it.
This whole tournament has shown very very bad referering in every game, for every country.
Oh well Go Germany!!! Bring on Portugal!!!
In other news Croatia beat Poland 1-0.
The final standings for Group B are (teams advancing to the playoffs are in bold). 1. Croatia -9
2. Germany -6
3. Austria - 1
4. Poland -1

Country:  | The Austrians were very ordinary and lacked any cutting edge.
The Germans did enough but I would like to see how they play against Portugal.
Now that I would like to see! | |

Country: | I can't wait till the game with Portugal.
I really hope that the loss to Croatia set a fire under the German's ass, and motivated them to play like the team they are. If they are motivated and play like they should, they will beat Portugal.
Either way it will be a good game. May the better team that night win!

I saw several occasions where the German defence should have handled the Austrian attackers, but they couldn't as they were too slow. Lack of organisation in the team caused a lot of chaos from time to time and also not many chances were created. But I only saw the game untill right after the goal, so maybe after that it was better. I think Germany will improve in the Quarter finals, they always do, so Portugal should watch themselves.

Country: | Germany are good attacking and midfield but the two central defenders are hopeless. Slow and they turn like Bf 110s!
Getting rid of Gomez and putting Podolski as a main striker will be good. Podolski has been scoring and he looks like he will score more. The Gomez miss was a shocker.
Germany can score goals but they struggled to kill off Austria. Austria are a very ordinary side. Just can't see Germany beating a full throttle Portugal side.
Unconvincing is the word I would use and they were lucky to be in a weak group.
They do have some good players and good organisation but the central defenders Metzelder and Mertesacker...apologies if spelling is wrong...are poor.
The Dutch are still my bet and they should let Romania through to get rid of Italy and France. | |

Was it always like that? I watch football for many years, I even tried playing more than what is normal for everybody, and I don't remember this (bad calls) being such a big issue. So are now refs worse than ever or I see more and more of this bad calls and I'm tired of this so much...? | |
