Turkey just don't know when they're beaten do they.
Remarkable.
0-0 at Full time.
Croatia score with about 2 minutes left of extra-time. It's all over. Apart from the fact that Turkey equalise with the last kick of the match to make it 1-1 and a Penalty shoot-out. Croatia miss two and a third is saved. Turkey win.
Turkey have only been ahead for TWO minutes in the entire tournament due to their amazing run of last minute goals.
Turkey were 66-1 to win the tournament at the start of Euro2008. Only Austria had lower odds.
They now play Germany in the semi's.
Remarkable.
How they'll put together a team with the amount of suspensions due to Yellow/Red cards and injuries will be interesting though.
Slaven Bilic (the Croatian Manager) is one of the best Managers around in my mind though. He's still in his 30's and I reckon he has a fantastic career ahead of him. I hope he Manages a Premiership Club one day. Maybe Arsenal after Arsene Wenger retires/leaves.
Both of the Quarter Finals so far have sprung results that have surprised me. It's Holland vs Russia tomorrow. I previously reckoned Holland would win. Now I have no idea.

Been such a great tournament so far.
Clive Tyldesley (sp?) and David Pleat obviously had it wrong in the Germany v Portugal game then!
Though best comment from that game came from Tyldesley who suggested as the clock counted down that the Portugal players might need to start "digging a tunnel" which I didn't think was entirely appropriate...
