My cousins Mitch and Kyle encouraged me to check out the football championships going on in Europe. I have to admit, after catching the last 10 minutes of the Croatia vs. Turkey battle, I am hooked (of course I didn’t see the 119 scoreless minutes preceding those last ten)!
After 119 minutes without any goals, Croatia scored! Then less than a minute or so later with the final whistle about to blow any second, Turkey scored! Then the match moved to penalty kicks. Remarkably for the third time in a row, Turkey came from behind to win.
TURKEY’S RUSTU
Even more remarkably, they won with a back up goalkeeper who was replacing the starter who is serving a two game suspension. Rustu won me over the way he warmly encouraged the Croatians just before the penalty kicks and just after the match ended.
Hi Eric,
I live nearby Berlin (Germany), where many Turkish people live. There was a big party this night. The first 119 minutes were boring.
Next Wednesday will be the semin-final with Turkey vs. Germany. I think this will be very interesting in Berlin. I recommend this game to you. 🙂
I think the final will be next Saturday Germany vs. Netherland. Also exciting!!! It will be hard to see the Netherlands crying 🙂
Cheers
Carsten
