The Turks have Taken Vienna!

Montella has done a great job with this team. Whenever Turkey play, the free flowing football turns the match into chaos. End to end football is not only fun to watch for the neutral, but also means teams that are at their best when organized are at a disadvantage.

Very similar to how Qatar play in Asia (that's how they defeated Japan in 2019 Asian Cup and Iran in 2023 Asian Cup).

One thing that makes this year's Euro special is the amount of self-goals...that really baffled me. It was hilarious,but also weird.

My 9 year old did a sweep at school. He picked Turkey - Holland and Portugal. Last night Turkey looked dangerous on the break and the goalkeeper is simply world class. I think they have good team spirit and could go all the way.....

National games always cause chaos. The players do everything to win, but many of them are not used to playing together, so there can be imbalances on the pitch.

The Turkish national team is just starting to settle. If we beat Holland, I think we can easily beat England and play Germany in the final.

well at least you guys are not getting carried away from beating Austria in a game where you had 6 shots vs Austria's 21 lol

The Austrians really kept attacking to the last second. Literally.

We gave the ball to Austria, we played tactically and defended. Why attack when we were ahead, of course we had to play defensively. If we were behind it would have been the opposite

It was great.

Speaking of defensive football,this year we celebrate 20 years from the Greek team's victory in Euro 2004.

The problem is that there is too many big names in the same position. Exactly like the England Golden Generation, there was Lampard, Steven Gerrard Rooney etc... Now they have Jude Bellingham, Phil Foden and Cole Palmer. How tf can you play Saka as left back hahahaha.

But Arda Guller is a baller, he has good potential. Barca scouts young players and Madrid steals them hahahaha.

England is shit. No ifs and buts. This team needs to exit in the next game. They have fluked it until now.

that save in the last minutes was amazing

but Turks are getting carried away thinking a lucky win against Austria means they can easily beat England

I met a really cool Greek guy at a restaurant he manages a few weeks ago, we spoke about 2004 and Greek and Iranian football for ages lol

Montella is actually a problem. He didn't want to start Arda Güler in the eleven against Czech Republic. It is only when the media and fans started to complain did he allow Arda to play. Look it up on YT. It was a big story in Türkiye.

Türkiye can beat England. No doubt about it. England had a lot of luck in their final game. They don't deserve to be in the quarter finals the way they have played.

Man that was epic. It was a surreal kick and a surreal catch. Out of a movie.

we spoke about 2004 and Greek

You cannot imagine the celebrations and feeling in the whole country back then. Every anarchist and hater disappeared and wouldn't dare talk for weeks. People forgot their differences and politics for days. It was like a boost we needed back then. The next year,we won the Eurobasket competition and Eurovision.

Of course that didn't go on for long,we got trashed in the next tournaments (well except basket)
