[Group A] Switzerland - Turkey
Both sides desperately need a win and might be outside of the tournament if they don't get one. Switzerland maybe slight favourites as they played well on their first match, unlike Turkey - but I believe Turkey didn't show their full potential.
The most interesting thing about this game is that it brings memories of that World Cup qualifier that ended up with a massive battle.
Key players Frei and Emre are out.

It's annoying. Players try to dribble and the ball gets left behind.
This is the worst possible result for us, anything else (draw or Turkey win) and we're qualified.

Are you really that scared of the Swiss?

Sucks for the swiss who are out, but we're qualified! And in first place, which should allow us to avoid Germany in the quarter-finals.
Turkey now only needs a draw against the czech. The czech need to win. (edit: this is wrong, I got mistaken by the commentators, both teams are level in goal-average, I don't know what happens if they draw)
