Yeah that's definetly one of the best matches I've ever witnessed in my lifetime at the Euro's. This along with the Netherlands - Czech match at Euro 2004.

i think i said something similar when he let that imbrahimovic goal in the other day


re: this match, fantastic performance by the turks towards the end.. czechs were starting to tire & they capitalised brilliantly

turks deserved it. no doubt.

one of the most entertaining 2nd halves that i've ever seen.

The Turks keep coming back. Best match of the tournament so far imo

MAN WHAT AN INSANE GAME!!!

Well saying it once is not bad compared to the 4 times Gigi's probably said it now, and that with an ITALIAN defense in front of him.

Anyway, we are off topic here. Confirmation on whether or not this is the greatest comeback in European Championship history?

Best comeback I ever remember was when we went from 2 goals down to win 3-2 over England, in 2000. Turkey did it in less minutes, though, so I guess they win.

Yeah, true. I remember that game as well, stunner from Figo if I remember.

Netherlands - Czech was a decent game back in 2004 where Holland went 2-0 up inside 25 minutes but then lost in with a few minutes to go and go 3-2 down. That was a special match, Nedved's 40 yarder which smacked the bar will live long in the memory even though it didn't go in.

Two true classics, but I guess I've subconsciously tried to blur them from my memory (I was supporting England and Holland in each case).

Still, minutes-wise, I think we might have a new record.

My Czech friends was upset! It is big shame for them. And big surprise for all tournament. Well, I said, that TUR are underrated, but NOT this way! I am shocked....
