Turkey to face Germany tomorrow
So, with pretty much all of Turkeys roster injured, it might seem pretty hopeless for them to beat Germany… but after the last 2 games I’ve seen them play, I just can’t rule them out. I honestly won’t be surprised if they advance to the final. Somehow, they’ve been able to pull some off the most amazing goals out of their ass at the exact time they’ve needed to. I’m a bit disappointed Nihat won’t be playing, but an injury is an injury.
As for the other bracket (which I neglected to look at when wishing for a Spain/Netherlands final), Spain might have a tough time besting Russia after their unbelivable win over the Dutch. I was pretty speachless that they lost, especially after that brilliant header by Nistelrooy to tie it up. They just couldn’t put anything together to stop the relentless attacks of the Russians. Spain definately has their work cut out for them, but I’m still hoping for them to end up in the final. Right now, they have to be my favorite team so far in this tournament… with Turkey a close second.
