I think the goalkeeper is not a problem for Turkey, it’s more the rusty defence that have not convinced me yet. A lot of these competitions are won by good defence a little else. Remember Greece — oh, how glad I am they are out. I can’t imagine anyone enjoying watching Greece play football except fanatical Greek fans. It almost amounts to anti-football in my opinion. Good for them they were European Champions for 4 years, but very glad to see their style of football completely defeated, or rather humiliated.

Turkey vs Croatia. I think I would love to see Croatia win, mostly to annoy the Serbs, but if Turkey win the Greeks will be even more annoyed, which really is a win-win situation. The bottom line is that the Balkans will be represented in the semi-finals come what may.

But boy, are the Dutch playing fantasy football or are they playing fantasy football? It’s great to watch and would absolutely love to see them lift the trophy, under one condition: they play how they have played so far.

Apart from that Italy and France send me to sleep from boredom, and I am cheering Sweden to beat Russia bit time.

The red card for the Turkish goalkeeper at the end was rather fun I hope they have a good replacement for their next match.
