Match Centre: Switzerland vs. Turkey - EURO Grp. A

Cya!

See you tomorrow folks... Invite more people to join the Match Centre! Have a good night!

Yeah most entertaining day of the Euros so far.

good matches indeed

Nico becoming a rich man off Euros :P

I hate that this let Portugal through...but WOW! good games today!

It's over... I put a bunch of pictures up if you guys wanna check out

And I win my bet today, both of them. :D GEt innnnn

So that means Portugal is first in the group for sure :(

damn senderos :S

oh, swissies

Switzerland going home....or err...well something like that lol

Well. I'm 0 for 2 today. Fantastic.

that was a pretty nice goal

sissies???

poor swissies

piss poor swiss defending

I told you guys hah.

there's my stoppage time goal!!!

ARDA TURAN LINK

Horia is a witch!!!

seriously? wow.

GOAL!!!!!!!!!!

GOLAZO!!!!!!!

ARDAAAAAA GOALLLL

gooooaallllll

AND I WAS RIGHT!!!

Oh okay

*the goalkeeper stepped up

It was. The stepped up to puch the ball and when he received the pass there was only one defender in front of him.

That wasn't offside.

that's just like Turkey's set piece to header off the post. this game should be more than 1-1

how the hell they managed not to score?

Yeah but I was almost made to look like an idiot just now lol

stoppage time goal from Turkey?

I hope you're right!

only if they tie them to Man Yoo

I feel another goal's coming for Turkey shortly

:)

I wouldn't mind them dumping Cashley into the Thames either...

that would suck...but I couldn't help but laugh..

I'm waiting for Chelsea to 'pull a Leeds' as soon as Roman gets bored and pulls his money out of the club.

good point, russian mafia got him :|

A year, he wont win the Champions League. Roman's gonna get his henchmen to shoot him and dump him in the River Thames. Notice we haven't seen Avram Grant since he was "sacked"?

a few years probably, he needs to learn english first

1 season

So, how long is Scolari gonna last at Chelski?

What ever happened to Rudi Voller?

That's a penalty!

yeah damn :S

Scolari new helski manager.. shite.

Felipao new Chelsea manager!!!!

Yeah I heard that too lol

as long as it's david villa's sperm...

I heard he's only buying sperm from now on.

Shit the keeper flew through the air to catch that.

20? Might be too old for Wenger.

He becomes 20 tomorrow so maybe I'm wrong :P I missed the penalty, was on FM

*penalty

That should've been a planalty

I say 2-1 Turkey. A come from behind victory.

Still think turkey will win.

Not sure. Is he 15?

Why do I get the feeling that in a couple days we're gonna be hearing that Wenger is interested in Derdiyok?

is it going to stay 1-1?

haha. the life gaurd. i love that

Weird seeing blood stream down like that.

Hakan looks like he attempted suicide just now

so maybe if I say I'd like another...

and the Turks are back

:O nice

1-1!!!

WHAT A GOAL

GOALLLLLLL.

YES!

Yeah would shut up the crowd. They sound too happy for my liking.

I'd really like a Turkey goal right about now

hahaha

i love when you can read players/coaches lips. i'm pretty sure senderos uttered a "f*ck me"

they got a giant hairdryer. A Swiss Army Dryer...

Oh wait a minute. I just remembered I was playing a match on fm lol

I emailed just now about the pitch.

What the hell did they do to the pitch at halftime. The ball's actually moving now.

And email about anything you want related to Euro2008 - if you heard today's podcast you'll know some of the messages we get are only vaguely related to the football ;)

oh yeah :P

scroll up...

Where exactly do we email?

You ALL want to get wet with 21 other dudes.

Don't forget we need your comments, emails, voicemails etc for the Eurocast -
LINK

I'm not Italian...that wouldn't make me happy

You just want to get wet with 21 other dudes...

I'd love to play on that pitch. it would be fun to slide on

lmao

He'll probably play better that way :)

Senderos drowned =/

Are they wearing snorkels yet?

today's game has been renamed Waterball

I give them more credit than anyone man. The problem is that our manager doesn't give us credit, and so he plays ultra defensive because he's scared to lose. Because we're playing italy... o my
god! It's bullshit honestly. We NEED a win against them. We can't rely on the last game.

I think you need to give Romania more credit.

Yeah I laughed to myself when I heard Rece Davis say it.

Yeah but they didn't play like this in qualifying :P. I personally think Holland is the best team in the tournament. And the damn ESPN commentators just ripped my line: "Welcome to the EURO Water
Polo tournament" .. they must be watching the OleOle match centre. :)

Look to beat Netherlands, not Italy. You've already beaten them in qualifying, I can see it happening again. Italy are gonna come out like monsters on Friday. By the way, there's word Donadoni's
gonna drop 5 players, including Barzagli for De Rossi.

I was thinking. If we somehow beat Italy and Netherlands beat France. We just need a draw, or we could even lose the Netherland game and we move on. But then we'd play Spain :P.

Yeah could be true. Friday is too far away. I want to see those games.

France and Greece are already the worst teams we've seen so far.

could be, but the weather might have given us a worse game than Romania - France XD. That's what I want, something to make us look like we're not the worst playing team in the competition.

This must be a gay guy's dream. 11 guys in tight wet white shirts, 11 in wet white shorts.

Watch that idiot Behrami trying to dribble

yeah :/

The turkish are technical players, this kind of amazingly wet pitch kills their game. For a more physical and less technical team like switzerland, it's an advantage.

The ball is like a rock.

Cech should be playing, he has the fitting silly cap on his head for water polo.

yeah, this is not a football game, it's a water polo game.

Lol was thinking the same thing. By the way, funny shit when the ball stopped infront of the goal before Yakin tapped it in.

Almost another goal :S. What is the defense doing?

Podolski who is a pole brought the win for Germany against Poland. Now yakin who is turkish can bring the win for the swiss against Turkey. Romania needs some italians and dutch repatriated in
the next few days pronto!

I told you guys Switzerland could take this one... Of course there's still a lot to happen

nice

wow, 1-0 switzerland. What a mess.

Turkey will win this.

oh damn, switzerland shot, yakin, awersome opportunity.

With or without Frei it was bound to be boring. Switzerland have no flair about them.

LINK Our wallpaper might be the only place Turkey looks good :P.

Deac hasn't got good stats but he rocks. :P

Oh. 1 shot!

Jeez. Not even a shot yet eh?

this game is boring to me without frei

I'm managing Everton by the way

Can't find Goga, Deac doesn't look that impressive. Stancu's been shit so far.

ah buy Dorin Goga and Ciprian Deac.

I'm not even watching. I'm playing Football Manager.

they're squaring up Senderos

lol

There's blood already!

I hate the goalkeeper kits though.

Yeah I like their kits too

Am I the only one who thinks that apart from Greece Switzerland are the team with the least flair in this competition?

EPL news for those who care:
Released this morning. Arsenal will win the 08-09 season by 12 points.

i like the turk uniforms

With these two...I wouldn't rule it out. This could get a little ugly late on.

so we've seen quite a few yellows in the games so far. any this match?

I think it looks pretty cool

What's up with Turkey's babyblue colors?

2-1

Swiss actually.

I don't if they can perfomr at the same level without Frei but I can see Switzerland winning this one

Hodiddle did you pick a draw?

Turkey because there's money involved...

I sure hope not.

I see Turkey winning this 2-0

As long as big Phil doesn't start crying... :(

Hakan Yakin, that name sounds Turkish yet he's playing for the Swiss, what's the deal here?

Switzerland played very well... I guess

Okay so place your bets: Senderos vs. Emre...think this fight will go all 12 rounds?

2-0?
you think they played that well their first match? or does turkey just suck?

Derdyiok is starting? Cool. I want to see that kid playing a full match

I'm surprised both sets of players are even shaking hands tonight.

Senderos is the best. but for my bracket's sake...please win turkey...

No Emre = no win for Turkey.

Senderos is a good defender but I think Wenger needs to get him to a shrink to get his head sorted. He has serious nerve problems.

I wouldn't mind seeing that.

with a name like hodiddle, we obviously know you can't pick them.
GO TURKEY!!

Will there be a big fight again... I bet some of the players are still angry at each other

Big Phil Senderos! Best CB in the tournament! :)
