I expected something else from Turkey, especially after those great matches they did in WC 2022 preliminary. But we should not forget that biggest achievements for Turkey started with a defeat: EURO 2008 (losing first match, 0-2 against Portugal), where they were semifinalists losing to Germany 3-2 (Lahm scored for 3-2 in 90th minute) and FIFA WC 2002 (losing first match, 1-2 against Brazil) where they finished on 3rd place. Sure, these could be only coincidences, but let's see if they are capable to repet these results, because the next opponents are very beatable. 

 

Congrats to Italy for the very good quality of football they showed last night. Let's see if they can keep the same level against better teams in next stages.

Yesterday's match was something I would expect from a :FRA v :HUN, not from an :ITA v :TUR. It could have easily been even worse for Turkey, like a 5-0, the difference was that big. The issue for Turkey now is that their goal difference can hurt them if they will be third in the group.

I don't think your team will play that worse in this group. I saw Germany playing in Bucharest in March, they are weak, Portugal can be surprised as well (actually in last Euro you draw 3-3 with them). Of course, if we look on French team they seems to be the favourite to trophy (at least on paper), but you never know. Good luck.

I will be happy if we won't pull an :IRL at EURO2012 and we will have at least one close call where we will have a good shot at a draw. I think we have a stronger team than in 2016 even without our two best players, but the draw is obviously MUCH harder.

    • Matt Gaetz as attorney general is definitively... a choice.
    • I'm all in favor of this and it was about time. Wrestling has become table tennis 2.0 and in some cases even worse. In European Championships from 20 wrestlers in a weight you were seeing 7-8 foreigners. Yes, it's mostly Russians, but there are also Ukrainians, Georgians, Cubans being naturalized.    I've said it numerous times, that i don't approve the tactic our federation started of naturalizing people left and right. Which actually wasn't paying off that much, until the Olympics. If it leads to worse results, than it's just a wakeup call for the destruction of our wrestling system (which has been evident for 15 years).
    • WLL to debut a women’s league in 2025 in preparation for LA 2028.   https://www.instagram.com/p/DCUdUebOWBO/?igsh=enNtY2JlYmRnency
    • New season streams are posted for the weekend if you need to get your schedule organised.     Remember, it's a double bill from Pyeongchang  on Saturday and Sunday this weekend, then a single race from  next weekend. No bobsleigh yet, so I guess they will get double races with no skeleton later in the season.      There were two Asian Cup races on the Pyeongchang track last weekend, and another scheduled for tomorrow, so no excuses for poor performance, everybody should be used to it by now.     IBSF Bobsleigh & Skeleton - YouTube
    • races also on Saturday and Sunday.  These are sometimes FTA, other times you will need your VPN.   Skidskytte: Idre | SVT Play
    • So here we are....pre-season races ready to go.  Always important for the big teams to get some last minute promotions for the first trio of pre-Christmas World Cup races, or even for club skiers to get some kind of promotion into a professional training group.      races on Saturday and Sunday morning.  Usually these are globally free to air live, although you sometimes have to wander round a bit to find the right link.   Sport - NRK TV
    • Anyway, for those who were following this discussion a few weeks ago,  has an excellent chance of first-ever World Cup podiums, possibly even wins, this weekend.  Roche Silveira won and was second in two full-scale rehearsal races last weekend, and has two chances in Pyeonchang on Saturday and Sunday. Then Pinheiro Braathen has another chance in the Levi slalom on Sunday.
