Turkey are giving it a go, but they look really vulnerable at the back when caught. Thankfully Seferovic has had a mare all tournament (apart fae that goal he scored) but he and Shaq should have two goals each.

Turkey are unlucky in that Sommer is having a stormer, but they look a lot worse up front.

HT team talk. Do the Turks get each other rallied up and go for it ; or does it come to the 55th minute and Swiss make it three and then they collapse? Who knows.

Also, with Wales losing too, if Italy could put a few more past them then we could well see Wales in third.

Clutching at straws here. But Turkey have been known to claw back late goals at the Euros. Checking the stats,

  • In 2008, they came back from a goal down against Switzerland, to win in injury time. 
  • In the last group game they were trailing the Czech Republic in the last 5 minutes, but scored twice (87th, 89th minute) to go through.
  • In the next game they took Croatia to extra time, Croatia scored in 119 minutes, Turkey equalised in 120+2 and went through on penalties.
  • In the semis against Germany they had a late equaliser in 86 mins but were put out by a 90 minute winner.

Those comebacks must live on in their tournament lore to insire them. 'Mon the Turks!

Wonder if the ref had booked him if VAR would have been involved to upgrade it to a red?  One of those 'orange' ones for me that.  

 

Yeah should have been an orange card!
