“All he had to do was catch it” …
Of all the keepers to make a bollocks of a routine catch, you’d bet the house on it not being Peter Cech. But that’s the game, right? Just when you think the game is drawing to a predictable end, it gets turned upside down.
TAXI PLEASE !
Fair play to the Turks for battling on, you have to say they deserve something for that effort. But not since Britney shaved her bonce have we seen a downfall this spectacular.
Also, where were the Czech subs? Surely Baros could have exploited on the counter with Koler so recognisably knackered. There are many places to point fingers after a game such as this, but the only direction which counts, in the end, is forward.
Turkey are through, with Portugal. Czechs and the Swiss go home.

Kohler so recognizably “the creature” and inspiration of Mary Shelley. Kohler pre game meal: all available substitutions and a liter of dunkel weizen.
