    Turkey looked awful in their first game, didn't even pose a threat. Switzerland, on the other hand, created a few good chances in their game against Czech Republic. Furthermore, Turkey's got a few important players injured. Thirdly, Switzerland will have the crowd behind them. And, finally, Turkey aren't a great team to begin with.

    Gooooo Switzerland!

    Felt sorry for the Swiss. Again. The art of losing with honour part II for them. Fun game though. The elements should play a bigger part in football if it were up to me! Snow, ice, rain, soaking pitches - it's always a guarantee for great matches.

    Day 6:
    Germany - Croatia 2-0
    Poland - Austria 1-0

    After all all goals in that match were composed and scored by Turks.

    And on a weirder note, if we get a draw result against the Czechs in the last match, the UEFA rankings will come into play which will decide the Czechs as the qualifiers.

    Hottest match after 5 days indeed.

    Yesssss!!! quarter-finals here we go...

    We finish 1º no matter what result we get against the Swiss and that means we will play against the 2º from group B (crossing my fingers for Croatia). It was a good match as both teams had several chances to score.

    Well further clarifications are being made about what happens if Turkey - Czech Repuplic match ends in a draw.

    The rule I've stated above is valid if the relevant teams are NOT against each other in the last match of the group. However since under this circumstance the opposite is taking place, there will be a penalty shootout directly as soon as a draw result of 90 minutes is reached.

    There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

    “Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it whether it exists or not, diagnosing it incorrectly, and applying the wrong remedy.”

    To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticise.
