drakos13 Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 Man this guy is an idiot. The games that were played in the group stage were all winnable if Greece fielded a decent team.for example what decent team......and dont go around calling people idiots and m*****es, when your the one whos been horribly mistaken by saying Russia is inferior and the group was not hard a all.I dont think theres anybody out here that would say that group was not a hard group when it was drawn in the winter, we knew fully well it would be difficult.

PAO_OR_DEATH Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 Two minutes added time in the Turkey - Croatia quarterfinal??? I thought I saw something like 3-4 seconds above the one minute added, no more, when the goal was scored. In any case, the rules clearly state that the referee is the timekeeper of the game, no one else and if he feels there were extra delays after the et is posted by the 4th official, he should allow for it. it was 121.32 actually. Rustu should not have been allowed to take that free kick, also croatia was denied a sub at the same time. Its just the inconsistancies that piss me off. FIFA should make a law that says if a team ios overzelous the ref can add time or after the time is surpassed a team is allowed one last attacking play (like in Rugby, game is over once time is up and the ball is dead) either way the tournament ended for me on matchday 8 and turkiye well done to win it even though i think it was suspect, the croats lost after that goal, they looked so afraid taking those penalties!!!

GS1905 Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 well.. it was 120:56 when Ruştu lifts it upfield and 121:01 when Şenturk scores..

cyberfish Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 No need to overanalyze the timing GS1905. Turkey won fair and square. They could have scored earlier but as it happened, they scored at the very last second. It happens, and when it does it makes the game so much more exciting. I will be cheering for Turkey to win the EURO this year for many reasons. First, I like the way they have played and the way they managed to overcome the odds against them, second, it's nice to see the smaller countries win, and third it would add another little element in our bilateral folklore :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irlandos Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 well.. it was 120:56 when Ruştu lifts it upfield and 121:01 when Şenturk scores.. 121:03 by my reckoning! :angry: Try to be more impartial! :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PAO_OR_DEATH Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 every one knows that the group of death is a curse!!! no teams ever win from the group of death!!!!

gcp Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 Turkey lost today but it wasn't because they didn't give it their best. I am very proud of this team, only wish our boys had that kind of spunk and character in them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
