Group A: Turkey, Italy, Wales, Switzerland.

[Mozza1987]

Turkey struggling to get out of this group from this performance. Wales must be more confident watching this.

 

[Brett Angell Delight]

Very well run. Very good academy. Very good at rinsing people out of money.

Great model, tbf. Atletico, Porto and Monaco have all had similar periods of success in recent times. Even Southampton had a brief period doing similar.

Good for them. What little I’ve seen of them the last few years, they’re a lot of fun to watch, too.

 

[Nymzee]

I thought I had Turkey in my work sweepstake so kept a keen eye on this. Turns out I had Portugal instead.

 

[dublinbluenose]

Turkey have almost conceded as many goals in the match as they did in their whole qualifying campaign.

Italy look a very well oiled machine. They'll batter Wales.

 

[Papa Shango]

There were quite a few Turkey is a dark horse shouts I saw. Yikes.

Going to be an awful lot of pots of dark glue going spare.

They have deserved everything they have got tonight. So negative. I kind of get trying to keep it tight as 3 times can get through but ugh.

 

[Brett Angell Delight]

Meh, just a long list of clubs that have a good year or 2 and then disappear.

It’s almost certainly not sustainable over the long-term, but good on them for managing even that.

I’d kill for a good year or two, tbf.

I was saying that to a few friends before the game. Look a bit stupid now

I don’t disagree per se, but it’s been a masterclass by Turkey here, in making a good team look great.

 

[gonetomorrow]

Berardi might possibly be the greatest player in world football.

Or the greatest actor...........

I said Denmark so that’s them getting beat 9-0

 

[Goat]

Had a good 4-5 years now.

Weirdly according to their honours page, they havent.

 

[BlueStevie35]

Emphatic performance this from the Azzuri, Turkey have been woeful

I honestly think this is a blessing in disguise for Wales.

They’ll know they can’t be asleep. Plus, if Italy beat Switzerland, they’re though, and Wales will go to Rome to face a potential weakened side, more so if they draw with Switzerland tomorrow.

 

[Nymzee]

Weirdly according to their honours page, they havent.

Good is relative to the size of the club though. Like say Brighton finished in Europe for a few seasons in a row you’d say that’s a good few years wouldn’t you.

Multiskilled.

Also looks like he has done himself in there.
