Round of 16

[Drico]

The Turks have a bit of devilment about them. They're clearly wired, but that makes them dangerous. I think they'll beat the Dutch (should they win tonight).

Cenk Tosun is going to get a Euro winners medal.

 

[Martin Alvito]

Free runner for Austria waving his arms like he's signaling a ship with semaphore, and his teammate never sees him.

Think this one is in Austrian heads, now.

Oooh, first shock of the round? Not sure it qualifies, but breaks up the Western Europe monopoly in the quarters

The Turks have a bit of devilment about them. They're clearly wired, but that makes them danagerous. I think they'll beat the Dutch (should they win tonight).

Turkey could really do anything. They could beat them or they could get humped 4-0, you never know with them.

I agree. Ronaldo would suit their collective temperative perfectly.

Commentary then….

“Austrians have a mountain to climb…”

“Good thing is, they are used to that…”

Amazing stuff and the highlight of ITV coverage.

UEFA EURO 2024 (TM) Fun Fact

Turkey meet Austria in the last of the Round of 16 matches this evening, but did you know that Bernard Matthews was directly responsible for the death of over 2 million turkeys, according to the Office of National Statistics?

Turkey are a dangerous floater - the kind of team that would at least have a serious go at England. And then probably collapse in hysteria.

They are, arguably, the most entertaining team in this tournament.

Not sure it is a shock - Turkey have a better league and better players, yes Austria are higher in the rankings but not by that much.

 

[Rita_Poon]

2-1
