This is why I don't bet soccer. If I was on Croatia I would be livid.

Yep! Unreal finish after 119 minutes of play. Two goals in two minutes plus Croatia blows their 1-0 lead in penalty time.

well,

many if not most of the soccer wagers are based on 90 minutes + Extra time anyway, you dont have to "risk" it going to the shoot out.

 

[eoghater]

so you're saying i would've pushed?

No, it would be a lost after 90 minutes on a 3way or spread line.

Unless you had an to advance bet then the pk would be a horrid beat.

 

[HiPockets]

That endgame sequence defies belief. Following their improbable comeback vs the Czechs, this one was unbelievable. Freaking Disney magic. Count me in as a fairweather Turk fan.

 

[dmmd98]

Considered Turkey a sleeper team before this tournament but this has exceed anything I could think of. Those players keep making their fans proud. When you get to cheer for a team that is well coached and fights to the death you really can't ask for anything more. Only having 14 players going into the Germany match with the three players getting suspended for getting a yellow card today will be tough to bear.

What Dmmd said, how you cannot root for this team (wagers aside) after what they have done is amazing.

It would be hard to top their underdog run in the WC in 2002, but they have done it and then some.

If you ever get to buying a team I'll be submitting my resume btw

While on the other hand, Turkey to advance was a wonderful turn of events ope:

:toast:

This has been the best Euro's in my lifetime.

I'm thinking Head Scout in charge of Portuguese Players as a title for you.

Thank you, Rio Ave better make sure they have all their players under firm contracts if that is the case.
