[Football] Euros 2024 - Round of 16 (Romania vs Netherlands, Austria vs Turkey)

[BN41Albion]

Come on then.

Who had Austria v Turkey as game of the tournament?

Wouldn't have said it before the tournament but it was clear after the group stages that it was highly likely to be very entertaining!

 

[scooter1]

Imagine England being involved in a game that fun

Said to my son, that if England had played either of those teams, they'd have been battered

Come on then.

Who had Austria v Turkey as game of the tournament?

To be fair, Österreich v Turkey was always likely to result in some impressive wing play.

Ooo you worked hard for that!

 

[zefarelly]

Ooo you worked hard for that!

He certainly didn't wing it.

THere's a time and a plaice for these things

 

[Easy 10]

Turkey v Georgia and now Turkey v Austria have been the best games of the tournament.

That save at the end, epic stuff.

And grilled afterwards.

 

[PILTDOWN MAN]

It was good, but it wasn't that good

Banks's save is overdone. Pele was easily double the distance from goal than today's. For its day when the average player was nowhere as fit it was good but in today's game where the pace is so much quicker Bank's save is often surpassed.

Well done for keeping aBREAST of the action

Taking altitude into account, the speed would've been relative to today’s pace. Thinner air and all that.

 

[Austrian Gull]

That felt like quite the wasted opportunity for my adopted nation - the country is waking up with a hangover today. Losing to Turkey is particularly bitter for many locals...

You can gegenpress all you want but if you can't defend corners then a defeat like that can happen.

One consolation is an Austrian player (Gregoritsch) actually calling out the far right in a TV interview after the match - unheard of here.

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

Noisy night in Berlin, lots of fireworks and car horns.

Nah. Cross fizzed in from the byline - Banks has to be on near post
Pele bullet header - down and into the far corner - how he got across was unbelievable
And the ball was nearly over the line when he got to it
Plus a massive game involving the best team and best player in the world adds to the importance
Last night - crap header too close to the middle of the goal - a lot of keepers would have saved that

IMHO

Best game of tournament .

Hopefully livens up from now as been poor overall

Each to their own but I disagree, this is the most I’ve enjoyed any tournament for ages personally (apart from England, who have been terrible)

I think the fact hardly anyone went home after the group games removed a lot of the edge that previous tournaments have had .

The majority last 16 games were awful

Good games moving forward though ( potentially )

The tournaments first 5/6 games were great however

 

[amexer]

Never thought we could beat Slovakia, Switzerland and Turkey and be in the final.

 

[Insel affe]

Noisy night in Berlin, lots of fireworks and car horns.

Just think what it will be like if they draw England in the Semis, carnage

 

[Brovion]

I swear one of the Turkish players is being called 'Alf Garnett'

That's nothing. One of the Portugal players in their game was called 'Drunken Sailor'
