Not in my local Turkish 'Barbers' it won't, as I've yet to see a customer in there. Only been open a couple of years now though. Good turnover apparently.
Not sure I’ve ever seen Turkish people working in them either

Have you seen the english fans these days . Most the decent lads on bans , would be alright for a bit of resistance with chairs and bottles but unlikely to be starting and finishing anything

100% guaranteed it will be an England v Netherlands semi-final.

The Dutch were magnificent against Romania. Arguably the best performance of the tournament against a decent side who finished top of qualifying and then won Group E. The options up front are staggering with Memphis Depay, Cody Gakpo, Donyell Malen and Wout Weghorst. They also score a few from set-pieces.

I'm going to the Switzerland game and looking forward to mixing with what I assume to be some very good people. They like a neutral stance.

Turkey however would be a different kettle of fish! Don't think I'll go, but if I do I'll be packing my running shoes.
Switzerland still has national service which helps eliminate nearly all the hooliganism.

I hope you have a brilliant time in Düsseldorf, @Giraffe and praying we can play some good football and progress to the semis. You're one of the best posters on here. :thumbsup:

That's very kind, thank you.

Currently packing for the trip:

Toothbrush

Oh that's it.

The upside of England/Turkey semi is when they inevitably dump us out on Penalties there will be no shortage of specific windows in Boundary Road that will require replacing on Thursday morning
You seriously think we'll bottle penalties (if it happens) after five absolute textbook spot-kicks against a keeper as good as Yann Sommer?

I'm glad I won't be in Dortmund on Wednesday night. The German police will not want to upset their immigrants. It will be outright war but I think the Dutch will respond in the second half but on the pitch that would be far harder for us with Depay, Gakpo, Malen, Weghorst etc.

Horrible situation now either way. :eek:

Help me here. Are all “Turkish barbers” owned and staffed by Turks, or is it just a Style/brand where anyone can work or own?

Turkiye do have the potential to be black horses this year. They have lots of quality in key areas, but most importantly they jsbr have the working rapport of a great team.

Predict Turkiye to beat Netherlands and England to lose against the Swiss (on pens).
Holland on Wednesday, it is, then.

Netherlands.

...and to be fair, I was almost right with my prediction. Didn't expect England to be so f***ing good at penalties this time round.
Nederlanch ???

How you say? Get it right!

You say 'Netherlands', and I thought so to. But at matches they seem to chant 'Holland, Holland'; and when I lived over there during a World Cup, all the posters were 'Hup, Holland, Hup'.

And I may as well provide some evidence....
