Czech Republic 2-3 Turkey
Tempestuous
Best 10 minutes of the tournament (unless you’re Czech). Turkey showed the sort of spirit (and chaos) that got them to a World Cup semi-final six years ago, while the Czechs still seem to be missing Nedved’s creativity.
Switzerland 2-0 Portugal
Rainy day ending with glorious sunset
Didn’t bother watching much of this (simultaneous broadcasts for the final matches in each group) but good to see the Swiss get a win.
It’s very easy round here to tell when Turkey’s played and won, because the entire Turkish population leaps in their cars and drives round Cologne beeping their horns.
Till about 3 in the morning.
