Portugal 2-3 Germany
Vinds of change!
Cracking match, and the Germans deserved it. Eusebio is right… Portugal are going nowhere without a decent centre forward. Good to see the back of cynical Scolari, though. Can we have the naive, charming, chaotic old Portugal back now?
Turkey 1-1 Croatia (Turkey win 3-1 on penalties)
There is no hurricane on the way…
Having subjected us all to 80 minutes of abject hopelessness against the Czechs, only to produce a classic final 10 minutes, the Turks have now extended their Period Of Ineptitude to 110 minutes, making the 121st minute equaliser and steely penalty shoot-out victory even more exhilarating. Surely they can’t beat the Germans?
