Switzerland says goodbye to its Euro

More valid Luis Aragones, although it says that God does not support anyone in football, lift all the saints who have to hand (he or anyone else) and ask them to prevent a flood, one more like that struck Basel and converted into a football game impossible. On and on thousands of litres of water, Switzerland was about to throw a loop to the neck to the old Turkey, but in the end was hosted by the ending hung from the tree (1-2).

The Turks, dating back at the last second, took air in their group and they will play again next Sunday with the Czech Republic to move forward. That second place could be decided in a shoot out if this match ends tied, as both teams are equally to all (won, lost, goals for and against) and face off in the final game.

In Basile, the water logged pitch affected both the 1-0 and even of Yakin could not have come if the ball slows a bit more lethal after a pass from Derdiyok. Yakin, of Turkish descent, not celebrated the triumph with nothing but their captain Alex Frei, on the bench and lame. Turkey seemed to play with strings. Everything you tried, it was too little, resulting in a complete horror.

Before the goal, Switzerland had already been thrown back to a meeting at which none came out with a knife in her teeth. Yakin himself had warned in the first half with a time zurdazo that stopped Volkan undoubtedly the highlight of his team so far this tournament. His doubts in his defense and the status of the land had led to his departure in the erratic play of the Swiss goal. Fatih Terim, if it did not have sufficient doubts, I thought at that time that his stage in the national was near the end. Far sensational picture that is already offered in the World Cup in Korea and Japan, where he reached the third place.

While the meeting progressed and the noose tightened further, the Turks made it impossible for them all. An error after another against a team playing on the counter attack, when just in case, since the minute 46. Neither Mehmet Aurelio nor Nihat had appeared among the puddles, and without them, Turkey was nothing. A half-hour to the end, the Villarreal player sent a pass from his left to the banda between Swiss defenses, testarazo of Semih give Turkey the first joy of Euro 2008.

The tie reminded that Switzerland could be the first of the two hosts of the tournament on leave. The rush generated a carousel impossible to pelotazos toward the goals. It is not understood why, 20 minutes from the end, the Turks began to slow further their intentions to attack the marker. They decided to put to waste time as imagining that he would give his due to the Czechs. Indeed, seen from a point of view, that it is self-confidence. And even with these, Tunkay squandered the opportunity to serve a ball to deadly Nihat, 15 minutes from the end.

By that time, Switzerland was half dead and Turkey gave him a squeeze, so Switzerland, on the counter attack again, was on the verge of sentencing, but Demirel took out his hand to a shot of satin Yakin. In that light was followed by another, the Zapatazos of Arda Turano one second before the referee pit finish. Switzerland has died. Viva Turkey.(source: elmundo)
