Looks like there has been an absolute downpour in Dortmund,
with stadium staff having to sweep standing water down the
drains. North European countries who can’t guarantee nice
weather shouldn’t be allowed to host the Euros, all future
Euros should be in Portugal, Spain, Italy, Greece, Turkey and
Qatar.
The irony of opening my new Turkey home shirt today to find the words
“made in Georgia” printed inside the collar.
Also, the home shirt is white but it looks like they’re going to wear
red today so I needn’t have paid for express delivery.

HT: Turkey 1 - Georgia 1
An all too familiar story from a Turkish perspective. Lots of attacking pressure for the first half of the first half, but generally with no penetration. Then Muldur’s volley put Turkey 1-0 up. Turkey had the
ball
in the net shortly after but it was rightly ruled out for offside.
Georgia looked threatening on the counter attack and found their
equaliser and grew into the half from there on and could be 2-1 up.
Turkey hit the post too.
Wonder strikes notwithstanding it’s hard to see where a Turkey goal
will
come from, but the more you try the better chance you have I suppose.

The best game so far. Great goals and atmosphere.
Tchau!

Portugal is my pick to win it all, I guess I ll see if they are for
real.

Pretty disappointing so far. Lots of possession, almost zero output.
Ronaldo did have one chance following a great through ball by Bruno
Fernandes (well saved by the keeper), but I suspect that VAR would have
called that off.
On pretty much the first time Czechia venture out of their own half
Provod finds the back of the net with a brilliant strike.

Hranac own goal, 1-1
Well, what a finish.
Yusuf Yazici had a chance to put Turkey 3-1 up but the Georgia keeper
saved his header.
Then Georgia miss a golden chance to equalise when two players go for
the same ball in the area and they mess up the shot.
In injury time a Georgia shot looked to be going in but some last ditch >defending from Turkey saw the ball headed to safety.
Finally, with the Georgia keeper up for a last second corner, Turkey
clear and find Kerem Akturkoglu, who broke away as the only player in
the Georgia half to finish into the empty net and win the match 3-1 for >Turkey.
Well done Turkey for getting their first opening match win at the Euros
but I’m not convinced at how well they’d defend against the better
teams.
