Kudos to the Turkey National Team, for their two consecutive come-from-behind victories in Euro 2008. They beat Switzerland 2-1 on 11th June , and stunned the Czechs last Sunday, 15th June, by coming back from a 0-2 deficit, to win 3-2. Nihat Kahveci pounced on a rare Peter Cech miscue, in the 87th minute. Nihat then curled a fantastic shot from the top of the penalty area, in the 89th minute. {See this article (uefa Euro 2008 site)}.
Turkey will now face Croatia, in a Quarter-Final match, on Friday 20th June, in Vienna, Austria.
