EURO2008

[the Langolier]

Heiho,

Turkey vs Germany 2:3

regardless of the result I want to back up my previous statement about the german coach.
Power of Will and Pep Talk aren't enough if a team wants to play big games. Especially if the opposite team also has Power of Will, plus far better teamplay and less tech flaws. This games' result sadly gives a wrong impression.

I wouldn't quite agree. The Turks certainly played much better in the first half, but the Germans came back in the second half to play like the strong team they are. Either way, however, it was an exciting game. Turkey pulled out another miraculous play in the final fives minutes to tie the score - how do they do it! Unfortunately for them, Philip Lahm set up a great give-and-go and scored in the final minute to take the lead and eventual win.

I was also happy to see Klose have a few good plays and a goal (GO KLOSE!). Throughout this tournament he's been a ghost. I have so rarely heard the announcers say his name it would be easy to forget he's even on the field. I don't even think Lehman should start in the final :/ Here's for Germany all the way in Euro 2008!
