Do you agree that Turkey deserved to win that game?

Question

totally gutted they went out

(sorry Chrissyxx)

Answer 1

My father says Fatih Terim left the back deserted and that the Germans took advantage of that.

Bad tactic+biased referee+lots of motivation=3-2, it seems.

Sad, but it happens.

Answer 2

If they deserved it they woulda won it. the better team won

Answer 3

i think they played better on the night, but at the end of the day Germany put the ball in the net more times & as we all know thats what counts --- > :)

Answer 4

It was a game of two halves. I think some German individuals played amazingly but Turkey were a bit more convincing on the attacks. Shame they had a c**p keeper which is the reason they lost.

Answer 5

Surely they deserved more than Germany.

Answer 6

I share your sadness...

I wish you won...

You deserved it and you needed it, for all the reasons we know...

Answer 7

turkey have been brilliant throughout the tournament!! those bloody germans dont deserve to win,

Answer 8

Of course, they deserved to win the game, why not?

Answer 9

ive managed not to watch any euro 2008 (it was hard but it would have been to depressing for me) im a die hard england fan .im quite surprised by the amount of people watching it (i didnt think they would coz england werent there . same as i wouldnt watch the champions leaugue if arsenal werent there the only matches i watch that dont have my teams in are premiership and fa cup matches . (mind you i proberly would have watched all of it had england were there lol contradiction there .. lets let germany hurry up and win so we can look forward to the qualifiying games for africa 2010 ..yeah bring on the world cup the euros are nearly over dont look dont look aghhh my eyes lol

Answer 10

Yes Turkey deserved to win that match

They dominated the match

Volkan would have done better if he had played, but too bad he's on suspension

Answer 11

Its not a very nice atmosphere in my place right now:(

I think its very sad and annoying.

Answer 12

Yes of course, they had wonderful goal chances which they handed away.Like Kazim's strike out side the box hit the post and Aurelio couldn't head the ball in with a clear look at the goal. Im kind of disappointed. Im very proud of Turkish national team. I hope they'll show better performances in the future as they did on euro 08.

Answer 13

No COS they shouldnt be in the tournament. What the h**l is turkey doing in a european tournament and england not.

Good riddance the turks

Answer 14

The referre GAVE the victory to the German.

So unfair...

Answer 15

No I don't agree. I said it before in some sections that Germany will win. You people didn't listen to bet on what I said and you loose the chance to win money.

Answer 16

It was a good match and the Turkish team played better than the Germans for most of it. The match was lot by Rustu, why was Rustu in goal? Because of Volkan's idiotic behaviour earlier on. Better luck next time. (and better behaviour, hopefully - saying that, the rest of the team observed the principals of fair play and set a good example).

Answer 17

we played well but Germans win. no need to be sorry. I am proud of my team. everybody will remember Turks in EURO2008 for long years. I guess you know the saying of great English striker Gary Lineker:

"football is a very simple game. for 90 minutes 22 men go running after the ball and at the end the Germans win."

Answer 18

yes i would probably agree with you if i had been able to watch ALL of the game

heads must roll at UEFA and the organisers

Answer 19

I think it was a well-played game. I mean the referee ignored some fauls on the germany side but I think they deserved it still. We won the last three games the last minute. They won this game in the last minute. We believed that we deserved it when we won in the last minute, so I guess they deserved it too. Do you get my point?

I mean, yeah, we did have a not-good-enough rustu, but so did the some other teams tht we played with.

I do believe we would have won if volkan was playing- then we would have won. All our players are young, so lets hope to win in the future years! :)

Answer 20

Yes they should have won.

I'm a Mexican-German girl lol but I've always been with the turkish team, even against Germany...

so sad they didn't win.. I'm heartbroken =(

anyway, terrific game from Turkey!! Be proud!!

Türkiye forever <3!!!

Answer 21

Didn't Germany score more goals?

Oh is this the anti-reality Q?   I'm sorry,  yes Hienrich Himmler was brought on at half time to score a magnificent quadruple for the Fatherland! YAH!

Answer 22

Both teams were very good! I enjoyed the match. This is the kind of football I like to watch. It deserved to be a final, not a semifinal. as to who deserved to win, I'd say both, becasue both managed to overturn the score in their favour many times, when all seemed lost. But at the end of the day, the team that scores most goals wins, that's football.

Answer 23

Yes, yes, yes and YES. We deserved it, we deserved it! We should have been in the finals now and if it wasn't for our weak right back and hasty goal keeper we WERE in the finals! We played splendidly against Germany even with our substitute players. (That 12th German player, Busacca, is the star of the match!)

Maybe we should avoid scoring first again lol

Answer 24

Even though Turkey had half the team suspended and injured, with the referee working against them, Turkey TOTALLY CANCELED OUT Germany's game. A few amateur mistakes gave Germany the win... Germany pulled a Turkey on Turkey.

Answer 25

Yes, and considering we had many injured and star players out of the game...we did AMAZINGLY with the resources we had left.  If Germany were in our position, I really believe they wouldn't have done such a great job as we did.  The Turks deserved it-it would have been their first time to go to the finals AND Germany has had many opportunities to shine and I really think it wasn't their turn to win.

Answer 26

Germany is physically and mentally stronger

Answer 27

Yes I do. The Turkish team was great, they did their best and played better then Germany.

Anyway, Turkiye was amazing in Euro2008 so i keep saying: Congrats! Be proud all ya Turks!

Although You would have deserved the cup, go on, get the 3rd place, and yes, be proud!

Answer 28

May the best win,  but all Turkey goals were all circumstantials. German's much better players.

Answer 29

I do yes after some amazing performances it's sad to see them go.

So for me it's VIVA ESPANIA !!

Answer 30

Turkey's wins were explained as "luck." Let's say Germany was lucky this time, they played against a subteam and hardly got the game. Thanks to ref also. Little chance against Spain or Russia

Answer 31

Yes, d**n it! We're supposed to WIN at the last minute, not lose! Arrrgh!

Edit: Ukok, get your head out of your b******e and breathe some fresh air. It's good for you.
