Turkish Delight

The Turks are probably the most resilient team I have seen in a long time. It must be something in the water. I saw this same resilience with Fenerbace in the Champions league.

The never give up. They were down 2-0 and it could've went to 4-0 if Koller scored on the breakaway and they scored on the chance that hit the post. They just kept pushing, kept getting chances (a lot of Tuncay chances).

One good finish and a Cech error followed by a sublime finish from Nihat in 15 minutes changed the look of the quarter finals.

Nihat scored twice in 2 minutes, with the second showing his absolute quality.

The only problem is their goalie got sent off with a red card at the last second.

Wow! What a game. The game of the tournament so far.
