Michael Posted June 25 Posted June 25 (edited) The Czech national team faces a significant setback ahead of their crucial match against Turkey, with star forward Patrick Schick doubtful to start due to an injury. In their previous match against Georgia, the Czechs dominated play but were unfortunate to only secure a 1-1 draw. Georgian goalkeeper Mamardashvili was voted man of the match, and the Czechs created numerous scoring opportunities. To advance to the Round of 16, they must secure a victory against Turkey. Despite Schick's potential absence, the Czech team possesses the capability to defeat Turkey, but they cannot afford to squander their scoring chances. Conversely, Turkey enters the game with less pressure, having already secured a win against Georgia. A draw would suffice for Turkey, allowing them to adopt a more cautious approach without committing to early attacks. The Czechs must perform at their best to secure the necessary victory. Personally, I hope they succeed, as their young team boasts several talented players whom I'd like to see more of during these Euros. I'd also like to see more of Hlozek and Cerny in the attacking areas, as I think they can cause the Turkish defence some serious problems. Edited June 25 by Michael Quote

Michael Posted June 26 Posted June 26 So many yellow cards been brandished in this match. It's been a bit of a dirty game, but the Turks go through to the next round. Quote
Moderator Tommy Posted June 26 Moderator Posted June 26 What a crazy game. There were like 20 yellow cards, a Czech player sent off after 15 minutes with a 2nd yellow, then another Czech player sent off after the final whistle. Even players and officials on the bench were booked several times. At first I was rooting for Turkey, but I felt really sorry Czech Republic how the Turkish goal happened. Their goalkeeper Stanek, who was fantastic btw, made a brilliant save but injured himself in the proccess and then couldn't save the 2nd shot. Poor guy, I felt so sorry for them. And Czech Republic fought admirably, even with 10 men for most of the match. Quote
Machado Posted June 26 Posted June 26 This game rivals the battle of Nuremberg but I doubt it was as dirty. Quote

6666 Posted June 26 Posted June 26 Not sure why Czechia's goal was even allowed. Looked a definite foul on the keeper. Game looked like it was great fun with all the cards. Quote

But the Czechs still did well to equalise while being a man down. However, having a player sent-off was too much of a handicap in the end. Quote

One of those where if it's disallowed we'd be wondering why, and bemoaning that keepers get too much protection. 1 Quote

The goalkeeper should have punched the ball away instead of trying to catch it. Quote
