** GROUP A RESULT ** Congrats to Czech Republic KnightNoles and Russia Jon MK to advancing to knockout
WOW Extra Time Winner by Baros 96' Baros Sivok Selvy9 and I messed up a little.. played a full 90' (online friendlies, a no-no).. had to sit around for 20 mins then play ET and turned into a great one!
Great game man. Both teams with some good chances, the Danes hitting the post just before halftime, the Czechs working their way into some space only to see shots fly wide. The extra time winner was undefendable, Baros got just a brief glimpse at goal and curled a beauty off the far post. Denmark came close to equalizing with 5 shots in the final 15 minutes, but Cech was there to earn the win and the semi final berth. Again, great game KnightNoles. Sad to see this come to an end for me. It's amazing how much more enjoyable manual can be when I'm not playing with 2.5 star shit MLS teams, lol.

Man what a game. Really feel like it could have been 4-2 the other way as well. Really disappointed to go out like this. GG
Holland 1 - Russia 0 Holland Robben (6') Couldn't get any other stats since it looks like Jon signed off right before it went to the stats screen, but I don't think there was any assist on the Robben goal.
Not yet, he has to play Hedache first to meet Knight in the final. I lost 4-2 in OT to Knight. It was 1-1 and the end of regulation.
Holland (1) v (2) Turkey Holland: 69' Robben 76' RvP Turkey: 13' Burak Yilmaz 33' Semih Kaya N. Sahin, Emre Belezoglu O. Toprak (9.60) The long awaited semi final is behind us now. Rusty start of the oranges benefited Turkey and they took a quick 2-0 lead. Had chances for a 3rd to insure the final. Second half was all Holland coming at Turkey. Failing to score that 3rd goal, the final whistle was a relief for the Turkish as Holland came close to tying the game for extra time. gg ryalaman
My wife broke her ankle playing soccer about 10 days ago. I have no idea what I'm doing in the coming hour these days. On top of that I am not home friday and saturday. Hoping to sit home all day sunday. What's the rush? There are no events in line waiting for this to be completed anyways
1 -2 1 Goals 28 Shots 125 On Target 654% Possession 46%21 Tackles 213 Fouls 20 Injuries 11 Corner 2 9' Erdinc17' Baros (PK)66' Jiracek80' Baros Rosicky, Yilmaz Baros A high paced game, uncommon from hedache , many missed chances for both teams. In the 52' Yilmaz almost put Turkey up 2-1 after he guided the corner header past the goalie only to be stopped by the defense man in goal. In the 80th minute, Rosicky and Baros worked a one-two combo, Rosicky setup Baros with a great pass with him coming back to the ball which freed him from a defender and he just had to put it past the goalie, back into the net it went. More off the post for the Turkish team as he hit the crossbar once that was deflected off a Czech player then late in the match in the 89th minute Yilmaz went far post only to bang it off that post and settle for the one goal differential. Well, the Final was finally played and it lived up to good drama. Good match hedache
This was a great final game. I wish it was viewable by others. First half Czech had some chances that they should have buried but Turkey was fortunate to deny them with a little bit of lucky bounces. Second questionable PK call came in a final, unfortunate for Turkey. Second half it was Turkey that could have sealed the deal and a few lucky bounces went the Czech way. Still well deserved win for Czech.
I am sure this was an amazing game. Probably the top two players here at the moment, so it was fitting you met in the final. While it would have been nice to have played this 6 weeks ago, I am happy to see the result. Well played fellas.
