Official England V Turkey Thread

11-10-2003, 23:58

Its currently 0-0 at Half Time with Captain Beckham missing a penalty. England have a creative spark in Rooney and Turkey in Nihat. Turkey put the pressure on England late in the first half but stood strong. 45 Mins left till Euro 2004.

we already have a turkey england thread

but if a new one is necessary

cant believe he slipped! DAMN!

GET IN!

We did what was required although we definatley should have scored. Rooney, Beckham and Scholes, all with great chances. What a shocker from Becks! :eek: Ah well, it doesn't matter! We've made it!

Two of the funniest incidents I've seen in a match last night. Firstly Beckham's slip, which at the time wasn't funny at all but looking back I can't help but chuckle. And lastly, that audacious bicycle kick by Rustu straight in Dyer's face followed by that embarrassing 'overhead' kick which he scuffed. Serves him right, the show-boater.

We're in!

loool "That was a jonny wilkinson penalty"

and rustu....

what the hell was he trying to do!

alpay poking becks in the face was also fairly ammusing

oh and sas was it diving was also amazing to watch,
give him an oscar!

go on the lads "oh england will never keep a clean sheet" blah bloody blah good on yah terry and cole

and i still dont think the goal was offside, though they only showed it like once from a rubbish angle

how come Beckham's header was dissallowed, Dyer was well onside when Gerrard played the ball too him!!!

mutu · 12-10-2003, 15:47

i wouldnt say well onside, but it did look like he was level

pity too, a win would have been nice

12-10-2003, 16:30

We should be happy! We pipped the world cup play off winners to Euro 2004!

Lord Shrimpeh · 12-10-2003, 18:50

Its a pity scholes didn't score that chance, the last time he scored was englands last vital qualifier so it would have been a good time to breack his England goal drought!

12-10-2003, 18:52

Are you talking about the Rooney chance which scholes took off him? If Rooney would of shot you know that it would have troubled the keeper. Ah well..

mutu · 12-10-2003, 19:22

rooney lost control of it if scholes hadnt have nicked it the defender behind him wouldve

so close, why oh why did it swerve away

he came pretty close twice

garrard my man of the match

what a great game he played

elliottume · 12-10-2003, 20:55

but the main thing is, we're through!

Is anyone planning on going to Euro 2004 in Portugal to cheer on the lads?

Haha, yeah, Sukur. That was hilarious, I liked how Campbell confronted him afterwards. I'd like to imagine what was said to him

That attempt to con the referee was laughable! Although it wouldn't have been if the ref had fell for it, but no, not Mr Colina.

- The best ref in the business. Divers should be banned, I hate to see it! :mad:
