Re-Cap of an Exciting Croatia v. Turkey Quarter Final Euro 2008 taken from espn's Gamecast. Pretty exciting, for a soccer nut.

124'

GOAL! Croatia have won it! Klasnic!!

124'

Amazing!
Modric goes on another run, Rustu came wandering out as the ball broke
and as Modric swung it in Klasnic nods into the net from six yards out!

125'

Poor
old Rustu! He's looked uncertain all night and now he's stumbled into
no-mans land right at the death! Fatih Terim is apoplectic.

126'

GOAL! Semih has equalised!! Turkey are level!

126'

Unbelievably amazing!! A long punt downfield breaks to Semih who has whacked it into the roof of the net!!

127'

What
is it with Turkey and comebacks! We've sat through nearly 120 minutes
of turgid football then witnessed two minutes of incredible drama. The
full time whistle went as soon as the ball hit the net. Penalties to
follow!

128'

Croatia will take the first pen. Modric comes forward...

Modric misses! Amazing!

129'

Hamit Altintop scores! Croatia 1-3 Turkey!

129'

Croatia must score. Petric steps up...

129'

Petric misses! Rustu saves and Turkey are through!

129'

You can't say they deserved it, and they might struggle to field a team in the semi-final
given all their injuries and suspensions, but my word Turkey don't know
when they are beaten! The Croatian players are crushed...

130'

What
a cruel game football can be. Croatia deserved to win that game, on
their approach to it alone, and when they scored in the 92nd minute
they must have thought they were through (I certainly did!) but now
they're out. Astonishing.
