...Turkey - Semih Sentürk to be more precise, who slipped between defenders to head a long cross from Nihat Kahveci into the net in the fifty-seventh minute. In injury time, Turkey's Arda Turan collected a terrific pass from Tuncay Sanli, cut inside, let loose a shot that deflected off a defender's foot and sank into the net, along with the entire Swiss nation.

Belle has expensive clothes and a fab flat, but she doesn't have a fantasy life--just a well-paying job embodying men's fantasies...
