...Turkey, like its great rival Greece in 2004, is having a magical ride in Euro2008. Having played the Croats to a standstill for 118 minutes, and thrilling minutes at that, the Turks seemed finished when Ivica Olic - who'd earlier blown a wide-open chanced from yards away - caught Turkish keeper Recber Rustu off his line and lobbed a pass to Ivan Klasnic for a free header and a goal at 119 minutes. But nothing seems to motivate the Turks more than getting behind, as they demonstrated in clawback wins against both Switzerland and, sensationally, the Czech Republic. The Croats...

But Geneva is a serious city filled with diplomats, private bankers and watchmakers. Geneva on a Sunday is still deader than road kill...

In the middle of the park the petulant Deco kept demanding balls that by rights belonged to Christiano Ronaldo, who drew Turkish defenders like the moon does the sea. Here's a guy, who, with three opponents on him, doesn't even think about reversing the ball but instead decides how he's going to beat three guys with one move. That's the Portuguese mentality.
