Then, in an epic 15 minutes against the Czech Republic, Turkey mounted a comeback that will talked about from Akhiser to Van for as long as a football is being kicked there.

...corner kick that ended with Liverpool striker Dirk Kuyt scoring nine minutes in. The French struggled to survive the half, then came out after the interval ready for payback. Les Bleus pushed, shoved, sprinted, and fought to stay alive, but the Dutch would have none of it. Substitute Robin van Persie wound up on the winning end of a series of fast-break passes, the last from fellow sub Arjen Robben, to put Holland in command in the 59th minute.
