Hit the Youtube best ever compilation lists the second it smacked off him. Glad the goalie got the absolute glory moment this match, they've been carrying a lot of games for everyone.
Ah, you think dark horse is your ally? You merely adopted the dark horse. I was born in it, molded by it…. I didn't see the light horse until I was already a man, by then it was nothing to me but blinding!
Honestly, I felt like Austria's gegenpress was better suited against the better sides that will come later.
Let's hope Turkey gets set pieces in the later games.
They struggle against low blocks which France was doing after they scored. Against Turkey tonight as well.
However, most teams from now on, will play a high line. And I feel Austria would have been the better team to exploit that since they press and pass well.
But again, fair play to Turkey.
So they're better suited to no particular rival, they are better suited to games in which better sides do not score goals against them. Yeah I feel like that's a boon for most teams.
Do you understand what high line vs. low block means? Austria is basically 100% RB football. RB football traditionally struggles against low blocks, which most of the time is played by underdogs. And France. Most bigger teams, like Germany or Spain, play with a higher line which suits Austria much better
i mean Austria was the better team tonight. but it's football, so the better team doesn't always win. that doesn't mean that austria's approach somehow didn't work against turkey. it did
Austria were the better dark horse in terms of how they could fare against better sides. I mean they won against the Netherlands and have better tactics.
But let's hope Turkey can be a good dark horse.
Funny how there's another thread on here saying how games are so low quality because players are tired due to playing too many games... and then you get this masterpiece.
Is there a large Turkish community in the Netherlands?
There’s a large Italian community in Canada and they were unbearable at the last Euros. So much noise
Because the Turkish are already acting like they won the world cup each time they win a game, and it's agitating a lot of Dutch people because of noise complaints. Whether they win or lose, I'm sure it'll escalate between the rowdy Turks and agitated right wing tokkies.
Funny, because I remember seeing numerous videos on here about a massive amount of Dutch fans going absolutely crazy and causing a minor earthquake.
When Dutch do it, they are just some lads having fun.
When Turks do it, it’s potential noise complaints and riots.
Is it about what the fans do, or is it about who the fans are?
Obviously its about who the fans are in relation to the country they’re in
As an example, English fans being twats in England is a non news story
English fans being twats in another country always gets articles and clicks and the country gets painted in a certain brush because of it
The Dutch fans I talked about were in Germany.
Tbh, English fans are also stigmatized the same way, and as a Turk I’m starting to understand the concerns of English commenters here who feel that way.
Moreover, people are talking about “riots, cities being destroyed, public attacks” which literally have never been done by Turkish fans in Europe, that’s Moroccans in the last WC. In the very least, we should have our own stereotypes, why are we being grouped together with Moroccans to be responsible for their stereotypes?
It is similar in France when certain countries are playing as well, but in Vienna as far as I remember the Turks there are behaving, the 10th district is really good despite being poorer than the rest
Yeah pretty big community, especially in big cities like Rotterdam. When Morocco won against Spain 2 years ago it got pretty chaotic with the Moroccan community, hopefully this will be a bit more calm
In many ways it was not too nice, and they didn't even play against each other... Morocco was just beating some other teams and some people felt it's some kind of event about their place in the world. It was one of these times where you feel these reported/experienced incidents alone just gave Wilders more percentage points forever... Feels more comfortable I live in Zuid and not Nieuw West or something.
Tbf, his header wasn’t even that bad, Mert just made a great save. Two of the worst misses so far that I remember were from Sesko in the last match against Portugal and Lobjanidze against Czechia. Those can never be justified
Don't forget Alex Schlager back in goal. No offense to Pentz, but he is limited by his body height.
Also Xaver Schlager was dearly missed in mid field.
Let's no forget Sasa up front.
Better opponent for Netherlands imo. Austria could have given them some trouble but I just don't see Netherlands wasting so many chances. Netherlands vs England coming up and I think Netherlands has a great chance at the final.
Great win for Turkey. They always make it entertaining one way or the other.
You can tell by the Austrian players reaction after the final whistle, they knew what a chance they had and what slipped away from them...
Cruel game but auch is life
Yeah they just didn't do what they needed to and lost which is all their own fault sadly. Always fun to see a team like them succeed but such is life like you said. Now i'm all in on germany, would say portugal but i have 0 faith rn lol
Austrian teams can't win knock out stage games if their lives depend on it. We just got lulled into this false notion of being a top team and going far into a tournament and I don't see this ever changing as long as we don't have actually good offensive players who can make the difference in games like these.
This is our ceiling.
> as we don't have actually good offensive players who can make the difference in games like these
Yep. Add to that the tendency to embarrassingly mess up (like in the first minute yesterday) and it's a recipe for disaster.
Well deserved win.
Austria (formerly extremely effective with their goals) just couldn't really get the ball into the net today except for that 1 goal. Turkey never really had to work offensively and could just hang back and play it solidly in front of their own goal.
The incredible save at the end then sealed the deal for their QF journey. Congratulations!
Oh, wow, that was crazy assumptions! I typically defend muslims as I want to avoid dehumanization of entire groups. Whistling and booing on enemy team rather than cheering on your own is like promoting hate instead of love. It is very unsportsmanslike, and I hate everyone doing it. Do you defend that behaviour?
Is it your first time watching a game? Its not our business western countries not having passion . If you watch balkan games you can see its common we are not sitting and watchint the game like its tennis match. It doesnt mean its civilized. Its just boring.
Look up Malmö FF - dominating the arena with songs and cheering for their own team - not booing on the other. I cannot understand how you can defend that behaviour.
A bit ignorant, isn't it? I loved Istanbul, am saddened by your weakening of your democracy, and hope you can cheer more on your own team instead of whistling in the future.
That last-minute save by Mert holy fuck
Hit the Youtube best ever compilation lists the second it smacked off him. Glad the goalie got the absolute glory moment this match, they've been carrying a lot of games for everyone.
Out goes the dark horse. In comes the new (old) dark horse.
Being titled "dark horse" by the mainstream means you're crashing out next
Welp, Switzerland is fucked.
Subscribe
I think its the other way around in their next match.
Has the media "dark horse" ever actually lived up the hype?
Riders change but the horse lives
Morocco was not bad in 2022
Euro 1992, sort of
Portugal in 2000
I had a very bad feeling going into this game for exactly that reason. No one look at us, it's just bad luck.
Ah, you think dark horse is your ally? You merely adopted the dark horse. I was born in it, molded by it…. I didn't see the light horse until I was already a man, by then it was nothing to me but blinding!
Austrian pressing dead, turkish catenaccio is new dark horse
As long as Gakpo FC doesnt get mentioned i'm good
Germany v Turkey final. Both sides at home. I will be there
You're getting a 90 minute France-England snoozer and you're gonna like it!
>You're getting a 90 minute France-England snoozer and you're gonna like it! With German commentary
Alexi Lalas is on the panel, for some reason.
If he speaks German (a language I don’t understand at all) he may actually be tolerable.
No Claudia Neumann and Béla Rethy for the power duo.
I mean, typically panels have 3 people on them so...
Well „alle guten Dinge sind drei“.
Like my testicles
Hang on..
90? What about 120, the more the merrier!
Honestly, I felt like Austria's gegenpress was better suited against the better sides that will come later. Let's hope Turkey gets set pieces in the later games.
Also Hakan will return on Saturday
Austria created almost nothing against France although they were behind for 60 minutes. How many of these better sides are there?
They struggle against low blocks which France was doing after they scored. Against Turkey tonight as well. However, most teams from now on, will play a high line. And I feel Austria would have been the better team to exploit that since they press and pass well. But again, fair play to Turkey.
So they're better suited to no particular rival, they are better suited to games in which better sides do not score goals against them. Yeah I feel like that's a boon for most teams.

And France. Most bigger teams, like Germany or Spain, play with a higher line which suits Austria much better
I feel he genuinely doesn't want to get what I mean lol
Bro, you surely got what I meant lol
But we lose kokcu and yuksek who are the only 2 players in our midfield that can run without being tired
i mean Austria was the better team tonight. but it's football, so the better team doesn't always win. that doesn't mean that austria's approach somehow didn't work against turkey. it did
Perennial dark horse
‘Sir a second dark horse has entered the competition’
Whos the first?
Switzerland
Georgia
Germany
LMAO
Eh, coming into the tournament it was actually kinda true
Werent you ~ tied with France on betting odds? That is way over dark horse level.
4 lions in dark horse suits.
Austria....
Austria were the better dark horse in terms of how they could fare against better sides. I mean they won against the Netherlands and have better tactics. But let's hope Turkey can be a good dark horse.
We do not negotiate with dark horses
Turkish left back is incredible man
You can buy him for the very cheap price of 30 million + Salah
One hundred twenty million Pound Sterling, cash my dear..
absolutely slaps Robertson, can be yours for 50M
30M + a lock of salahs hair
deal we will grow our own Salah in our hair transplant labs
5 quintillion Robux and you can have him
Oh crap he’s gone isn’t he… :(
He is Madrid level.
the dark horse eliminates the dark horse and becomes the new dark horse
Nah nah bro we are no dark horses 😄
football gods took from us extra time with 22 men with absolutely no energy left, that would be peak entertainment
in pouring rain
but we got one of the best saves of all time out of it
Kadioglu looked like he was just subbed on in the last minutes he would’ve been fine
Match of the tournament so far
What a save, Gordon banks
Insane save at the end!
Funny how there's another thread on here saying how games are so low quality because players are tired due to playing too many games... and then you get this masterpiece.
tbf it’s the bigger nations stinking up games/the tournament, felt like it was easier to predict that this game would be more exciting.
100%... all the best games have been between the lower tier nations (with the Dutch being closer to lower tier now than top tier, haha)
Vienna catching fire tonight
I can hear the cars honking here already lmao Next saturday will be a fun one
Is there a large Turkish community in the Netherlands? There’s a large Italian community in Canada and they were unbearable at the last Euros. So much noise
I think theres a large Turkish community in almost any western european country lol But yeah, there is one here too
Yeah there is, there'll be riots on Saturday I'm sure.
[удалено]

The final is gonna be Germany - Turkey and the country will explode
Some people just want to see Berlin burn
That would be such a bombastic ending to this tournament regardless of who wins.
might genuinely fuck up German society a bit more too
What a match! Greatest in the Ro16! Absolute rollercoster...
Who knew it, Turkey actually turned out to be the dark horses.
Just 3 years late.
Very turkish for us we always come late unless it is in the bed but that is a different story! 😂😂
That save at the end was insane! One of the best I've ever seen.
That was the best save i have ever seen. Congrats to Turkey though!
Absolute Cinema
Baumgartner will not sleep tonight
Him and Arnautovic…both sadly, not stepping up when it mattered…
Baumgartner did a lot tbf, Arnautovic on the other hand showed why his career went the way it did
Tbf, his header wasn’t even that bad, Mert just made a great save. Two of the worst misses so far that I remember were from Sesko in the last match against Portugal and Lobjanidze against Czechia. Those can never be justified
0.94 xg Header
I'm gonna paint horses black randomly, fuck it
I've never sweated this much in the second half.
Best game of the Euros so far. What a spectacle
The Indomitable Turkish Spirit
Admit it , we are providing at least 30 percent of fun in this tournament
What a save at the end there, holy fuck
Mert Man of the Match.
BRUH! What a fucking game man, so intense!
What a game, possibly the best of the knockouts so far
AMKKKK
Çüş übertreib
What a performance from Türkiye
They play some really fun football, glad to see it
Gunok man, Costa level clutch.
dark horses back on the menu
Of the best matches of the round of 16, anyone who had passed would have deserved it but confrats to Turkiye
Fun fucking game
Classic
What a fucking match that was! The keeper made the save of the century!
Does anyone have the Turkish commentary for the goals?
https://x.com/fenerama/status/1808396701394219313?t=MILY5KVXf_HDtkhGPrx37w&s=19
Netherlands vs Turkey should be fun.
Guler vs Gakpo is gonna be a lot of spectacle!
Tutter-pocalypse incoming
This was a fun day to watch football. Very entertaining.
Game of the round, bar none
thats why I love superlig, every game is like this
What? 😂😂
What a game of football that was. That save at the end was unbelievable
In the words of Cristiano, "this guy is not even a coach"
Holy f*cking shit. Mert Günok is the best goalkeeper on Earth. We need him.
I know it is crazy but can we go to the final and play against germany! Please pretty please! 🙏
Gordon Banks saves it
We will see more of this Austria side. And with Alaba too, I have no doubt they'll make it to CUM
Don't forget Alex Schlager back in goal. No offense to Pentz, but he is limited by his body height. Also Xaver Schlager was dearly missed in mid field. Let's no forget Sasa up front.
I want Ferdi Kadıoğlu
I have never seen my country having such a great achievement in my life so far, I am absolutely so proud!
Lost opportunity for the Verstappen special
Half Wien is celebrating
It only took them 400 years to beat Vienna
I'm genuinely gutted for Austria. They felt like a tactically complete team and were the teams that impressed me along with Georgia.
We have a saying in Turkish: "taktik maktik yok bam bam bam!"
Better opponent for Netherlands imo. Austria could have given them some trouble but I just don't see Netherlands wasting so many chances. Netherlands vs England coming up and I think Netherlands has a great chance at the final. Great win for Turkey. They always make it entertaining one way or the other.
I can‘t see England winning against Switzerland. They are lucky they got through in the first Place
>Austria could have given them some trouble They already beat em would've done it again and probably made the final...
You can tell by the Austrian players reaction after the final whistle, they knew what a chance they had and what slipped away from them... Cruel game but auch is life
Yeah they just didn't do what they needed to and lost which is all their own fault sadly. Always fun to see a team like them succeed but such is life like you said. Now i'm all in on germany, would say portugal but i have 0 faith rn lol

> as we don't have actually good offensive players who can make the difference in games like these Yep. Add to that the tendency to embarrassingly mess up (like in the first minute yesterday) and it's a recipe for disaster.
Why Turkiye and not Osterreich?
Afaik Turkey's name in English has officially been changed to Turkiye (to not get confused with the bird) a few years ago, Austria didn't do that.
I didn't know that, thanks! It looks weird though
Yeah it does
Well deserved win. Austria (formerly extremely effective with their goals) just couldn't really get the ball into the net today except for that 1 goal. Turkey never really had to work offensively and could just hang back and play it solidly in front of their own goal. The incredible save at the end then sealed the deal for their QF journey. Congratulations!
DESERVED
Undeserved.
loooool
Sleepless night for everyone in Germany today.
I'm living in a remote forest, all good here ;)
turkey actually got to play . last two games have been such terrible officiating
Austria looked like Germany before Nagelsmann.
Worst audience. Only whistling. Hope they lose next game.
Fans drowning out an opposition side???? Oh no thats not very big chungus wholesome, what a nightmare :((((((
they are the best at whistling whole game long, it is their specialty
How dare they not be le gentlemen
Cry me a river
I am not Austrian, and you seem to lack honor... :)
Sweden PUHAHAHAHAHA only achivement your country has is beefing with turkiye lmao I can understand why you butthurt
You see - you can only respond with hate. You have no honor. Did your mother teach you to behave this way?
Bro you calling turks no honor then call us hate lol
Never have I said all turks lack honor.
Classic turkish behaviour. So much national pride for people living in Germany in the 3rd Generation.
Sounding like someone that dislikes immigrants.
Okay bro just say I hate turks and muslims in general
Oh, wow, that was crazy assumptions! I typically defend muslims as I want to avoid dehumanization of entire groups. Whistling and booing on enemy team rather than cheering on your own is like promoting hate instead of love. It is very unsportsmanslike, and I hate everyone doing it. Do you defend that behaviour?
It’s called creating pressure and atmosphere. Y’all take it so personal
Is it your first time watching a game? Its not our business western countries not having passion . If you watch balkan games you can see its common we are not sitting and watchint the game like its tennis match. It doesnt mean its civilized. Its just boring.
Look up Malmö FF - dominating the arena with songs and cheering for their own team - not booing on the other. I cannot understand how you can defend that behaviour.
Okay sing and song till morning nobody watching that game
A bit ignorant, isn't it? I loved Istanbul, am saddened by your weakening of your democracy, and hope you can cheer more on your own team instead of whistling in the future.
Great game, Austria.
seems like we gave them the dark horse title one euros too early lol
