I just witnessed one of the greatest games in sports history (may be a slight exaggeration). Turkey and Croatia just finished playing their Quarterfinal match for Euro 2008, one would clinch their first semifinal appearance in the tournament ever.

I didn't have a lot riding on the game, I didn't particularly care who won because I knew Germany would beat the winner in the next game. However I watched anyway...all 130 minutes of it.
With Turkey and Croatia trading near goals (Croatia came within inches with one attempt) during the regulation time they went into extra time with a 0-0 tie. The Turks seemed to be giving up at the end of the second half.
With the start of extra time, though, they went straight on the offensive, getting in more than 5 shots in the first 15 minute extra time period. The second period slowed down considerably, with both sides preparing for penalty kicks. However in 119 Croatia scored when the Turks' goalie came out and conceded a header. The game was over. However in two previous games the Turks had come back from a deficit to win the game, the latest being against Czech Republic to clinch their Quarterfinal spot. They did it again, with seconds left on the clock the Turks' goalie kicks a last ditch free kick up to the top, a player receives it and takes a WILD shot and puts it right in the upper corner of the net.

After that the Turks dominated, only needing 3 shots to win in penalty kicks. I literally almost ran around my house when both goals were scored, truly and amazing game. I swear the Turks have black magic on their side to come back and win 3 games in a row. If you missed this game I feel sorry for you, it was one hell of a ride.
