Croatia-Turkey: What a game

You’ve got to be kidding me. Croatia scores in the 119th minute to break a 0-0 tie, and two minutes later, Turkey equalizes, then wins on penalties? And without many of their starters due to card accumulation and injury? With a backup keeper who played out of his mind for 120 minutes and penalty phase? You’ve got to be kidding me. This, folks, is what championship soccer is all about.

And did you see the Croatian side, exhausted and disconsolable? And the Turks, exhausted but playing on against Germany. You just can’t root against the Turks or count them out, regardless of the odds against them.
