Have to say, this has been the closest euros in terms of team quality I've ever seen. The expected underdogs are all playing better than expected and Spain, maybe Germany aside all of the favorites have been utter garbage. Belgium, England, Portugal, France, Italy, Netherlands - all terrible so far.

I think France are showing signs of getting better, they will be a tough team to beat, still fancy them to win it

Fark, what a start, Turks score inside a minute, Austrians nearly equalise two minutes later. Scottish level defending on the goal.

Netherlands battered Romania earlier today: would expect them to make the final as they look a class above the remaining teams in their half of the draw.

quite fancied Austria and they have played alright again but big job on their hands now to turn this around

The Dutch finally turned up today, they have a good side on paper and showed it today

What a cracking game that was, terrific stuff from both teams.

And possibly the best refereeing performance I've ever seen, what a difference when the ref is not determined to make it all about him!

What a wonderful game. The Turks superb in the fast half, Austria on top in the second. Skill and energy, snappy and imaginative passing. Even the ref was brilliant. I’m not sure how many Turks will be out of the next game though.

Gotta hand it to Turkey with this crazy approach of attacking with pace, passing the ball forward and giving 100% effort and passion on the pitch and in the dugout

Phenomenal game and credit to everyone on the pitch
Hell of an atmosphere in the stadium an all

Quite fancied the Turks and called the 2-1
The games are like home ones for them - you never know…..

Cherish and enjoy life.... this ain't no dress rehearsal

Absolutely - that referee was a connoisseur of a well timed tackle. And hardly any VAR either.

Didn't want that to end.

I hate it when comms call,"Great save" when the ball was basically hit at the keeper, which is why that particular save, truly is a great one.

Nardiesque!

I didn't see THAT save last night by the Turkish gk, so just saw an article on BBC comparing it to Banks in 1970.
So just watched it and...

Nowhere near Banks save of 70'. The only similarity was the fact it was a downward header.

I'm pretty sure there are better saves in Euro history, which is the other thing the report mentioned. An Important save? Yes. Best ever in Euro history? Hhmmmm.

You’ve got a really good team there, superbly organised by Rangnick and you were very unlucky yesterday.

Yeah, thanks, we won our Group ahead of France and Holland, probably deservedly so, but they have gone on to the QF and we are out...

Also a pet hate of mine, Fred.

Agree, though, this is a really great save.

Watched it in real time and thought it was a decent save, he didn't have to stretch too far, and he claws it out. Decent save. Don't understand the hype about it, other than the fact that, of course, it prevented Austria from equalising and taking the game to extra time.

I think that what impressed me was that he judged the save so well after it bounced. He still had work to do to get to it as well, and to deflect it to safety. Many keepers wouldn't have achieved the last bit.

I've heard it called one of the greatest saves ever, which is stretching it, but I still thought that it was a great save.
