EURO'2008 GAME 2: GROUP A PORTUGAL 2 TURKEY 0

A game to be excited about as The Portuguese who seem to get closer and closer to success each tournament demolished The Turks.

Two-nil it was, the second goal with the game’s last kick but it could have been several more with the woodwork hit three times, The Turk keeper making several saves and shots raining on goal. The Turks were hapless victims but when their front line is led by Tuncay who looked worse than average playing against Cardiff City for Middlesbrough, why be surprised?

Portugal lack a striker and overplay but are a joy to watch. Goals came from two substitutues both shortly after coming on, both coming from excellent moves, made The Portuguese look a side to be reckoned with. Thing is, those teams which looked brilliant at the start tend to miss out when it gets to the business end of a tournament.
