Croatia Vs Turkey

Im_No_Superman

I fully expect to see Croatia win this one, they are a very well rounded team, with probaly the best defence left in the tournament imo. Ill go with a 2-0 win to croatia.

Croatia, deffo.

I have them in a sweep, so they better bloody win.

Yep, Croatia for me also. The only thing about Turkey is that they're gathering momentum and their confidence will be sky high. But the Croats will be too strong for them, i'm sure
Croatia - Spain final!!

curry-muff

I know everyones writing them off (myself included) but could those resilient turks surprise us tonight???

Sherifu

Croatia for me.

Mad Dog

I can see Croatia winning this one but not by a wide margin, it could even go beyond 90 minutes.

Steve_o

Croatia 3 - 0 Turkey....:cool:

Drummerboy2

Yes, I see a very open game but Croatia to win by at least 3 clear goals.

Malice

I'm going to go with the majority and side with Croatia too. Turkey were the width of post away from going 3-0 down to the Czechs and really only got back into the game after being gifted a goal by Petr Cech so I can't see them getting past a Croatia team that has played some fabulous football in the tournament.

TwoShedsJackson

This'll probably be a pretty mad game, I'd say Croatia to win by the odd goal, and a red card for one on each side.

mike65

And a riot outside probably give the nature of some Croats and Turks.
I'll like to see Turkey do it but they won't get out of jail twice.

Mike.

Tom65

I'll go with everyone else and say Croatia. I'd guess 2-0 or 3-1. I think Croatia are professional enough to make sure it doesn't go down to the wire.

Im thinking Croatia. They look the best organised team left.
Also have them in my Sweeps :P

Bubs101

I think Croatia will win but at 4-1 my money will be one Turkey. Really overpriced

kryogen

where the hell did you get 4/1!!! i can only find best price of 11/4

Bubs101

Someone on the gambling forum quoted that price, haven't bothered looking myself

EDIT: He was right, Betfair 4-1

Nalz

Do tell 4/1!

Guys for massive money

Would you back croatia at 5/6 to win in 90 mins

Or

2/5 to qualify.

I thought it was better value to go for qualifying rather then the win over the 90min , so the price i negotiated was 4/9 with 500 on it :eek:

2/5 to qualify is far too small. The odds are on the side of Turkey for this game, no doubt. I think Croatia will win, but the odds are certainly over compensating. Go for something like Croatia HT/FT for value

Tom65

C'mon the Croats!

you kidding me , for €500 euro mate you want to be buying money in these games hence the 4/9 bet on Croatia to qualify from this match(ET and penalties INCL)

Is there anyone else actually watching this? All the talk so far has been of betting...

Bah, I bet on France to win and, having seen their first match, I more or less avoided them after that

The Croatian people will be after you.

It's genuinely difficult to hit the crossbar from that kind of chance.

Thanx 4 The Fish

Modric was mildly displeased too judging from hi reaction.

can you be more specific? some of us don't have TVs who missed? and how could it be worse than Gomez's?

Tom65

The commentator called it when he said Croatia are beginning to tear Turkey apart. Only a matter of time, surely?

Modric gets round the back, slides in a fantastic ball across the face of goal and Olic has hit the bar from four yards out! Nico Kovac followed up and headed over the bar!

In fairness, everyone went ape over Gomez miss but it took a bit of a bobble. It lifted a bit at the very least just before it got to him.

Culchie

I haven't seen any team take on the defence and get to the byline before crossing backward as much as Croatia do...it's good to see.

Modric went down the right side, edge of the box near the by line, played a ball across the box to which Olic got his feet to six yards out with only the keeper to beat. At this stage, i could see an 11/2 1st goalscorer bet come off but Olic hit the bloody crossbar!!! As someone already said, it was easier to score!!
I can't believe Tuncay got booked for that 'elbow'. Jesus, he only went up for the ball. Football is becoming like basketball

Turkey starting to come back into this a bit

Bobalicious93

Anyone else see one of the Croatian coaches putting a full-nelson on Pranjic?
wonder what he did to deserve that :D

You don't understand the term value. What I meant was that the odds were too low. That is what the term value refers to. It doesn't mean you want a bet with as many outs as possible (ET, Penos etc.), it's a term that strictly refers to whether the odds you got were fair odds for the bet, and personally, I think the odds are too small. 2/3 would have been my lowest.

mike65

Hmm I predict a good second half from Turkey.

Mike.

Bobalicious93

I predict a riot

I wish you would lay that . I do fully understand were you are coming from though.

Make the bad men stop.

mike65

Gawd another 30 mins, can't we go straight to penos?

Mike.

Tom65

I think the lack of replies says a lot about this game. And how utterly crap it is.

Fuzzy_Dunlop

Does George Hamiltons pronunciation of Niko in Niko Kovac remind anyone else of this?:pac:

jester77

zzzzzzzzzz

Does Vulcan remind anyone else of Nico Bellic?

carlop
