The Czech Republic was up 2-0 with 15 minutes left in regulation. They had arguably one of the best goal keepers in the world with Petr Cech in front of the net. Turkey didn’t stand a chance, right?
Wrong.
This has got to be one of the most exciting soccer games I’ve ever seen. Unbelievable.
It even included Volkan Demirel, the Turkish goal keeper receiving a Red Card in the final seconds requiring him to remove his distinctive goal keeper jersey and leave the field. A Turkish defender then had to put on his sweaty jersey and Hamburger Helper gloves and take on the goal keeping chores.
Exciting!
