Turkish players in your team, anyone?

pokkeherrie · 06.22.2008, 11:34 AM

I don't have any Turks... didn't expect them to win their last two games! In fact I had so much confidence in a clean sheet for Croatia that I had a Croatian defender as a sub, so that I could wildcard Robben or Van Persie out for a non-playing forward/midfielder as a back-up plan for either of them not starting.

Surely, I'll have to look into it now, but who? It's much safer to bet on the Germans...

PAULYBEE2656 · 06.22.2008, 12:44 PM

thinking about adding a few turks because they could well be this years greece... turkey russia final is not too far away!

PAULYBEE2656 · 06.22.2008, 03:39 PM

god this spain italy game is dreadful. the italians know how to kill a game and make it boring as fuck... i suppose thats what happens when you have wayne coyne coaching you!

HECKLER SPRAY · 06.22.2008, 04:19 PM

I think I'm cursed.

yeah, it was boring as hell, but Spain won !!!
Good.
I wonder why they let Di Natale shoot at the penalty session.

PAULYBEE2656 · 06.22.2008, 04:31 PM

at least the team who tried and played football won.. this is gonna be a russia turkey final tho!

nicfit · 06.22.2008, 04:39 PM

Well deserved elimination. Horrid teamplay by italy. Spain didn't play a great game but they totally deserved the victory.
As I said, Russia ftw.

pokkeherrie · 06.23.2008, 04:42 AM

When after just eight(!) minutes into the game the entire Italian team are on their own half waiting for the Spanish to come out, then you know it's going to be a dreadfully long boring 120 minutes. I suppose they missed Pirlo in this game, but sorry nic fit, I'm glad they're out.

GrungeMonkey · 06.23.2008, 06:16 AM

i think spain played well, considering that italy never gave them any space or time on the ball, there were some good moves and did well to create the few opportunities they did... russia v spain is hard to call, but i think that spain should do it...
in terms of my fantasy football team, its all gone pear shaped.

PAULYBEE2656 · 06.23.2008, 08:38 AM

im still unbelievably holding onto a third place but the lead is becoming runaway... need my first round luck to come back...

im reckoning on turkey russia final but it is hard not to fill yr team with germans isnt it!

Bertrand · 06.23.2008, 10:16 AM

I'll rep anyone who includes at least 7 Turks in their teams, all defenders and forwards.
This is not bribery.

HECKLER SPRAY · 06.23.2008, 10:21 AM

7 ?
If I do it, they 'll inevitably lose...
You know, I'm cursed.

HECKLER SPRAY · 06.23.2008, 04:59 PM

hey, I'm not the last one !!! I can't believe it !!!
I'm next to last.

Teehee, they only have a total of 7 non-injured/suspended defenders + forwards left so it's not hard to decide which ones to select.

Anyway, if anyone has ever wanted to make Bertrand look a like a fool; here's your chance! Take revenge for Premier League fantasy! Field 7 Turks and watch them roll up Germany by surprise. Afterwards you can laugh at Bertrand.

Bertrand · 06.24.2008, 01:10 PM

You have offended me, pokke. I would have never expected that from you. That was so rude that I ask you, in the memory of the concert we saw, not to read the rest of my text.

OK. Now we're alone. My tactics worked really well on the Dutch. Laughing at someone who's only wanted to help you isn't a good thing. pokkeherrie, in spite of his detached attitude, knows that. He will soon feel sorry for his agression, and a little voice in his head will whisper him : "transfer that bloke in, he ain't really injured... transfer this one..." and so on. An act of redemption, you may call.

And in the meanwhile, we will all go forth. When it was only I who took the risks. Think about it, everybody. And hear that voice...

PAULYBEE2656 · 06.24.2008, 03:03 PM

bertrand i fucking tempted... really tempted but their star striker is suspended isnt he... man thats good gamble... if they do it ill kick myself for not taking up the turkish gauntlet...

HECKLER SPRAY · 06.25.2008, 07:19 PM

It was a close match, I was expecting for an extra time, but finally Germany won during the last seconds.
And made me win 27 points. Now I'm 11th. Thank you !!!

PAULYBEE2656 · 06.26.2008, 08:07 AM

im down to fourth.. need a high scoring russian game with spauin fighting.. i need miracles to be honest.... im down to 4th.. it could be close

tonights game is gonna be a cracker..
fucking germans,..... lucky bastards.

nicfit · 06.26.2008, 08:11 AM

SO, looks like I'm getting better at this game now that everything is about to end... talk about perfect timing... huh.
