If the Dutch learned their lessons from the Romania game I expect them to dispatch of the Turks.

The host teams are both getting to the semis. Let's go

I believe at least two players on the Turkish team are Dutch-born and raised - Kadioglu and Kökçü. In fact both played in various Holland youth outfits before declaring for the senior Turkey team.

Kadioglu was also eligible to rep Canada.

Still rooting for Germany B, but glad to see that. Just a shame it’s not three games to make sure there’s no chance of him still playing at this tourney.

Such an idiot.. let his team and country down although there will be a pile of Turks that see him as a hero for this.
