“Come Back Kings” strike again

The match started boring nothing really happening, Semih got the first shot in the game and the keeper hung onto the ball very well. Armenia managed a long range shot and Volkan stretched alot.

Turkey: 0 [...]

So far Turkey has defeated Slovakia 1-0 and has lost to Uruguay 3-2. The match against Finland was one in which Fatih Terim was to determine who was and who wasn’t going to play against Portugal. So how did the match go?
