 Italian Soccer Serie A Supports 100% Czech Republic in honor of our 3 players from the Italian Serie A playing for the Czech Republic against Turkey in the UEFA EURO 2008 Tournament in Austria and Switzerland: Zdenek Grygera (Juventus), Marek Jankulovski (AC Milan), Tomas Ujfalusi (Fiorentina). 

                 Jankulovski                      Ujfalusi                          Grygera
                       


There are no players from the Serie A in Turkey.

Incredible but Czech Republic lost the match in the last 10 minutes when they were ahead by 2-1.  A moment of madness seems to dominate the last minutes when Turkey Nihal Kahveci scored a doppietta.  Kahveci is the hero for Turkey!

In the 33rd minute, great action for the Czech and our Milan defender Marek Jankulovski and Sionko. Then, great intervention by our Juventus midfielder Zdenek Grygera  putting the ball for Jan Koller to blast Turkey goalkeeper with a header into the top corner. Turkey 0 - 1 Czech Republic



Here is the video of the second goal of Czech Republic by Jaroslav Plasil in the 62nd minute. Unbelievable, Czech was winning here!   Turkey 0 - 2 Czech Republic



An error of Czech Republic goalkeeper Petr Cech resulted in a penalty kick in favor of Turkey in the last minutes.  Wow.  Practically, Czech is out by two mistakes of once "hero" Goalkeeper Petr Cech!  Unbelievable.
