this finish was better than a shootout

Czechs are overrated big time. 2 group stage finishes.

Most definately. Had the keeper pushed the player before ball had gone out of play we could have had both.
Nevertheless it was great to see Turkey win.

Was that a straight red for the push? To be honest I think a straight red for a push is a bit harsh, as players do it a lot in games and never receive anything. The czech player made a meal of it too. Was a yellow in my opinion.

Yes, straight red. There is no absolutely no need to do that. I would liked to have seen Tunçay make at least one save !

I agree that there was no need to do that and that hes a bit of dickhead for it. But really, that referee should now redcard every player that pushes another player outside of play. Be interesting to see how many reds he will clock up.
