zvonimir, the Croats launched an offensive against the innocent Serbs living in Croatia and ethnically cleansed the region. It says so in the UN reports. You are fascist criminals FOREVER, and disgust most of the world who knows the truth. Smrt for fascists.

Look Bella, why would Croatia apologize for something individuals did during the war? And our crimes are incomparable to the crimes Serbs did to us. Also, there was no ethnic cleansing of Serbs after operation Storm(Oluja). 99% of Serbs left their homes couple of days before our army liberated the territory. Their leaders were planing an evacuation years before our operation. There were some crimes, but only individual.
About the second world war, we are ashamed of hat time. But why doesn't anybody talk about post war crimes against Croats? About 100 000 people were killed after the war and nobody was condemned.
And you mustn't forget on thing, CROATIA WAS ATTACKED BY SERBIA! We had to defend our country which had very little support from other countries. We did it and we are PROUD of that victory which some sporadic and INDIVIDUAL crimes cannot minimize.

Well what can I say, such a FANTASTIC match on Friday I couldn't leave my seat.
Trust us to bring the drama, excitement and unpredictability.
I am so proud of the heart and passion our Turkish footballers have and how they don't believe in giving up until the final second.
I hope they will win against Germany and go on to prove to everyone that they are capable of achieving anything despite all the negativity they receive.
Big Respect to Fatih Terim a truly remarkable man who has bought them so far!

Another thing stop with all the bitter and nasty comments about the Croats, this is not who we are, this is not what the TURKS are about.
This is game that should bring us all together and we should be able to leave our differences at home!
One of my closest friend is Croatian and I love her like my own sister and is closer to me than most Turkish friends, so lets not punish those who have no control over ploitical issues.

We are only here to prove on thing and that is we are more than capable of becoming one of the world's top football teams!

Peace & Love to all Turks & Croats!

This Euro 2008 is the best ever,Turks showed the World something quite new here,World will talk and coaches will inspire,people won't loose hope until the end ,it is not over until it is over. Turks proved it many times, it will go to history books. Good game ,Turks Rocks

zvonimir, Canada apologized to the Natives for the crimes committed against the Natives, and an FYI, a lot of Natives did not die due to violence or genocide, but through disease that the whites brought along that they were not immune to. The Croats, as far as I know, never apologized for their crimes against the Serbs and Muslims. The Croats keep repeating the same crimes, Canada does not. That is what is disturbing and disgusting.

It is such a shame that Croats attacked the Bosnian Muslims in Mostar because the Croats were losers. This is another thing that they should be ashamed of on top of their fascist past and recent war crimes that they are guilty of, including ethnic cleansing of 200,000 Serbs in Croatia. Why are you people so violent?

GO GO GO Turkey
zizou burada bile buldum seni :)

as I am a turk, I have some complicated feelings, this is just a game, what has this victory changed in our lives ? nothing, I don't understand why we are so happy over this game, there are big problems facing us, such as unemployment, security, inflation, poverty, I remember C. A. Parreira (former Brazilian coach) saying before the 2006 world cup " even if we managed to be the world champion, what would it change in Brazilians' lives, nothing! "

ahh wot eva DA TURKS ARE THE BEST AND THATS THAT! CROATIAS R JST WASTE THAT LUK LIKE ALBAIANS WITH THEIR BIG NOSES'S WOT EVA! TURKS TILL THE END WE SMAKCED IT BIG TIME!!!

And cut the @#$%, every country has something in their past which they should be ashamed of.

To bella from Canada, your country should first deal with your own past and then give lessons to my country. We have only 4 years for witch we are ashamed of(1941-45), but your country is based on genocide against the natives in north America. From the end of 19. century to the 70's 150 000 Indian children were taken from their families and half of them died. Is that the ''democrat and liberal'' Canada?

To all the Croatian fascists, I want to congratulate you on once again proving that your fascism has not changed from your Nazi allegiance. Now in Mostar dozens were hurt simply because you were losers and couldn't face the fact that you're nothing.
Of course, this violent, disgusting behaviour is not a surprise, considering the ethnic cleansing you committed against the Serbs in Croatia. Croats, I know you're proud of this new act of violence in Mostar, just as you are proud of your fascist past and recent war crimes that you committed. Congrats, you deserve the recognition!

bir türk olarak türkçe yazmak bana yakışır biz türkler zoru başarırız imkansız biraz zaman alır şöle bi tarihe dönün bi bakın dünya her zaman bizden korkmuş ve çekinmiştir hiç bir ülke bizim güçlü olmamızı istemez çünkü güçlü olduğumuz da neler yapabileceğimizi bilirler çok yakın da avrupa bizi istemese de kabul etmek zorunda kalacaksınız yakın da biz de sizleri istemiyeceğiz Back tomorrow germany Turk returned

Roof that noble blood

Great game Turks. Glad you won, and in the fashion you did. Winning 20-0 would not be as good as this victory was. Letting them have a laughter for a minute was fantastic, then scoring in the last minute was even better. Then finally, the penalties. I mean WOW!!!

This is supposed to be just a game, a sports torunament. They say no to racism just about every game. And some idiots here take it totally opposite. If you are a Turk, or anybody else, relax, chill and enjoy the victory.

For all the Croats, good luck next time, and for those of you who were boasting how your country stopped Turkey from invading Europe in the 17th century, first go back to school and learn some history, Turks were actually under Vienna's walls, and second, now go join Mr. Srna and the rest of the national team in their tears. I guess there will be a flooding soon in Croatia and all the countries where Sava and Danube flow :)

I am glad especially for idiots who consider themselves Ustasha's in Bosnia. They sang nazi songs and tried to impose themsleves on peaceful neighbors. Now they are quiet and in tears. Good job Turkey. If you knew how much this victory meant for people worldwide. Not just Turks. Whatever happens now, it is ok, I hope u win the rest of your games. But if you don't, this was the championship game.

Fate is a strange thing, is it not??? Croatian pride was one, but nationalism, nazism, religious hatred brought them what they deserve, which is not a loss, but a HEARTBREAKING LOSS:)

As a Turk, I want to congratulate the Croatian side for a well played game, hats off to the Croatians, you are a good team and we Turks respect your new country and your football.

And of course, I want to give a standing applause to my team, the Turkish side, they didnt play their best, they made lots of mistakes, but they played with spirit and heart and won, well done Turkish team, we are proud of you all. :)))

Also to fellow Turks, pls try to ignore insultive comments attempted by some who try to stir us all up, dont fall for their trap.

We love Turkiye and we respect Croatia, long live football, long live Turkiye-Croatia friendship, long live Turkiye and world people.

Fingers crossed for the Turkiye-Germany match, go Turkiye.!

Hirvats are great team. It was a nice game and we won it. To tell the truth I had tears in my eyes, but at the same time I felt the sorrow of millions of Hirvats in my heart. To those who make stupid remarks about nations and peoples, just stop it. NOt all Hirvats are black-shirt nazi ustashas, avarage hirvat doesnt feel enomosity towards us.

Man o man... why do most people here talk about anything else than football. Truth be told it was a great game and unbelieveble result. It was a heartbreak for the Turks first and I was dissapointed because I thought I was going to watch a penalty shootout. But the biggest surprise came 2 minutes later. I feel for the Croats not being able to hold on... but thats the beauty of football. I believe it was meant to be a tie.

As for the rest of the comments people just get a life as no one is better then the next person here.

Hope to see a great game tonight Russia 3 Netherlands 3 (the dutch will progress on penalties)

Wednesday night match won't be an ordinary "match"! It will be a struggle of honour, pride, persistence and decree of two ancient and noble nations. Let the world taste this extraordinary delight. Let us remember the days that football was played like a game among friends! Let the best win!

I enjoyed watching ALL the teams that QUALIFIED for this Euro 2008, it has been a excellent tournament so far. I would like to congratulate all the teams that participated and for playing beautiful football for all of us to enjoy!!!

The Spanish, Dutch and Germans are always favourites in the Euro's, what makes football competitions exciting and entertaining is the unexpected surprise of other teams like Turkey producing exciting, inspirational and memorable matches.

Football is a BEUTIFUL game for ALL to SHARE in the experience and spread love, however, there are some people posting comments here that clearly sheds light on their shallow character.

We should all thank the Almighty, because they can not stop themselves showing their true intentions, which are fuelled by hatred and jealousy for others success.

If you take their comments out of football context, you will discover they are attempting to poison and divide groups of people, rather than bring together to celebrate and rejoice.

Goodluck to all the semi final teams.

Peace and Love.
