Unfortunately, Türkiye lost 2-1 in the quarter-finals against the Netherlands, where they had a 1-0 advantage in the first half. So far, it was a good fight, well done guys, thank you for your efforts, they did what was necessary. I think the biggest problem was Montella, he couldn't find the proper formation or he was just stubborn, I don't know.
Even though we had an advantage in the first half, we could not maintain this score. Our defenders lost their attention for a moment. The Dutch National Team scored two goals in a row. Congratulations Netherlands. Now there will be a match between England and the Netherlands in the semi-finals. I think the Netherlands will beat England.

This match surprised the Netherlands - Turkey how until Turkey defended until the end, while the Netherlands still struggled to equalize, I think many thought the Netherlands would qualify but this reality is still difficult, now there is still time for the Netherlands to do that.
Netherlands have equalized in the 70th minute and have also added another goal to take the lead now. It is now 2-1 in favour of Netherlands who came from behind to conquer the game. The pressure on Turkey was too much and they couldn’t hold on to that and defend their one goal, it is now turning sides and the possession and full control of the game is now in the Netherlands side. They just have about 12 minutes to the end of the match and Netherlands are still in full control of the game, which of course means they can add more goals before the end of the match to end 3-1. Turkey can try as football is unpredictable but I’m not certain they can win the game now again.This match surprised the Netherlands - Turkey how until Turkey defended until the end, while the Netherlands still struggled to equalize, I think many thought the Netherlands would qualify but this reality is still difficult, now there is still time for the Netherlands to do that.
In the final minutes Turkey attacked several times with crosses but the ball was successfully defended by the Dutch goalkeeper several times it should have been a big enough goal opportunity but look again the Dutch defense at the end is quite solid difficult to penetrate even though the attack was relentless.
England is officially waiting its opponent for the Semi finals between Netherlands against Turkey which is winning 1-0 right now while the match is still running. We have seen many matches going to the extra time and even penalties in this Euro, and this is proving the point of how hard and good the performance is, every team here is still giving their best to advance and eliminate their opponents.
We have seen two beautiful goals from Switzerland and England, the game wasn’t totally controlled by England but they performed better and held the ball more, however, Switzerland also they were dangerous with counter attacks.
Turkey also surprisingly are holding the score of this match while Netherlands are trying to equalize as soon as possible before the end of it and falling against another less expected team, beside lowest odds.

England may have dominated this match, but certainly not enough to go to the semi-finals of the championship. I will be amazed if they with such a disgusting and boring game somehow miraculously end up in the final, they don't deserve it. Throughout the whole European Championship they won with minimal score, is that how serious teams play? I would understand if they had opponents of the level of Germany, Spain, France, but no, lol
So, all the participants in the semi-finals are known and here are the odds for the title holder:
Spain 3.00
England 3.50
France 3.75
Netherlands 5.50
I wonder why dead England and half-dead France are rated so much better than the Netherlands? Does anyone expect that starting from the semifinals they will seriously improve their game? This is a strange assumption, especially considering that both England and France spent 120 minutes in the quarter-finals.

We watched a classic Turkish team. The more they played well throughout the match, the more likely they were to win. In fact, they showed a performance that surprised many people.
What happened then? We conceded 2 goals in 5 minutes. And we lost the match by conceding a goal completely due to a defensive error. I wish this match would go to overtime. The happy side at the end of the match was the Netherlands

I see England in the final already to be frank I expected them to win if they could defend well, though i thought Switzerland team would have a better position to win a penalty shootout but England did shockingly better there than I expected since they usually have a player missing a penalty kick good for them, good to see them making it to the Semi-finals
I don't see them going past the Netherlands if they win tonight's match. Just a few minutes away. Netherlands with Cody Gapko and Memphis Depay seem a little more organized. Maybe they could have a better chance if Turkey went through.

Actually, it's not surprising that England escaped because they should have played more easily because the Swiss opponent was a little tighter including in his defense, so this was held to a draw until extra time.We have seen two beautiful goals from Switzerland and England, the game wasn’t totally controlled by England but they performed better and held the ball more, however, Switzerland also they were dangerous with counter attacks.

Both teams have indeed worked hard to win before the penalty shootout but the game is strong to defend each other including in a balanced attack in my opinion with the penalty shootout maybe England is more experienced so it passes.

Netherlands might likely win, but I will not disrupt the chances of Turkey team winning since they have surprisingly gotten this far playing pretty well notably against Austria where some would definitely have picked Austria over them base on how Austria played in the groups stage but I think no matter who make it to semi-final against England, England will likely come out victorious Edit:
Had to edit my post since its obvious now Netherlands seems the better team here leading Turkey 2 goals to 1 now,thanks for an own goal they hot the lead now

Suprisenly, the English team have got to the Semi-finals, they've got a squad that's capable of getting them to that point, but from their performance in the tournament I didn't expect them to reach the Semi-finals however, it's football after all and like they say, anything is possible, thanks to the goal from Saka that got them to embark on an extra 30mins and then to a penalty shootout which got them to the Semi-finals and like you said they'll be probably playing against Turkey or Netherlands. Well it would've been easier for the Turkish team to qualify for the Semi-finals if they've held their defense line for about 15-20 mins more but then they allowed Netherlands to utilize their little chance and Memphis Depay scored the equalising goal for Netherlands and then Cody Gakpo scored another goal few minutes later to put them ahead in the game, Turkish defence line was very losed and I think they've missed the chance of qualifying to the next round.

I want to believe it, or at least I hope so. Turkey’s performance in the first half has also boosted my hopes. I hope they can maintain this level of play in the second half and face England in the semi-finals. Good luck to Turkey in the second half!

What did you expect from such tight and unpredictable matches?France, and England were very lucky because it all ended in a penalties which shows how intense the competition is and this current stage is only for champions.
So far, Turkey is leading by one goal, and with the effort they are putting to add more goals and also to defend the already scored goal, I am thinking that they can make it to face England even though Netherland is dominating the game, but yet Turkiye is given them tough time because they are attacking them well.
The Netherlands only dominated possession of the ball, they did not pose much danger to Türkiye in defense. Türkiye may not be favorites to be in the semi-finals from the start, but their performance is so good that they can be expected to progress. I don't know, the match is still going on and there is still a lot of time until the final whistle.
I can't say the Netherlands are doing pretty well in tonight's game because I was expecting them to be the ones dominating the game, more dribbling and all that but they only control the ball but not getting it more in the danger area of the Turkey side. I love how the Turkey national team are handling this game without relaxing on the ball, sending it to the half of the Netherlands and the defense of the Orange Nation like you call them isn't strong enough to hold back the Turkey players, if it continues this way I don't see Netherlands coming back to win this game. I think this will be the only game that won't take us to extra time.
Türkiye managed to win the first half and as you say Netherland has not made any dangerous attempts, if there are no changes in the second half then I think the situation will be even more difficult for Netherland. Previously I said that Türkiye could make a surprise in this match because they have the ability to do it and has often reached the semifinals in several tournaments, should we say congratulations to Türkiye earlier or Netherland will answer in the last minute?
15 minutes into the second half and I saw that Netherland were under pressure this is a sign that they will be eliminated lol, 2 yellow cards will also hinder the movement of Netherland players and if they can't control it then they can just play with 10 players. By the way this will be the only match without extra time in the quarter finals after another 3 games have to go through it.
England, Spain and France have both confirmed themselves for the semifinals, all of them are really working hard to win that ticket. There were no easy matches in the quarter-finals, England and France escaped through a penalty shootout, Spain also almost went to the penalty round if Merino didn't score before the end of the second half of extra time.

One of Turkey and the Netherlands will also qualify for the semi-finals to play England, but based on the performance in the first half then I really believe Turkey might qualify. Turkey's performance in the first half really troubled the Dutch defense and it was very chaotic, Turkey even managed to lead the first half with a 0-1 lead over the Netherlands.
Does anyone believe Türkiye will qualify for the semifinals to play England?

I'm watching the match and I'm really excited about Türkiye's performance. Montella is doing a really great job with the Turkish national team
To say that he hasn't managed to establish himself in Italy, Tardelli was saying it was a question of fashion, this wouldn't surprise me.

Football can be something else sometimes, of all the games we had in the quarter finals, Netherlands was weighted to be the much more easier one for the orange nation, and unfortunately as things stand Turkey look like the better team of the two and got ahead with their usual aerial advantage to go 1up before halftime but I believe big teams need these kind of goals just to wake them up just like we saw with England earlier on!
Inplay prediction, Netherlands 2-1 Turkey.
Come on Orange Nation we can get this comeback going!!!

The kind of surprising result and performance we're seeing in the Netherlands vs Turkey game is one of the reasons why football known as a sport you can't just easily predict. Just like you rightly said, this particular game was the many people didn't find it difficult to predict the outcome because of how impressive the Oranje have been in the tournament but right now, the underdogs Turkey are leading with a goal to nil after halftime and if they can protect their lead for the next 45 minutes which I know will be extremely difficult, Turkey will be playing in the semi finals of the European Championship while the Dutch team will be relegated.Inplay prediction, Netherlands 2-1 Turkey.
Come on Orange 🍊 Nation we can get this comeback going!!!
Netherlands I know will want to start the second half with a lot of pressures that might break the Turkish defense open and considering the quality of attacking players in the Netherlands team, o think they stand a good chance of finding an equalizer bit they just have to be very careful of the Turkish young attackers who are pacy enough yo hit on the counter
Inplay prediction, Netherlands 2-1 Turkey.
Come on Orange 🍊 Nation we can get this comeback going!!!
No doubt about the Dutch ability to recover from this One goal deficit, going into the second half, Do play more attacking football and put more pressure on the turkey back line. If they can score an early in this game, they'll be back in to win it to ensure their place in the semi finals against England. If Netherlands make it through to the next round, it will make the competition tougher and more unpredictable but I like to see Turkiye through to the next round to at least represents the smaller countries in this competition. Come on Orange 🍊 Nation we can get this comeback going!!!
If you were the Turkiye coach, what will you tell your team in the halftime, more attack, or try defend the goal they have?
