Of course, Turkey's victory is being envied elsewhere. The German minister applied for an investigation after Merih Demiral's sign. I don't think UEFA will give a penalty, I think it shows the respect of Germany that the German minister, who was silent about a lot of actions before this action, is silent about this action. Turkey's win seems to have upset not only the Austrians.
Merih Demiral's goal celebration certainly has no ill intention. This is the Gray Wolf sign, the symbol of us Turks. It is not an act that resembles racism, but an act made by those who love their country. Moreover, considering that some malicious symbols have been used in Germany in the past, the German minister's statements are unfortunate because this movement is not on any banned list in Germany. Merih scored 2 goals and celebrated in his own special way.
That's right, it's too much to worry about.
Demiral scored a goal for his country in a very important match so it is natural that he would be emotional and celebrate what he did and regarding the symbolism of Demiral's goal celebration there has never been a problem before.
So I think this is a normal and natural action.
Somehow the Dutch made this match seem like a fairly easy match for them. I didn't even suspect that Romania would suffer a crushing defeat in that match. Even though Romania is also a fairly strong team which even managed to top group E in the group stage. But in front of the Dutch national team, apparently I didn't see any big surprises from Romania. the second half was also a nightmare for Romania. And with this result I think my expectations for the Netherlands are quite high. So I also predict that the Netherlands will be able to advance further and beat Turkey in the quarter-finals and advance to the semi-finals.
The Netherlands managed to put out their best performance in this match, this is the real Netherlands, they played quite well organized in all areas but their weakness was that they couldn't be consistent, which has been the case all along.
Romania tried to do their best but they lost in terms of quality. I watched this match and saw how difficult it was for Romania to develop their performance, and that was because the Netherlands played quite well.
The Netherlands will face Turkey in the quarter-finals, if they manage to maintain their good performance, maybe they will be able to win later, but I don't think there is any need to have high expectations for the Netherlands, I don't think they can be consistent.
