Germanfag here: I have to say I was surprised by the Turks' aggressiveness and playing style. They manged to essentially take Ballack out of the game and by closing up the midfield, they effectively averted combinations by our team. In essence they played like the Croates played against us.
The fact that we won the game in the end was due to the individual class of some of our players who are dangerous when you let them slip just once and our spirit. The saying "You have only defeated them, when they sit in the bus." was originally about the German National Team.
Oh and it was really great how the Turks celebrated with us last night. I din't really believe it, when newspapers said that the Turks don't really care who wins and they would celebrate anyway. But at least here (Cologne) it was true.
So thanks for an enthralling match and for being good losers.
