Day 9 - Comebacks
Picture day!
Comeback 1: Switzerland restored their dignity by defeating a mostly disinterested Portugal 2 - 0 in Basel. The Plus Signs still finished last in the group, but they won’t be last in the tournament.
Comeback 2: Türkiye stormed back against the Czech Republic with three goals in 15 minutes. The Czech Republic played well for 70 minutes and then fold like a cheap lawn chair. First the left side of the Czech defense failed (like in 1938!) and then Petr Cech gave up a rebound because his half-time superstition is to eat vepřo-knedlo-zelo with his gloves on! But that wasn’t the end of goalkeeper tomfoolery. Turkey’s goalie, Volkan Demirel, lost his mind in the 90th minute and started cow tipping in the box.
Comeback 3: Tiger Woods. Dude sinks a birdie putt on 18 to force today’s playoff round with Rocco Mediate. How a boxer from the 1930s managed to be in the lead at the U.S. Open is beyond me.
Comeback 4: The Minneapolis L.A. Lakers held strong in LA forcing game 6. If the series is tied at the end of regulation in the seventh game, Magic Johnson and Larry Bird will leg wrestle for the championship.
Best Game
Turkey – Czech Republic. The thrill of victory . . . and the agony of defeat
Best Face Paint
European teams need to get some new colors. It doesn’t have to be red and white! Think outside the box, like the Netherlands! I’m looking at you, (deep breadth) Switzerland, Austria, Poland, Russia, Turkey, and Croatia.
