Governor Muammer Guler said Saturday that 11 people were accidentally shot in Istanbul, the country's largest city, where night festivities were the wildest. Twelve other people, including a 10-year-old girl and an elderly woman, were wounded by ricocheting bullets in seven other cities, police said. http://www.iht.com/articles/ap/2008/06/21/sports/SOC-Euro-2008-Notebook.php Link to comment

I don't think Turkey stand a chance, especially with Nihat injured. Russia have a slight chance.. They beat England and with Pavyluchenko and Arshavin up front they can't be ruled out. Their marking however is suspect so that could be their downfall. Spain have been impressive in recent games but when faced upon Italy were not able to break through. Germany have shown form at the right time and if they carry it on they will most likely go on to win. Link to comment

They have a useful knack of winning games, they were nailed onto lose. I'd expect Germany to beat them, but if they aren't more than a goal ahead with 10 mins to go, my moneys on Turkey. Still convinced Russia will do over Spain, that lad Arshavin is the best player in the tournament. Link to comment
