Congratulations on this perfect loss . And I gotta agree, it is well deserved. Haven't watched the game, but the last comment about it on the Sport1-live ticker says everything:
'All Swiss players went right into the cabin, with the Turkish players following closely. No shakehands, just people beating on each other.'
Wouldn't surprise me if later in the night or early tomorrow we might see some video-footage that looks like it's from Paris, but is actually taken in Istanbul .
One swiss player apparently was hit in the stomach and needs medical treatment .... not sure if it was a turkish player or their trainer, a real jerk.

Very great sportsmanship again. The Turkish coach has been quoted as saying that 'the game wasn't decided on the field, but thanks to da weak referee'. Well, appearantly going by that comment the referee wasn't even on field either . If hear about that, I can only say thank God that Turkey did not qualify.
The Turkish press is stating that Turkey didn't qualify because of "very provoking and ugly Swiss players" who have initiated all the violance.
Appart from that, one of the Swiss coaches was even punched in his face by a Turkish member of security staff, and some players were injured as well.
In my oppinion, this has really nothing to do with the idea of fair play and shouldn't be a predominant feature of sports. I do hope that severe sanctions will be imposed over the Turkish soccer association.
Anyway, I'm happy Switzerland did it, we really deserved it!!
Well if Turkey did all as said above, then I would suggest that FIFA take a look and take corrective action by banning them from the World Cup for good. Or atleast 20 years.
That's what Lufthansa makes you want to believe .
But anyway, one would hope this has some consequences, but we all know that whether it's the UEFA or the FIFA, they are slow a$$es and 'conveniently forget' incidents. E.g. several weeks ago during Bayern-Juve, Nedved kicked Sagnol right in head, not by incident, but on purpose. Nothing has happened to Nedved. Then again, neither of the Turkish players has the status that Nedved has.
