Germany vs Turkey at Euro 2008 semifinal
Germany reached the finals of Euro 2008 by a convincing 3-2 victory against Turkey .Germany barely deserved the victory, but once again they have reached a major final despite being unconvincing, where they will face either Russia or Spain in Vienna on Sunday.
Ravaged by injuries and suspension, Turkey looked to have taken the game into extra time, which was the very least they deserved, but their campaign ended in heartbreak in the closing moments.
Germany celebrated the victory, but so much credit must go to Turkey for a magnificent effort that deserved so much more.
