Holy crap, what a 2nd half. Hats off to Turkey, what a f'n comeback.

Would have been even more colorful if Czechs could have re-tied it after Turkish keeper was sent off.....and then we had progressed through extra time to PKs....with a center/forward tending the net!

My bad. Shit, that would have been amazing to watch.

[McBa1n]

Czechs had 1 opportunity in extra time to get something going - sure would've been interesting to see some field player backstop the kicks.

Liverpool in Champions League Final,3-0 down at HT come back to win on penalties.
Man City 3-0 down at HT to Spurs came back to win 4-3 in normal time.

best comeback

The best soccer comeback I've seen recently was this year, when that underdog team went up 3-0 then the favored team got a red card against them so they were playing down a man, plus down 3 goals and came back and won the match 4-3.

I wish I could remember what team that was, but it was this year in European soccer.

The Liverpool comeback in the Champions League finals was ridiculous. That was the best I've ever seen - but we don't get a lot of games in the US.

I've seen a lot of comebacks from 0-3 at HT, sometimes even going to 5-3 or 6-3, but from 0-2 to 3-2 in the final 15 minutes, now that's quite rare.

Bochum - Bayern 5-6 (1976)
The craziest game the Bundesliga has ever seen. Bochum were 3-0 up by the half-time whistle and 4-0 in 53th minute. In the next 20 minutes, Karl-Heinz Rummenigge and Gerd Muller took Bayern to an unbelievable 5-4 lead.
Kaczor put Bochum level on 5-5 in the 80th minute and that seemed to be it, but with a minute to go Uli Höness scored his second and Bayern's sixth for their most amazing win ever.

Werder Bremen- Anderlecht 5-3 (1994)
Champions' League group stage. The comeback specialists (Werder) against the chronic loser (Anderlecht). The Belgians held on to 3-0 until the 66th minute and a win should have been a matter of routine, but the Germans for reasons unknown kept on coming forward. The Kiwi Rufer twice, Hobsch, Bratseth and Bode in the following 23 minutes explained the meaning of the phrase "German spirit". Werder also overturned Spartak Moscow's 1-4 with a 6-2 win in 1987, Dynamo Berlin's 0-3 with a 5-0 in 1988 and Lyon's 0-3 with a 4-0 in 1999. True "never-say-die" stuff.

Portugal vs. North Korea 5-3 (1966)
World Cup quarterfinals. The Koreans had kicked out the mighty Italy by a single goal and then built a 3-0 lead against the ambitious Portuguese. Dictator Kim Il Sung must have been delighted. But, Eusebio played superbly, scoring four times in 30 minutes to avoid another crazy upset. The Panther finished the tournament with 9 goals to his credit, winning the golden boot.

Not the best ever but still a hell of a 2nd half
