Having ploughed a furrow (probably quite literally given the state of the pitch in the torrential rain) up and down the left flank and receiving very little attention -apart from the BBC’s Mark Bright who was virtually screaming at the Turkey side to pass him the ball – Arda Turan eventually got his just desserts by bagging himself the winner against Switzerland. His Castrol Index heat map shows that he was heavily involved in everything in and around the left corner of the penalty area, and it was no surprise that this is where he scored his – albeit fortunately deflected – winner.

Turkey’s manager Fatih Terim might want to instil in his players the need to get the match won in normal time, with good reason. The Czechs (in their many guises, well, as Czechoslovakia) haven’t lost a penalty shoot out in the Euros in all three attempts. If tonight’s game finishes level, then penalties in the group stage are looming, and that prospect should fill the Turks with dread. See below for details.

Jack thinks the Czech Republic will complete a 2-0 demolition.

Tom reckons this one is destined for a shoot out, and going on past performance the Czech Republic will go through.
