Like I said, they don't have a midfield at all defensively it's insane. Ramsey should literally have a hattrick, he's missed two incredible sitters. 

 

If they had any kind of competent defensive midfielder it wouldn't happen. 

Same as with the Italy game 

Turkey literally having no effective midfield 

[trabuch]

Wales have gone from Ramsay's misses to Ramsay's Missus.

I fancied Turkey as the surprise of this tournament. I was right, but not the way I thought I'd be. They have been woeful over the first 135 mins of this tournament.

Great to see Bale's quality and Ramsey's runs are brilliant. It only brings the question why Bale hasn't played more than he has over the last couple of seasons. He's proven he's still got it.

[purpleronnie]

Wales looking very good, going forward especially.  They'll cause problems for most teams.  Turkey are wide open.

[RowlattsFox]

Turkey have been shite, both tonight and against Italy. Picked them as my dark horses but may have been swayed by Soyuncu. No interest in going with the midfield runner. 

 

Saying that though, Wales have been good. 

[Ric Flair]

Wales look pure sauce

Do they have any decent midfielders to choose from, though?

Turkey have been easily the worst team in this tournament so far. Lucky this is only 1-0. They're so easy to slice through.

Come on man, don't be like that. 

 

We've got to give Scotland recognition for SOMETHING.

Poland can give them a good run for their money. Croatia did naff all as well against us.

Nice goal Bale and Ramsay still have the quality and showed it there quite brilliantly.

I know keep up

Same here. Turkey were my surprise for the tournament. Thus far they’ve been shite

They breezed through their qualifying group didn’t they. Clearly don’t count for much I guess 

[StanSP]

Thought Under could have got much better contact on that.

[Dan LCFC]

They've now got even less of a midfield

Under is such a frustrating player. There’s little glimpses of real quality there, then he can look absolutely awful 

[StanSP]

Turkey's keeper such a liability. I think he was the one that kept kicking first-time against Italy and it was really annoying

Still under-done, then?

some folks think okay is good enough ...

 

[StanSP]

Proper shite from Yilmaz.

[David Hankey]

Does okay mean alright in Turkish?

He's ridiculously hyped up as well

Same meaning, apparently, (yes, I checked, because I'm a nerd  )

[Chester Dontlie]

Turkey could use one or two Altintops. When they lose the ball a complete chaos ensues... they remind me of Poland in that regard 

 

Poor from Yilmaz. Hakan Sukur would've buried that
