Turkey reached the Euro 2008 semi-finals here on Friday after beating Croatia 3-1 on penalties after the match had finished 1-1 after extra-time.

Semih Senturk levelled for Turkey in the first minute of time added on after Ivan Klasnic had given the Croats the lead in the 119th minute for his second goal in successive matches.

Croatia then missed two penalties and one saved Turkish keeper Rustu Recber turning from villain to hero, after his error gifted the Croats their goal, saving from Mladen Petric to put the Turks through.

The Turks have made a speciality of being the comeback kings here having only led for two minutes of their four games which has seen them twice win matches in the last minute and then save themselves here right at the death.

Julian Nagelsmann did not entertain discussions with Real Madrid in 2018 as he said a move to the then European champions made no sense .

Madrid were rebuilding after winning a fourth Champions League title in five years, with coach Zinedine Zidane and talisman Cristiano Ronaldo both leaving, while final match-winner Gareth Bale also outlined a desire to depart.

The sudden moves thrust Los Blancos into the managerial market, with Nagelsmann impressing at Hoffenheim.

In a wide-ranging interview with Sport Bild on Wednesday, the 33-year-old revealed Madrid pursued a conversation but he rejected the approach.

Madrid turned instead to Julen Lopetegui for a short-lived stint, a move that massively hindered Spain s World Cup campaign, while Nagelsmann s Hoffenh…

On this day in 2012, Liverpool striker Luis Suarez apologised for not shaking Manchester United defender Patrice Evra’s hand before the match on the previous day at Old Trafford.

The Uruguayan was banned for eight matches after being found guilty of racially abusing Evra in October 2011 during a league game between the sides at Anfield in October.

Suarez had been expected to shake hands with the defender but failed to do so and prompted an angry reaction.

“I have spoken with the manager (Kenny Dalglish) since the game at Old Trafford and I realise I got things wrong,” Suarez said in a statement.

“I’ve not only let him down but also the club and what it stands for and I’m sorry. I made a mistake and I regret what happened.

“I should h…

If Week 9’s Monday Night Football matchup is going to live up to the rest of this wild and wacky week, then NFL bettors had better buckle in and have the Pepto/bourbon close at hand when the Chicago Bears visit the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Oddsmakers have Pittsburgh installed as a 7-point home favorite but as we’ve seen this past Sunday, point spreads haven’t mattered much in Week 9. If you’re backing on the side or the total, thankfully fun-loving bookies have a butt-ton of Monday Night Football prop bets to choose from. 

These are our favorite NFL prop betting picks for Bears at Steelers on November 8.

Week 2 of NFL betting gets off to a sexy start with an AFC West war on Thursday Night Football. The Los Angeles Chargers visit the Kansas City Chiefs in a divisional dance that could go a long way in deciding who comes out on top of this loaded group of contenders, and I’m here to run down the point spread, total, and give my best NFL betting picks and predictions. 

The Chiefs muzzled any doubters in Week 1, blasting the Arizona Cardinals for 44 points en route to an easy win and cover on the road.

Meanwhile, the Bolts looked like they were rolling to a one-sided win over the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 1 but blew a 17-3 halftime lead and narrowly squeaked out a 24-19 win as 3.5-point home favorites.

With the increased popularity of betting touchdown props, it’s a little harder these days for bettors to find value in the market. However, because of price discrepancies across books, having multiple outs is the best way to be profitable with NFL prop bets. 

As I work through the NFL odds I’ll find my three best touchdown props for the Sunday slate each week. They might not be high-win probable plays, but if they aren’t, they’ll certainly be +EV. 

This week, I’m backing a lesser-known mobile rookie quarterback, finding value in the Indy backfield, and taking a longshot with a familiar QB-TE duo thats in a new environment. 

Here are my free NFL picks and predictions for Week 1 touchdown props.

Coming off a 1-2 week, I’m still up over 16 units on the season betting on plane breakers. Week 11 of the NFL season is here, and is offering possibly some of the best value of the entire season.

For Week 11 NFL odds, I’m banking on a bounce back from Kyler Murray and his favorite target, betting on a TD scorer in the game with the week’s lowest total, and trying to hit a moonshot for +1,600 in Jacksonville in my latest free NFL picks.

I’m not here to peddle a light +250 same-game parlay for the big game and think there is some value on some of the bigger names to target for a Super Bowl parlay. I’m taking three players (four picks) and putting together a solid 10-to-1 ticket where all four of the plays project +EV with THE BLITZ and the Covers’ NFL player props projections. 

If you like George Kittle, Travis Kelce, and Deebo Samuel, this is the SGP you want in your account for Super Bowl LVIII.
