Friday’s final fixture takes in the Group D clash between Spain and a Turkey side looking for their first points of Euro 2016.

This is the first time the two sides have met in a major finals, while in their previous 10 encounters Spain have won nine. Turkey’s only victory came in a World Cup qualifier in 1954.

Although Vicente del Bosque’s Spain won their first game 1-0 over the Czech Republic, the former World Cup winners were far from convincing with 13 of their 18 goal attempts failing to hit the target.

Turkey will be hoping Spain can continue their profligate goal threat after conceding a worrying 15 shots in the box in their 1-0 defeat to Croatia. Indeed, over their 13 European Championship games Turkey have kept just two clean sheets.

    In the email we received about the updated ticker it says "This can be extended to show months ahead and allows for sorting by difficulty over the Gameweeks being displayed, plus the ability to assess rotation between teams."

    Is the rotation thing a specific feature I'm not seeing or did I misunderstand something?

      Select a team -> Sort by rotation

      You can move teams up and down to be next to others

      1. Piggs Boson
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 2 days ago

        Once you sort by rotation or difficulty, you can no longer move them 🙁

        You don't seem to be able to drag them any more? Clicking up and down arrows is a painful experience

          No dragging currently. On desktop, teams move quick for me.

    What would Czech Republic have to do to go through their group?

    1. TJ_777
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 2 days ago

      Beat Turkey and have a better goal difference than Croatia and Croatia have to lose to Spain. But that's just to get 2nd place. They can get third place with a draw against turkey

  8. RᴀᴄɪɴɢTᴏᴀᴅ

    • TJ_777
      • 11 Years

      Unable to watch the game. How has the game been for both sides?

      1. Epic Fail
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 2 days ago

        Good for Spain (winning)
        Bad for Turkey (losing)

      2. TorresMagic™
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 17 Years
        10 years, 2 days ago

        2-0 says it all

      3. Wilshere Knowledge
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 2 days ago

        Spain brilliant, Turkey doing nothing.

      4. TJ_777
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 2 days ago

        Haha let me rephrase. Do Turkey have any attacking qualities or any close chances

        1. TorresMagic™
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 17 Years
          10 years, 2 days ago

          All Spain

    • Je suis le chat
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 2 days ago

      Gerry Armstrong saying on TV 3 that those years ago, Fergie binned Pique and kept JEvans, yikes.

    • JK - Cønt ⭐
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      Turns out I could have could have picked either

      1. Ziro
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 2 days ago

        You're not playing I thought?

        1. Jafooli
          • 14 Years
          10 years, 2 days ago

    • RᴀᴄɪɴɢTᴏᴀᴅ
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 2 days ago

      Wish I captained him. 🙁

    • @ocprodigy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 2 days ago

      Who got the assist for Nolito?

      1. Wilshere Knowledge
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 2 days ago

        Fabregas played the ball, but it came last off the defender. Don't know if he'll get the assist.

      2. Jay_
          10 years, 2 days ago

          Nobody, Fab through ball misheaded by defender, straight to Nolito

          1. @ocprodigy
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 12 Years
            10 years, 2 days ago

            Ah thanks guys. Hoping Iniesta joins the party soon.

        10 years, 2 days ago

        Just when I thought my game week was coming off the rails.

        121 points as it stands. Maybe 119 with Siggy to come.

        1. Mo Mané Mo Problems
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 2 days ago

          Overall* (that was misleading)

      4. Grand Thibauto
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 2 days ago

        Fabregas Assist!!! YEEES

      5. Murph1
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 2 days ago

        Fabregas assist?

        1. Grand Thibauto
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 2 days ago

          Yes!

          1. RᴀᴄɪɴɢTᴏᴀᴅ
            • 10 Years
            10 years, 2 days ago

            No?

      6. TJ_777
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 2 days ago

        Captained Giacherini over Nolito. O well can't get them all right.

      7. Ludo
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 2 days ago

        Fabregas assist given! Didn't think he'd get it.

        1. Ludo
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 2 days ago

          Ah! 🙂

          In addition, an attempt which rebounds from the goal frame, the goalkeeper or a defender can be considered as an assist, if it leads directly to a goal.

          1. rivercityransom
            • 10 Years
            10 years, 2 days ago

            pretty sure that's supposed to be an attempt on goal.

        2. Ludo
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 2 days ago

          Aaaaaaand it's gone.

      8. Bøwstring The Carp
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 2 days ago

        Nolito a bad pick they aid 🙄

        Give me those 9 points...

        1. Bøwstring The Carp
          • 14 Years
          10 years, 2 days ago

          said* 😳

      9. justmatt
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 2 days ago

        Was so close to using my WC but decided to have faith and took a -4 instead, brought in Payet (C) - 16, Giaccherini - 6, and kept Rami - 9, Perisic - 7 and Nolito - 8. Lesson is be patient.

        1. Stats Don\'t Lie
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 2 days ago

          well done

        2. Ziro
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 2 days ago

          Taking a -4 and being patient? 😆

          1. justmatt
            • 10 Years
            10 years, 2 days ago

            2 changes rather than WC is pretty patient.
