Turkey coach Fatih Terim has revealed he will probably step down after seeing his side lose to Germany in their Euro 2008 semi-final.

Philip Lahm's last-minute strike finally ended Turkey's dreams of going all way in Austria and Switzerland after thrilling semi-final clash in Basel.

Turkey could count themselves unfortunate to lose to Germany after dominating for most of the game only for Lahm to break their hearts.

Terim says he has decided to return to club management and that he will work outside Turkey.

"Most probably after speaking to the federation president and the players I will choose to say this is what I have done," said Terim.

"I had declared earlier I would not be working in Turkey. I am a man who keeps my promises. So I will most probably go back to a European country."

Proud

Terim was proud of his players after going so close to reaching the final.

"I congratulate Germany for their win and wish them success for final but I am proud of my players and think their will to play well, and the technical support, all came together and they were able to show the world what a good team they were," added Terim.

"I think we are leaving as the most colourful team of the tournament. We can say we were almost there, but that is part of football as well."

I'm impressed. Turkey didn't deserved to lose as they played with a lot of heart. Ah well, this is football so expect the unexpected. Tomorrow's match will be a cracker, and I'm rooting for Russia!

Scirwode

Well they were unlucky to go out, they played much better than most of us probably expected, but thats the way it goes in football, the luck has to run out eventually.

I'm hoping Spain can get past Russia tonight, and then go on to defeat the Germans in the final.

True football has just been eliminated from Euro 2008!

Thank you Turkey for adding life to a dull tournament.

You must be mad. While I will gladly agree that Turkey played some entertaining games, you can't really call their style true football. They are passionate, and energetic, but much of what won them games was just good fortune. They are far from a technical or skillful side.

Marcello Lippi is back in charge of Italy after replacing his successor Roberto Donadoni on Thursday.

Donadoni was sacked on Thursday after the Azzurri only reached the quarter-finals of Euro 2008 following a penalty shoot-out loss to Spain.

Lippi, who has been out of work since guiding Italy to World Cup glory in Germany two years ago, will be unveiled at a press conference in Rome on July 1st.

The 60-year-old possesses one of the most impressive CV's in the business having managed Serie A giants Juventus twice along with spells at the likes of Napoli and Internazionale.

"Marcello Lippi will return as coach of Italy," read a statement by Italian Football Federation (FIGC) president Giancarlo Abete on their website.

"He will replace Roberto Donadoni."

    • Alien Isolation 2 will bring a new protagonist and setting, watch the reveal trailer here by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Only a few weeks ago, Sega and Creative Assembly dropped a teaser for a new Alien Isolation. Today at Summer Game Fest, Alien: Isolation 2 was officially announced with a new trailer while also confirming a whole lot of information about the setting of this survival horror project. Check out the reveal trailer above. Leaving behind the Sevastopol space station, the sequel will take players to a remote colony world. With a Xenomorph (or more) on the loose, players will be navigating both the surface of the weather-ravaged planet as well as "the claustrophobic confines of the Weyland-Yutani outpost of Kurosaki Station." Interestingly, Creative Assembly is leaving behind Amanda Ripley, the daughter of Alien's Ellen Ripley, as the protagonist too. While it hasn't confirmed a name yet, players will be taking the role of a new character for this new adventure. The setting is also being described as a new hunting ground for the Alien. This will have players improvising and developing new tools to aid in their survival and escape, all to avoid "cinema’s deadliest killer." "It has been over a decade since we created the original Alien: Isolation and I am so excited to show everyone the first glimpse of the sequel," says Al Hope, Creative Director at Creative Assembly. "Our dedicated Survival team at Creative Assembly has been working hard to create a new, evolved Isolation experience continuing the legacy of the Alien franchise, making the eponymous killer smarter, the environment harsher and the chance of survival slimmer." Promising the same deadly tension from the original from over a decade ago, Alien: Isolation 2 is in development for PC, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PlayStation 5. A release date has not been announced yet.

    • Final Fantasy VII Remake Part 3 is getting a simultaneous release across PC and all consoles by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Square Enix showed up to the Summer Game Fest presentation today with multiple trailers showing off its next chapter in the Final Fantasy VII Remake saga. The final chapter of this trilogy now has an official name too, with it being dubbed Final Fantasy VII Revelation, following up Final Fantasy VII Remake and Final Fantasy VII Rebirth from recent years. Vincent Valentine, Cid, Cloud, Barret, Tifa, and more showed up in the trailers as they battle against enemies, or 'Weapons,' from the final chapter. "As the world teeters on the brink of annihilation, the final battle against Sephiroth begins," says the trailer description. "A meteor mars the sky, monstrous planetary guardians wreak havoc across the globe, and the fires of war rage. Now, Cloud and his companions must stand against this chaos to not only decide the planet's fate, but bring a legendary conflict to its conclusion." Following the reveal trailer, the show also dropped some gameplay footage that shows off a new way to travel across the open world using the Highwind airship. Players will be able to swap characters on during battles, use tactical mode to synchronize with allies, and summon their entities. Cid Highwind and Vincent Valentine are joining the party this time too. “FINAL FANTASY VII, first released in 1997, has been beloved by fans for many years and has since become a “legend” in its own right," added producer Yoshinori Kitase. "The FINAL FANTASY VII Remake Series that began in 2020 with everyone’s passionate support is finally reaching its climactic finale with FINAL FANTASY VII REVELATION. The story’s final destination represents my emotions spanning thirty years working on this title" One of the biggest revelations of this announcement, however, was the multiplatform release confirmation from the get-go. Square Enix will be releasing Final Fantasy VII Revelation across PC, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PlayStation 5 in Spring 2027 without any timed exclusivity programs.
