Gary Lineker with coverage of the Group A encounter in Basel between Switzerland and Turkey. Having played what many observers consider to be stronger opponents in their opening matches, this game is likely to be pivotal to Switzerland and Turkey's chances of qualifying for the quarter-finals. Tensions between the sides are bound to be high anyway following their last meeting, a play-off clash in Istanbul for the 2006 World Cup which was marred by a mass brawl at the final whistle. Switzerland won that tie on the away goals rule and Turkey's hopes of avenging defeat today rest on Middlesbrough forward Tuncay Sanli and in-form strike partner Nihat Kahveci There are also highlights of the earlier game in this group between the Czech Republic and Portugal.
