Vrba disappointed with display after Czechs crash out
A draw against Turkey would have been enough to keep Czech Republic in with a chance of progressing in Euro 2016, but they went crashing out with a loss
Pavel Vrba felt let down by his Czech Republic as they exited Euro 2016 following a 2-0 defeat to Turkey on Tuesday.
Vrba's men came into Tuesday's Group D meeting in Lens knowing a win would guarantee them a place in the second round, while a draw would keep them in contention for a spot.
But they went a goal behind after 10 minutes through Burak Yilmaz, and Ozan Tufan sealed a Turkey win in the second period, condemning Czech Republic to the bottom of the group while keeping their own hopes of progression alive.
