University challenge
Turkey need a win against the Czechs – over 90 minutes or on penalties in the event of a draw – to reach the quarter-finals but Servet, Uğur and Semih will have other matters on their minds on the morning of Sunday's match. The trio will be up early to take the ÖSS university examination at nine o'clock as they look to complete their education with a sporting academy degree. With invigilators flown in from Turkey in attendance, the players will pick up pen and paper at the La Reserve hotel in Geneva, with a joint statement saying: "We want to have success in the morning and in the evening."
