After Turkish national team beat Greece in Greece ,
Turkish National team took a nose dive for the worst!...
At the time Fatih Terim was talk of the town in every paper
and TV in Turkey....
We were leading the pack in the Group C.....
The Imparator!....said, we should not have any problem finishing
the group in first place....that was his own words....not mine or yours!....
Ladies and Gents, look where we are now!.... Third place in the Group C and almost lost to Malta... a little island Country with a population of four hundred thousand.
Disappointment with Fatih Terim started first against Norway (2-2) and than against Bosnia (3-2) now Malta train crash!....(2-2)
Before the match, Fatih Terim said, he and his team was confident to prevail in Malta...he said this to even Malta media!....http://www.timesofmalta.com/core/article.php?id=273802
And he went on to say that he does not underestimate the Malta team before the match...So, did he really study this Malta team or Not!....
Obviously not!..... Here is, our, team stats, for this match....
Turkey took 10 corner kicks while Malta had only three....
While Malta keeper had three saves, We had none!,,,,
and shot on goal we had only three and Malta had six!...
HOME WORK DONE BY DUSEN FITZEL NOT FATIH TERIM!.....
Lets listen the Malta coach !...what he said after the match....
"After watching Turkey in recent outings, I noticed there was something wrong in their defence. That's why I planned to focus on counter-attacks."
"I had told the players that if we were to score first, we would not lose. In such games, our opponents always panic,"
Dusan Fitzel definitely did his "homework" well before the game,in my opinion!....
As far as our Terim, I think, He flunked, the class, one more time!...
His, hey days in Galatasaray and before in the Turkish National team
no where to be found now!....
He, him self, like the players, not hungry any more!.....
They better be hungry this Wednesday against Hungary in Istanbul...Because this will be one way street for Fatih Terim and his players!...
Instead of thinking records and favoring old timers , we need players who run and play with their harts....we saw in Malta match who played with their harts!,,,
It was not Turkiye nor Fatih Terim....it was Malta.....

Good, I hope it gets worse, I hope we loose on wednesday, we don't deserve to be there, were not elite, and you know what...giving the fact that we didnt play any european teams in 2002, WC was nothing but a cinderalla story. Turkish National team stinks bottom line...........
ReplyDeleteIDIOTS! THE TURKISH TEAM ARE A BUNCH OF LOSER IDIOTS. AND THE BIGGEST IDIOT IS THE ONE WHO'S IN CHARGE OF THEM ALL: TERIM. he's an old man, stuck in the past. if the fact that he's still playing Sukur is not a giant warning sign, i dont know what is!!! fire Terim. ban Sukur for life. we need a good foreign coach; someone who can really dicipline and shape the team. it's time for the turkish federation to wake up and smell the coffee. we suck! we need a big change now!
ReplyDeleteTerim's appointment as coach was a mistake, Sukur should have retired a few years ago. Politics and religion are dominating sport, wake up Turkey. In saying that we will defeat hungary (hopefully Hakan does not score and gets injured during training).
ReplyDeleteWe play well when we are desperate.
i'm really starting to believe that WC02 was a fluke. what's happened since? we get kicked out of euro04 by LATVIA!!! we get kicked out of WC06 by Switzerland, a b-list european team at best. now, these Bosnian and Maltese fiascos. why should i believe in this team anymore? all they do is disappoint...
ReplyDeleteWe need to follow examples set by France, Brazil, Italy -and yes- Greece (in 2004)= A winning team starts with a rock solid defense. Our defending is pathetic. Whats the point in having good attack when the back door is wide open? Fatih Terim obviously does not get it. So, TFF, get someone who does. Now! Or face further humiliation.
ReplyDeleteEverybody CALM the hell DOWN!
ReplyDeleteWe have some real TALENT on our team and we had a bad game! It happens but we are still in the thick of things. Yes I agree HAkan should give way to younger players as he did nothing in the game. Gokdeniz on teh other hand was truely awesome. Fatih Terim needs to field a better side. Where is Tumer, Nihat, Fatih, HAsan and yildiray?
Lets win on Wednesday and take it from there. If we don't make it out of this group it will be a big SHAME!!
anybody know of a good, reliable site to watch turkish national matches online for FREE ?
