A MUST-WIN FOR FATIH TERIM


Three years after ugly brawl,Fatih Terim's Turkey National Team will face Switzerland again.
This time in the UEFA's Euro 2008 tournament and their home turf.
And in a must-win match,again!......

In an interview with The Associated Press, Turkey coach Fatih Terim said last month that he was sorry about what happened. He added that the episode was now history and should not affect how Turkey is treated in Basel.

"What happens in football, stays in football," Terim said.


The pressure will be on both Switzerland and Turkey when they meet Wednesday in the European Championship.

A loss against Switzerland could be the end of Terim Era! ......

The earlier match on Wednesday between Portugal and Check Republic, if ends in draw , it will make very difficult for Terim's Turkey to go on to next round...

Portugal and Check Republic will have four points. That's why Portugal has to beat Check Republic to make a way for Turkey or Switzerland.

Terim's heart and soul, will be at this match, before the Switzerland clash!...

Terim's Turkey, definitely needs help from Portugal, this time!.....

Switzerland will be without the 28-year-old Frei, but striker Marco Streller is expected to play despite re-aggravating a groin injury in the 1-0 loss to the Czech Republic. Should Streller fail to recover, Switzerland would be left with two Turkish decent 19-year-old Eren Derdiyok and creative forward Hakan Yakin as the only attacking options.

For Terim's Turkey, Central defenders Gokhan Zan and Servet Cetin were injured for the team's 2-0 loss to Portugal, and both are doubts for Wednesday. Midfielder Hamit Altintop is also below full fitness, and it's unclear if he can last the full 90 minutes.

Terim will have to find a formula for success.

"Our second game will be almost a final," Terim said.
