Portugal v Turkey Live Gamecast...14:45 ET
LET'S GO TURKIYE!......
I expected much more from Tuncay. He gave the ball away far too many times. Fatih Terim should have taken Tuncay out and put Arda in. Kazim played very well and Emre (despite having not played too much this season) seemed very influential in Turkey's play. Other than that, Turkey seemed like a pick up team. Not many consecutive passes were strung. Portugal ran circles around them most of the game. Turkey did, however, keep hold of Ronaldo most of the game. It is quite clear that our team has not had enough time playing together. We need to gel before we can even think about getting out of our group.
ReplyDeletepick up team indeed. Like tuncay and nihat tripping over each other, we played like a bunch of amatuers. We were outplayed, outclassed, outsmarted by Portugal. It was embarrassing. No subs wouldve made a difference. The whole team looked scared and intimidated.
ReplyDeleteMy only hope is that this was just the usual case of us losing the first match in major tournaments. What scares me is that there was no cohesion in the team. I think its because Terim tinkered with different players too much.
If our players don't show their usual creative, attacking style of team play against the Swiss, its over!
