This was very important match for Turkey and Fatih Terim at home .

A win, would it made a big difference in the standings!..

A lost of two points, at home against Belgium, will cost Fatih Terim and Turkish side along the long way in this group5.

As I am writing this article, Spain is ahead against Armenia 4-0 at home, if they win this match they will take the first place from Turkey with six points.

This draw was so bad , Turkey put Belgium and Bosnia in the race in this Group.

Today, Bosnia thrashed Estonia with the score 7-0. and got their first three points in the group.

And Turkey's next match is against Bosnia next month in Turkey.

That is why this match was so important!....

Belgium, Bosnia and Turkey now have to fight for the second spot in the group after Today.Thanks to Turkish National team and fatih Terim!...


Fatih Terim, again, did some heroic changes in the line-up and the play system!...

In the first half, at home he played with 4-5-1 formation....

That was no no in my book!...

Also, again, I could not understand his gestures from side line...

His mean, aggressive moves from side line was unnecessary ,in my opinion!..

Emre Belezooglu,saved the Turkish National team and Fatih Terim with a Penalty kick goal

A loss would it been much worse!....

Some people might say this is the only second match in the group, but, if you can't win your home games ,it will be hard to get a ticket to world Cup 2010 in this group.

Let's not forget the matches that Turkey will play away!..

DOES FATIH TERIM WANTS TO LEAVE THE NATIONAL TEAM?..

This is not the first time I ask this question!..

My regular readers will know, I have wrote about this before too!...

Does he really want to leave the National team or his Manager from England, Mr. Mel Goldberg is just talking with other side of his mouth!..


There is one thing we know, Terim is under contract with Turkish National team until 2010.

Than, how could Fatih Terim would be interesting a job in Newcastle team?...

Does Fatih Terim know what his agent in England saying?....

“Newcastle is a massive club with passionate fans and we hope they bring in the right man for the job.”

Turkish Football( soccer) fans deserve to learn the truth story from Mr.Terim!..

As I wrote it before, why would your agent shop for a team in Europe while you are the coach of Turkish National team?..
