Genclerbirligi beat Eskishirspor at home 3-1.

In the last match of the week, which was broadcast live on LIGTV, Trabzonspor and Besiktas played for boring 0-0 tie match ninety minutes.

As I was saying on my Saturday report, things did not change very much!...

We know One thing, Last seasons, surprise team Sivasspor after beating Bursaspor at home captured the top spot with seven points, in the Turkish Super League again!,,,,

Wait though!,,,,,there are three more teams that share the same points!...
BESIKTAS.....GAZIANTEPSPOR AND TRABZONSPOR.....

At the end of the third round, Galatasaray is in fifth ,Kayserispor is in sixth and Fenerbahce, is deep down in 12Th place, as I wrote it, on my Saturday report.

So, at the end of the week three, we see different kind of League standing, that Turkish soccer fans are not use to see!....

With the European competitions to start this coming week, Fenerbahce, Galatasaray, Besiktas and Kayseripsor has to concentrate in the both leagues!...

TSL (TURKCELL SUPER LEAGUE) ,SATURDAY WRAP!...

Another shocking news for Fenerbahce!....

FENERBAHCE GOES DOWN IN ANKARA, AGAINST HACETTEPE....

After the National team matches and chaos, Turkey finally trying to focus on the Turkcell Super League.

The third round started, with a bang again this Saturday!....

In the opening match, Fenerbahce, traveled to Capitol city of Turkey, Ankara.

New Name Hacettepe!....former Genclerbirligi Oftas team beat Fenerbahce with the 2-1 score.

Fenerbahce was hurting, with a lot of injuries and with other problems!....

That cost the match for Fenerbahce!...

Until very and of the first half, Fenerbahce was ahead 1-0 with Alex's goal.
But, things changed in the last minute.Hacettepe tied the match with Ibrahim Sahin's goal in the 45Th minute.Just before the first half whistle.

In the second half, young defender who has not started in a long time Can Arat, scored his own goal for Hacettepe.

Later in the match Keeper Volkan Demirel was red carded and another young defender Yasin Cakmak took the gloves from Volkan.

In the remain minutes of the match Fenerbahce was not successful to score goals!..

After this win, Hacettepe moved on top of the Fenerbahce ,while Fenerbahce droped down to eight place , they could well down further after Sunday's matches...
We could see Fenerbahce finishing 12 or 13th place at the end of the third week in the Turkcell Super League....

That could be in really big problem for Fenerbahce and Aragones in the long run!,,,,

They left three import points in Ankara before the CL matches in the Europe competition...Fenerbahce has only three points after three rounds!....

Elsewhere, on Saturday, Konyaspor tied at home with Denizlispor, 1-1

In Kayseri, Kayserispor beat leaeges new comer team Kocaelispor with only one goal.

As I was writing this article, Galatasaray was playing against Antalysspor at home and after Gala scoring the first goal , later Anlatalyaspor tied the match.

As of now that match is at the half time...

GALATASARAY DROPS TWO BIG POINTS AT HOME!..

After Fenerbahce , Galatasaray droped points at thier Turkcell Super League match against Antalyaspor at home in front of their own fan.

AS I told you before the score at the half time did not change in the second half of the match and the match enden with 1-1 score!...

Galatasary scored first, but Nonda in the 11th minute of the match and Anlatyspor answered with Joseph Ngwenya goal in the 32th minute of the match.

With this loss Galatasaray like Fenerbahce lost points....
Afre the third week, Galatasaray won only one march and draw two!...

That is really bad start for Galatasaray too..

After elimination fron Champions League now....bad result in the league is not making Gala fans really happy!...

Look for some changes in the coming days in the Galatasaray team!.....

SUNDAY PREVIEW!....

It will be Super Sunday in The Turkcell Super League....

Four perfect teams with six points will have to put a tough fight........

Out of these four , two of them....Besiktas and Trabzonspor will clash in the city of Trabzon.

The others, Gaziantepspor will be at home against Ankaragucu and Bursaspor will be away against though team Sivasspor!...

So, I know one thing, It will be really hard for these teams to stay perfect!..

One or two of them will try to stay perfect or will try to maket three for three at the end of this weekend!...

Million dollar question is?.....Who will succeed...that will be tough to guess!...

So, sit tight and enjoy Super Sunday in TSL(TURCELL SUPER LEAGUE)!....

TURKEY AND FATIH TERIM LOST VERY IMPORTANT POINTS !...

Fourth official Philippe Kalt (R) gestures to Turkey's head coach Fatih Terim (L) during a discussion between Terim and Belgium's head coach Rene Vandereycken (rear) during their World Cup 2010 qualifying soccer match at Sukru Saracoglu Stadium in Istanbul, September 10, 2008.

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!..
