TURKEY LOST IMPORTANT POINTS!....

Turkey moved in to second place in World Cup Qualifying Group Five despite failing to find a way past Estonia on Wednesday.

The Turkish National Team had to settle for a one rather than three-point lead over third-placed Belgium after the hosts picked up their first point of the campaign.

And with two games with Euro 2008 winners Spain still to come, the Turks could live to rue their failure to pick up maximum points against one of the weakest teams in the group.

Turkey have stuttered since their surprise run to the European Championship semi-finals, needing to come from behind to beat Bosnia-Herzegovina and draw with Belgium in their last two qualifiers.

And they again failed to hit top form in Tallinn as they failed to break down a defence which had conceded 13 goals in their opening three group games.

Substitute Yusuf Simsek, who was introduced just after the hour mark, wasted Fatih Terim's side's best chance when he fired over when unmarked inside the area.

Dmitri Kruglov came closest for Estonia with an angled shot from the edge of the area which flew just wide of the post, but neither side could make the breakthrough.

Teams

Estonia: Londak, Kruglov, Piiroja, Barengrub, Sisov, Klavan,Vassiljev, Vunk (Puri 80), Dmitrijev,Voskoboinikov (Zeniov 63), Oper.

Estonia to host Turkey!...

Turkish National soccer Team will take on Estonia in an away World Cup qualifier in Tallinn on Wednesday.

While, Group 5, leader Spain and will be against Belgium.

Turkey will take on Estonia in an away World Cup qualifier in Tallinn on Wednesday.

The game will kick off at 21:30 (Turkish local time)(14:30 ET) and will take place at Tallinn's A. Le Cop Stadium.

Poland's Robert Malek will be the referee of the game.

Turkey's TRT-1 would broadcast the game live.

THE BIG GAME
Belgium-Spain

Rene Vandereycken's charges have enjoyed an excellent start to their campaign, collecting seven points from three outings, including a potentially priceless 1-1 draw in Turkey. Now 30 years of age, Wesley Sonck looks to be enjoying something of a second youth, and fired his 22nd goal in 45 appearances against Armenia at the weekend.
That said, Belgium are above all a solid unit composed of tireless workers, such as Ajax's defensive midfielder Jan Vertonghen.

Their next test could hardly be stiffer, though, as it brings them up against a team still riding the wave of euphoria inspired by their European title this summer.

Spain have won all three of their qualifiers, scoring eight times without conceding, making them formidable opponents for anyone.


Turkey will be away against bottom-placed Estonia hopeful of making up the two points they lost at home against Belgium, with the two group leaders coming face to face in Brussels.

Group 5, Leader Spain has 9 points while Belgium and Turkey has 7 points , Bosnia who has three points will be home against pointless Armania.

The battle for second place in this group still of for grabs between Belgium ,Turkey and Bosnia.

FATIH TERIM AFTER MESUT OZIL!.....

According to Sky news from England, Fatih Terim wants Germany U21 star Mesut Ozil to change his international allegiance.

Mesut has until his 21st birthday in October to decide whether he wants to commit his international future to his grandparents' country.

"Mesut has asked us for some time to think," Terim told Bild.

"We are hoping to get his decision soon."

Mesut Ozil does not want to comment on the situation, but his agent Reza Fazeli confirmed that an approach had been made.

"Fatih Terim asked me about him, but Mesut has to concentrate on other important games for the time being," he said.

EUROPE'S "COMEBACK KINGS" DOES IT AGAIN!..

Turkish National Team recovered from a goal down to beat Bosnia 2-1 with two second half headers in their World Cup Group Five qualifying game on Saturday.

New kid on the block,Mevlut Erdinc grabbed the winner in the 66th minute helped by some shoddy defending after Sabri Sarioglu equalised in the 51st following a scramble in front of goal after a free kick.

Bosnia's Edin Dzeko had opened the scoring with a header in the 27th as the Balkan team suddenly got into their stride, although a frustrated Turkey had more first-half chances.

"It was unpleasant to concede a goal but we didn't give up and after it we fought like lions," said Turkey coach Fatih Terim whose team stepped up the pace in the second half.

Turkey, semi-finalists at Euro 2008 and the 2002 World Cup, now have seven points from three matches before visiting Estonia in their next qualifier on Wednesday.
