At times very emotional at times very artistic coach of Turkey, faced the Turkish media for a last time as a coach of Turkish National team..
As we all know ,He called it quits after Belgium disaster match, when Turkey lost to Belgium.
After that match, he told the media that Armenia match will be his last match as a coach of Turkish National team.
That match, was show off for him, before the match and during the match!...
Before the match, we had never seen Mr. Terim this relax and smiley face, before....
During the match , after each goal was scored the players were rushed to him and huged him!
Even the guy who had bad fall out with him Halil Altintop went to him after he scored the goal!
Where was this spirit until, Armania match.....
Didn't Fatih Terim promised Turkish Soccer fans to go to South Africa after winning the first four matches....
Is anyone forgetting ,what he said?...
Well, those are all in the past time....
His crucial behavior on the side line , getting kicked out of the match, and much more, made Fatih Terim very controversial coach, in Turkey.
These were his week links......
But, Today He talked about his presence in the Turkish Football(soccer), today ...
Wheather we like him or not he has done good things at Turkish National team nad Galatasaray.
His most accomplishment came in when he was coaching Galatasaray and lastly with Turkish National team in 2008 Euro Tournament....finishing third place...
I have known Fatih Terim ever since he started coaching Turkish National Team...
I followed him when he came to United States and Canada...
So, I know a lot about him....
We know, He learned a great deal from Piontek, when he was working under him....
Today during the press conference he talked about why the Turkish National Team did not go the World Cup Tournament in South Africa and mainly him self....
Here are some quotes from Fatih Terim....
“I made mistakes, as anyone willing to make a revolution would,” he said. “Trying to take Turkey, which did not even have a place in the football world 15 years ago, somewhere, anyone would make mistakes. The biggest one was to raise expectations.”
*********************************************
“There are talented Turkish players raised in families living in Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands, et cetera,” said Terim. “Foreigners can find talent in 5 million Turks in Europe, so we should find seven or eight times that if we are talking about a country with a 70 million population.”
************************************************
“I have my regrets and I have my ifs of course,” he said. “But I believe that the wrongs did not outnumber rights.”
Do you agree?...
Let me know and drop a line here , if you want.

TURKISH NATIONAL TEAM AND FATIH TERIM CHOKED IN BOSNIA,,,,
Bosnia-Herzegovina drew 1-1 with Turkey in a World Cup qualifier on Wednesday to keep second place in Group 5 and keep alive its hopes of qualifying for the finals in South Africa.
Emre Belozoglu scored the opener for the Turkish National team in the 5th minute, but Sejad Salihovic equalized for Bosnia in the 26th with a perfectly placed free kick into the upper left corner of the goal.
Turkey coach Fatih Terim was sent off by Portuguese referee Olegario Benquerenca after vehemently protesting the awarding of the free kick.
Bosnia goalkeeper Supic, who made several key saves early in the game, said he was satisfied with the draw.
"We played exactly as we wanted to," Supic said. "We wanted a draw or a win and a draw is not a bad result."
Bosnia are in second place in the group with 16 points, five behind Spain, which played Estonia later on Wednesday. Turkey are in third place with 12 points.

TO BE OR NOT TO BE MATCH FOR TURKEY AND FATIH TERIM...
LIVE STREAMING .....BOSNIA V TURKEY .....14:00 ET
This has to be the most important match for Fatih Terim and Turkish National team.
Just think, a loss of points in Bosnia will spell a lot of disapointements for Turkish National Team and for Fatih Terim.
A win there could move Turkish National team within one point to Bosnia ...
That will be a huge victory in Zenica...
Spain leads the Group 5 with 18 points....
Spain has a comfortable six-point lead over Bosnia-Herzegovina. The real race here is for second place, where Turkey and Belgium trail Bosnia.
This will be the last chance Fatih Terim and his boy will have if they want to get back to the race in this group...
FATIH TERIM IS NOT CONFIDENT.........
After the Estonia win Fatih Terim said , "If we can't beat Bosnia, then we must accept defeat in good faith."
A lot of injuries , in the team is making him worry ....
Fatih Terim said he is aware of Bosnia's strength on the pitch and he said his players will do their best to beat Bosnia on Wendsday.
“We perform well against tough opposition and we must do everything we can to win. We can still make the play-offs if we beat Bosnia. We have mighty hearts and can certainly win the match," Terim was quoted as saying at a press conference.
"However, anything is possible in football and we will bow out as gentlemen if the worst happens. If we can't beat Bosnia, then we must accept defeat in good faith."
Turkish National Team. will face Bosnia for on Wendsday at 14:00 PM,ET in Zenica, Bosnia.
The Turks around world and in Turkey will be focused on this match on Wendsday.
A win against Bosnia will give some hope and little more for Fatih Terim and all of the Turks living around the world.
Than , They have to win against Belgium and Armania and hope Spain will beat Bosnia!...
