IT IS A JUNGLE OUT THERE...
Things at Turkish Turkcell Super League are getting hotter as we get close to the end of the rope.
It is like jungle ...
Crocodiles of Bursa , canneries of Fenerbahce , lions of Galatasaray and eagles of Besiktas are fighting, in this jungle to be the number in Turkey.
As we enter the last five weeks in the Turkish Super League, Bursaspor is not showing us that they are the clutch team in the last two matches even though they are sitting on top of the Turkish Super league going into the this weekend(30th week).
Next three weeks are very crucial for Bursaspor, starting on this Friday,
This Friday night, they will open the 30th week against Gaziantepspor in Bursa.
A bad result from this match, will shatter Bursaspor's dream, in my opinion..
Because ,they still have to face Galatasaray , Kayserispor and Besiktas, yet....
Bursaspor has to show their fans they are the clutch team in the league....
If they want to stay on top of the league they have to win this match on Friday...
A loss of points will not be good for Bursa...
BIG DERBY MATCH IN ISTANBUL.....
This is the most important match of the weekend in my opinion....
Fenerbace against Besiktas in Kadikoy on Sunday!
It is to be or not to be match for Besiktas .....
Besiktas has to win this match if they want to stay in the race....
But, playing in Kadikoy will be very difficult.
What Bursaspor will do on Friday Night will affect and put more pressure on each team on Sunday.
The leader Bursaspor have 62 points and Fenerbahce at 61 and Besiktas and Galatasaray are at dead lock 57 points.
In the derby match it is very hard to guess who will win, but, like I said it is do or die match for Besiktas if they want to stay in the Turkish Super League Jungle, Black and white eagles and coach Mustafa Denizli has to win this match.
There is no ifs or butts about it...
On the other hand Galatasaray will travel to Manisa to play Manisspor...
For Rijkaard and lyons of Glatasaray ...there is one thing left...
Win their all five remaining matches and hope the others make mistake....
One good thing, They will host Bursaspor in their home turf....
That is why it will be very difficult for Bursasspor , the team who has not have any experience being the champion to finish first at the end of the season...
I wish ,they could do it.................
RELAGATION ZONE........
WE know Ankaraspor has relagated and Denizlispor has one foot in the basement too..
I think,The third team will be Diyarbakirspor...
The team who has not paid their players and coaches...
Although there is a lot of teams like Diyarbakirspor, who can not pay their coaches and players.
Sivasspor and Manisaspor are feeling the heat at the bottom of the Turkish Super League...
If they don't win games they could well be the third team to drop out of the league too.
So, welcome to the jungle, in the Turkish Super League, in the last five weeks..
Who will rule this jungle?
will it be the crocodile of Bursa... canaries of Fenerbahce... lions of Galatasaray or eagles of Besiktas?
We just don't know yet............

Turkey to face Germany in Euro 2012 qualifiers
Turkey, the losing semifinalist at the Euro 2008, was drawn in Group A against Germany, Austria, Belgium, Kazakhstan and Azerbaijan after the draw for the 2012 European Soccer Championship in Poland and Ukraine was held in the Polish capital, Warsaw, on Sunday. The Turks eliminated Austria on the way to reaching the Euro 2008 semis, before losing to 3-2 to Germany, the runner-up to Spain, in the dramatic semifinal.
Turkey has a large number of fans among its expatriate workers in Germany and so the Turkish national team will draw great crowds at home and on the road when it plays the Germans.
“I am neither shocked nor pleased. Logistically, it’s not going to be simple,” Germany coach Joachim Löw said of the long trips to Kazakhstan and Azerbaijan. “It’s a German-speaking group with many German coaches.” Azerbaijan is coached by former Germany boss Berti Vogts, while Kazakhstan’s coach is also a German, Bernd Storck.
Defending champion Spain will have the Czech Republic and Scotland among its rivals in the qualifying round. Lithuania and Liechtenstein completed Group I in Sunday’s draw, meaning Spain, the top-ranked team in the world, will not have to face any team that qualified for this year’s World Cup in South Africa.
Reigning World Cup champion Italy will play two teams that have qualified for this year’s tournament in South Africa -- Serbia and Slovenia. Italy, which won the European title in 1968, also faces Northern Ireland, Estonia and the Faeroe Islands in Group C. As co-hosts, Poland and Ukraine qualify for the tournament automatically.
Draw.................
Group A: Germany, Turkey, Austria, Belgium, Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan
Group B: Russia, Slovakia, Ireland, Macedonia, Armenia, Andorra
Group C: Italy, Serbia, Northern Ireland, Slovenia, Estonia, Faeroe Islands
Group D: France, Romania, Bosnia, Belarus, Albania, Luxembourg
Group E: Netherlands, Sweden, Finland, Hungary, Moldova, San Marino
Group F: Croatia, Greece, Israel, Latvia, Georgia, Malta
Group G: England, Switzerland, Bulgaria, Wales, Montenegro
Group H: Portugal, Denmark, Norway, Greek Cyprus, Iceland
Group I: Spain, Czech Republic, Scotland, Lithuania, Liechtenstein
