Turkey(Turkiye )1-0 Bosnia-Herzegovina Higlights

TURKEY(TURKIYE) IS IN EURO 2008!

Turkey's head coach Fatih Terim celebrates his team's win over Bosnia in their Euro 2008 Group C qualifying soccer match
Turkish national soccer team defeated Bosnia-Herzegovina 1-0 in the Group C of Euro 2008 qualifying round in Istanbul on Wednesday, securing a spot in the finals in next year's European Championship.


Nihat Kahveci score the only goal of the match in the 43rd minute when Hamit Altintop found him with a cross and the Villarreal striker fired beyond Bosnia keeper Adnan Guso into the corner of the net.

After creating a string of chances in the first half, the Turkish National Team, protected their lead against a Bosnian side who rarely looked likely to score.

Turkish National Team finished second in Group C, behind Greece who had already secured their place before Wednesday's final qualifying matches. Norway, who lost to Turkey 2-1 on Saturday, missed out by finishing third one point behind the Turkish National Team.
Fatih Terim and his boy's did it hard way, but ,They did it at the end...
Kudos to Fatih Terim and his crew!...It's well deserved day after crucial times!

A HUGE WIN!...

NOW WE HAVE THE ADVANTAGE...NOW DESTINY IN OUR HANDS!..

We have the advantage now, to join Greece at the Euro 2008 finals after coming from behind to defeat Norway 2-1 in Group C in Oslo and leave the Scandinavian side facing qualifying heartache.

that is the good part,,,,we must not forget we have one more game against Bosnia.

We must beat Bosnia in Istanbul too to do this...



I am very glad to see Turkish National team won....I am still cautious optimist about this team , looking at the future. I am also not happy with Fatih Terim the way he takes a shot at people after the matches.

He has a problem!.....that problem is not going to go way....He forgets this is the Turkish National Team , it is not just his team, it's the whole Turkiye's and all Turkish Soccer fans team!...

Let me be the first to give him the credit for last night's win, after he got us out of the mass,that he put it..

Here is what Fatih Terim told Reuters after the match "I want to thank the people that have supported us during these days. To the people who haven't supported us, I have nothing to say."

Is this the thing to say after a huge win?,,,,,, You decide!....

The Match..........

In foggy conditions, Norway went ahead in the 12th minute with a stunning overhead kick from defender Erik Hagen, but Turkiye equalised through Emre on 31 minutes before sealing victory with Nihat Kahveci's strike 14 minutes into the second half.Norway have not qualified for a major tournament since Euro 2000 and, after missing out in the play-offs for Euro 2004 and last summer's World Cup, they kicked off knowing victory would break that run.



Norway took the lead with a goal of real quality. Steffen Iversen flicked on a free-kick and Hagen, with his back to goal, controlled the ball on his chest before rifling an overhead kick into the roof of the net.

John Carew had a header saved as Norway searched for a second goal, although Turkiye remained dangerous and got back into the game on 31 minutes.Emre beat his man on the edge of the box, made space and blasted a dipping drive beyond Norway goalkeeper Hakon Opdal. Fatih Terim's men were now in the ascendancy and Hamit Altintop came close again with a long-range attempt on 40 minutes before Morten Gamst Pedersen was thwarted by goal keeper Volkan Demirel at the other end.Villarreal forward Nihat scored what proved to be the winner in the 59th minute, receiving the ball from substitute Gokhan Gonul before shooting past Opdal.

Turkiye will qualify if they defeat Bosnia at home on Wednesday. They are second in the group, one point above Norway who visit Malta with their fate out of their hands.
