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

Losing for your country should hurt more, shouldn’t it?
September 10, 2008
Kev Fylan blogged about England’s fear factor being the root cause of their continual failures but Jamie Carragher’s autobiography reveals another possible explanation when he admits that he just didn’t care enough about playing for the national team.
The Liverpool defender, who retired from international football principally because he got fed up with playing out of position, said:
“Representing your country is the ultimate honour, especially in the World Cup. Not to me. Whenever I returned home from disappointing England experiences one unshakeable, overriding thought pushed itself to the forefront of my mind, no matter how much the rest of the nation mourned: ‘At least it wasn’t Liverpool.’
“I confess: defeats wearing an England shirt never hurt me in the same way as losing with my club. I wasn’t uncaring or indifferent, I simply didn’t put England’s fortunes at the top of my priority list. Losing felt like a disappointment rather than a calamity.”
For most England fans such an outlook may be hard to understand but for backers of Croatia, who England face on Wednesday, it will be beyond comprehension.
As a young nation, Croatian fans and players are among the loudest and proudest in the game. They don’t need to kiss the badge to show what it means to them.
As with the All Blacks in rugby, merely wearing the shirt says it all.
There are many in the England set-up who hold the opposite view to Carragher — just look at David Beckham’s continued involvement.
But is it possible that there are other players out there among the pampered millionaires for whom representing their country is something of a chore?
Funnily enough, Croatia’s victory at Wembley in the final Euro 2008 qualifier, which ended England’s chances, might well have been avoided if Carragher had decided not to throw his toys out of the pram. With a defensive injury crisis England had to use Sol Campbell and Joleon Lescott at centre back, and were badly exposed.
