Quintana Posted November 16, 2005 Report Share Posted November 16, 2005 What a thriller!! UffCongratualtions to Switzerland and respect to Turkey for this entertaining match. BUT: When will i watch a loss of the Turkish Team in Turkey without all these incidents after the final whistle? :help: :Oo: :shocked: The behaviour of the Turks is scandalous. Apparently some Swiss players were molested after the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lrd1rocha Posted November 16, 2005 Report Share Posted November 16, 2005 Everybody knows the FIFA rankings are a joke.Both Bahrain and T&T are crap and the fact that one of them is going to the World Cup is quite comical. Indeed, it is a pity that Trinidad and Tobago passed to WC while Uruguay missed the bus. That happens when FIFA gives CONCACAF 3 and a half tickets....nuts.

Ahmet Posted November 16, 2005 Report Share Posted November 16, 2005 This is so fuc.king idiotic! We got eliminated due to goal differences? What a pathetic to eliminate a team. This match should have gone into shootouts or have a 3rd set of game. Arghhhh! I'm hope that all the Anti Turks here are pleased with our disqualification as there are a countless of them here who are porbably filled with joy.

Spain is finall in, I'm happy though I couldn't see tonights's match. I agree, FIFA rankings are useless. BTW, October 2005 ranking: 1 Brazil 2 Netherlands 3 Czech Republic 4 Argentina 5 France 6 Mexico 7 USA 8 Spain Will FIFA use these teams (including Germany and exluding USA, IMO) to decide the seedings? Anyone knows how the seedings are done? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commiserations TG - I understand that you will be upset. We've all been there wih our own respective national teams. What you have to tell yourself is that, whilst it seems unfair because you were on the losing side, you would not see the injustice really if you had won on goal differences! Also, there are just as many people on here that wanted Turkey to win as not, so take heart. The world is not out to get you, even though it may seem like that sometimes...

Keep smiling, there are always good things around the corner! Your absolutely right Beth! Its just that this is such a huge pill to swallow that will definitely leave a stomech turning feeling for all Turks to bare with. We were so close but due to goal differences, we were stopped short from gaining our ticket to Germany. :cry: :cry: It will definitely be even more bitter for us when the World Cup games comes along and seeing that our national team wont be present. Nonethelss, I thank you for your support as it is much appericiated. All the best to England any may the best...

BethnalGreen Posted November 16, 2005 Report Share Posted November 16, 2005 I know - it's always a bitter pill to swallow when you come so close. It's a case of 'so near yet so far' and you would probably feel better if you had been comprehensively beaten. In my experience though, I would always prefer to be pipped at the post so to speak. That way, next time there is a lot more hope! I like to look on the bright side 9 times out of 10! :grinning: Look at Greece - they didn't make it to the last world cup, then suddenly, when nobody was looking, they won Euro 2004! Proof that something better is always around the corner... :oh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm hope that all the Anti Turks here are pleased with our disqualification as there are a countless of them here who are porbably filled with joy. I undestand that you must be upset because what happened (as Beth said)... but anyway, I think that this system is totally fair. I think it is very important that you could score in a place completly against you. I don't think that the Swiss were as comfortable for playing in Istambul as in Zurich. I imagine the case, for example, Argentina vs. Brazil. Everybody knows that the matches in Rio and Buenos Aires are very complicated for the visitor team. So, if you can score more away goals, you are better than the other team. Why we should forget all of this extra-work and go for penalties or a 3rd. match? Anyway, I thought Turkey deserves the qualification but I don't know if they deserve more than the Swiss. About a new qualification system... I think the BIG problem was the idea of the playoffs CONCACAF/AFC and OFC/CONMEBOL. It was obvious that only one good team (Australia and the other Southamerican) and one bad team (the fourth of CONCACAF and the fifth of AFC will be forever a bad team) will qualify. It is totally unfair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faster Posted November 17, 2005 Report Share Posted November 17, 2005 there is nothing wrong with the qualification system expect that Africa should be stripped of one stop and it should be given to Europe remember this is a world cup, therefore there can't be 28 European teams and than 4 for everywhere else the Eurocentricness of soccer is nuts and needs to end for the game to competitively grow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BethnalGreen Posted November 17, 2005 Report Share Posted November 17, 2005 faster - I don't understand your post, it seems to contradict itself. On the one hand you are saying that Europe should have another spot and therefore doesn't have enough and on the other, you seem to be slamming the system for 'favouring' Europe. Which is it?

RAP Posted November 17, 2005 Report Share Posted November 17, 2005 Four countries from CONCACAF(USA, Mexico, Costa Rica, Trinidad and Tobago) qualified for Germany; Quite an achievement from a supposidly weak futbol confederation. Yet two of its countries are ranked in the FIFA top ten. ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have heard rumors, that the US-Team will resident in Hamburg and Brazil want to get paid for their visit in one region of Germany. 8 Teams have already found their "basement": Yet to be confirmed or rumors: Togo - Bad Segeberg Ivory Coast - Magdeburg Brazil - Castrop-Rauxel Poland - Herzlake or Bad Segeberg Italy - Hennef Ukraine - Ruit France - Aerzen England - Baden-Baden Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quintana Posted November 17, 2005 Report Share Posted November 17, 2005 And some footage from CNN Türk: http://www.wtp-radio.net/download/turkvsschweiz.wmv As you can see a Turkish guy in black clothes starts it all by trying to kick a Swiss player, the Swiss no. 14 (Benjamin Huggel?) reacts by kicking the man back. When he enters the tunnel, the man in black uses a karate kick to hit no. 14 in the back. And surprise, surprise: Alpay was there as well....

Not always, only during crucial games when a few plays over react with anger which is a shame. Nonetheless, thanks for your support. A lot of Turks are still angered by the term that saw us getting disqualified. That being the away goals. Anyways, whatever, we'll see how "excellent" both the German and Swiss team will preform in the World Cup. Both of which, I think will flunk within the first set round of the games. Turkey will be back for EURO 2008, Mark my words. We have some unfinished business to deal with and it will motivate us to kick some (football) as.s like no tomorrow.

I think other confederations have more spots than what they deserve. Asia should have 3 and a half, CONCACAF only 3 and Africa 4 and a half. The rest, give them to Europe and Southamerica.
