Hey lads...that is really something very sad... what happened yesterday in the City...... and I would like to express my heartfelt sympathy...especially for Kerr , who is leaving in the City.......

This is something unacceptable and coward...........

Thanks Nightsurfer...

As for the game, Latvia's gamesmanship served them well. Their decision to flood the pitch the night Turkiye were going to train and further leave it freeze in the -3'c conditions is little short of genius... Their biggest downfall to me was their lack of ambition to capitalise on Turkiye's 10 men in the last 15 minutes. They chose to sit back and take their 1-0 win. Whether it's enough will remain to be seen...

In an amazing show of patriotism alp Alpay does everything he can to force the referee to raise a symbolic al bayrak and then he is cricticized for it!

To say nothing of Fenerlondra missing the basic meaning of al for the provincial al= fraud,trick, treachery which he attributes to the undoubtedly above suspicion Latvians.

News from the German site "Google"...concerning the game:

++Psychoterror waren derweil die lettischen Nationalspieler, die vor vier Tagen überraschend mit 1:0 gewonnen hatten, in der Türkei ausgesetzt. Weil sie ohne gültige Visa anreisten, mussten sie zunächst zwei Stunden Schlange stehen, um dann die Formalitäten zu klären. Außerdem wurden sie von Rauschgifthunden beschnüffelt. Für die Durchführung dieser Maßnahme habe sich der türkische Fußball-Boss Haluk Ulusoy sogar bei der Regierung eingesetzt.++

Because the Latvia players did not have valid visas...they had to stay/stand on the queue for 2 hours till all formalities were finished........ Also they have been all snooped by Drug-Dogs... by order of Mr. Haluk Ulusoy (trough the Turkish goverment).....President of the Turkish Football Association.

So many factors have resulted in this surprise outcome. Underestimation, posts, crossbars, wrong player selection, strange tactics, losing a 2 goal lead etc etc. However, one things for sure and that is that we have maintained history like the 5 previous 3rd placed world cup nations before us...

Latvia should be commended for their hunger and disciplined approach if little else in a footballing context...

It's gonna be a long Summer... Roll on 2006...

Nothing wrong with that...they should be even strickter!

If you only knew how badly our NT has been treated when they went to England and Latvia......their bags are always searched by drug-dogs. This was the first time Turkiye did the same.

Istanbul guzel Istanbulum!
