A big big compliment to the Turkish team! They showed fantastic fighting spirit and made the match very attractive to watch I didnt like the way the brazilians played in the second have after the goal. If theyll play like this against Germany they surely will lose it.
Brazilians did play good in the first half but again they gave too many chances away in the second when playing on counter attacks.
Again this match never deserved a winner both played very very well, where Turks won hearts of many football fans.

I don't know about anybody else, but I thought that match was one of the best of the tournament. End to end stuff and it was in doubt right up to the final whistle. Great goal by Ronaldo, another fantastic display by Rustu and there could definitely have been more goals from either side.
I think that the turks have won a lot of admirers in this tournament. They showed a lot more fight than England did against Brazil, and if you are going to go out, that's the way to do it. I hope Brazil go on to win it now. They have won every game so far and they look good on the eye as well.
*The Game predicted that final even before the quarter finals started; now it's time for one last prediction. It's Germany's time now, kids. Go and kick some Brazilian rear ends, O' German soldiers. People, That Is All.*

Your'e not alone game bhai, I wanted to Germany to win to but I didn't predicted to be in finals.
What a match that was, really exciting, Ronaldo proved his best and that Turkish goalie played well also, expect him to get an offer from on of the major clubs.
Its set, 2 of my favirote teams will finally meet.
Yes!
I reallllllllllllllly wanted Turkey to win soo damn bad, man it hurt soo much. But I gotta hand it to our guys they did hell of a great job, inshallah they win against Korea.
And I don't want Brazil to win at all. In 94 I wanted them to win, but in 98 I wanted France now I dont really care that much since Turkey is out.

Assuming that it doesn't go into extra time or penalty shootouts, IF Brazil walks away with the WC, i wonder by what sort of margin they will win - 3-2? 2-1? interesting to note Kahn's performance; apparently, he has allowed only one goal through the entire tournament... that by Ireland's Keane.
*Aray bhai, The Game's freakin money is on the line. He has to remain modest. The People's ARTIST made the prediction way before all the ignorant "I watch football because everyone is watching it dude!!" shmucks, and you know it. Now go and enjoy the German victory. The fuhrer's team will no doubt bring the Cup where it rightfully belongs. **Think About It**. People, That Is All.*

Thanx to all pakistani brothers and sisters since they overwhelmingly supported Turkey against Brazil. I am sure Turks also would support if Pakistan had math against Brazil.
Since all fields are conceived through islamic-secularism conflict in Turkey, this is another interesting article about turkey team in WC. The name of article is:WHO IS IN CHARGE ON TURKISH TEAM: COACH OR ISLAM? http://www.csmonitor.com/2002/0625/p07s01-woeu.html
Some turkish secular writers didn't support turkey team since they claimed that Turkey's soccer players have fallen into the hands of tarikat(islamic sects-They mean noor jammah),led by Hakan Sukur. One of them suggested that the team did not pass the ball to players who do not pray (!) As you see the debatings are too comic in here even in sport field
Umair I think the stupidy is not in turkish team, it is in the sick mentality of those writers. The only reason why turkish footballers are called member of tarikat by them is because why they went friday prays in korea and japan before matches. This event (going friday prays) is portrayed as if they did sex-alchol party by those writers
Since there is no mosque in Ulsan in korea, they called the imam in seul mosque(a pakistani imam) to Ulsan for friday pray and this event regarded as unforgivenable crime by those writers. Surely most of those claims are cheap and funny lies. These writers claimed that the team did not pass the ball to players who do not pray, anyone who reads such silly claims must laugh
These so-called writers write in serious press and I wonder if they believe themselves to what they wrote and how can they create such comic and silly claims
But I wonder allthough pakistan is regarded as a brother country in turkey and it is loved much why are not any turk in here except us?
You live in usa and moved from turkey when you were 10 years old as I remember, in which city did you born (memleket nere kardesh)
