You showed too much respect to a sub par team. Even Bilic's comments at the end of match was showing that. He said that he would be a happy man if the result was a draw.

Anyways, I'm talking about what I see in the game mate. You can agree or disagree. Turkey is a team who could only create 1 opportunity at home against Azerbaijan on a must win qualification game. That's why I'm saying that this game may create illusions on your minds. Because the name is somewhat bigger than Israel or other teams you played against.

Btw, I watched both matches on the stadium, and believe me Germany did a lot of favor to us by only scoring 3 goals

i watched the game against germany also, i grew up there so i watch almost every german match
important thing is we qualified, i am not very concerned about us getting beaten by the big teams, we have more often won against big teams than we lost. now we have time to improve our game.... you don´t know what a shock the loss gainst turkey was.... we were the dominant team 2008, we won all group matches, dominated germany completely, played a perfect tournament, played fantastic against turkey, we had more than 20 shots in that game, turkey had his first chance in 70th minute, everyone was injured in your team, we basically played against turkish b or c team,.... but we just couldn´t score no matter how hard we tried... and then we score in the last minute after we completely dominated the game and turkey scores the equalisier in the last second and wins on penalties.... after that match i knew we wouldn´t qualify for the WC cuz we were so down, we played such a fantastic EURO and went out already in the quarterfinals..... IT HURT MAN, IT HURT
i believe in our team, we have enough time to fix some things and we have always been able to kcik out a big team.
