It was a good start Akın. Guus Hiddink’s new formation with 3 box-to-box midfielders (Aurelio, Emr Belözoğlu, Hamit Altıntop) gave a solid streght to the middle and i think this threat will lead Turkey Team to dominate European Qualification’s matches.

Thanks for the post..

Dominate hahaha. Barely beat 10-man Belgium, just wait for the game in Brussels.

CSS, we had most of the ball, your tactics were to kick the ball up and hope for a goal. It worked but you were no match for us. You scored two goals of goalkeeping errors. The match in Brussels won’t even matter as we will already have qualified
