"except why are turkey usually in the euro's and wc and finland have never qualified for either?"
Keep in mind that Turkey has not qualified for anything since 2008, and won't be qualifying for Euro 2016 either. That's going to be 4 tournaments gone since their last qualification.
"turkey aren't going through a decline. guys like tore, ulcan, enes unal, ozyakup and calhanoglu are going to be the spine of turkey for the next 10 years if everything goes right. tore and calhanoglu alone will destroy teams."
1) Calhanoglu is the only one of these who has proven himself to be actually good. Wait a few years to judge for Unal, he's a kid.
2) That's 4 players. I can name an entire starting XI of promising players that Finland has in the same age group.
"turkey is showing signs of improvement it's hard to gauge if you're improving when you're beating the devastating might of, faroe islands"
You're forgetting that my signs of improvement that I mentioned are very recent. Quite a while after that match.
"they can object all they want kyle lafferty is still better than all of finland he's carried palermo, rangers and his own country for years now while eremenko and moisander have been playing in ass leagues for ass teams (besides ajax)."
>palermo
>rangers
>a tiny country that has nobody else who is even close to good
Good for him.
Now realize that CSKA Moscow and Ajax are loads better than any of those three teams, and then realize that Eremenko is the best player of one and Moisander was the captain of another before his recent transfer to Sampdoria, who like Ajax could be challenging for a spot in the Champions League. |
