TURKEY to defeat SPAIN. The Turks have to win & grab the 3 points or
risk giving up & allowing Bosnia to escape & take the 2ºposition of GROUP
5 & the other ticket for the World Cup in South Africa next year.
(Ali Sami Yen Stadium)
According to the cited paper Turkish Coach Terim has specifically wished &
enforced that tonight’s game be play not in the modern Ataturk Olympic
stadium with a 75,000 capacity, but in the older Ali Sami Yen Stadium home of
Istanbul Club Galatasaray with a capacity of 25.000. The idea is to convert the
playing ground into a pressure cooker for the Spaniards with the 12th man
being the fanatical Turkish fans who will roar (& flare) up the atmosphere to
intimidate Spain & give wings to Turkey. A note to bear in mind, Spain has
never scored a goal on Turkish soil!
The news is that Coach Terim will recall the spirit of “Braveheart” & of the
Scottish warrior William Wallace to impregnate his players for the job ahead,
the revenge of the loss last Saturday in Madrid 1-0. Let’s hope that this
enthusiasm stays within the realms of acceptable behaviour & that the local
authorities will enforce strict security rules as to avoid any possibility of injuries
to the fans & importantly the players who are at the mercy of “flying” objects
that can cause serious damage to their physical being.
SFS recovers the video from “Braveheart” with William Wallace giving his
pre-battle speech before facing the English army…Tonight Turkey & Spain will
“battle” in a sporting & gentlemanly manner for the 3 points. For the former
it will be a fight to the “Football death” & for the latter its honour, pride & its
direct ticket to the South Africa World Cup.
Don´t miss it!
