    As a Turk this was a great chat to listen to. Especially because that tournament, I was a kid back then, was just an overwhelming rollercoaster of emotions, where we really ended up believing we could beat anyone, and I am sure the team felt the same way. As Kazım said, we ended up against Germany, with only two eligible outfield players on the bench, and our third goalkeeper, (our first GK Volkan remained suspended) as our third substitution option. And we still believed. Amazing memories, indescribable. Furthermore, it's always good to hear some comments about the leadership from someone who was raised with a different culture, the issue that 'young players can't be leaders in Turkey' is still present, but I feel like we're at least progressing. Big up Kazım, love from a Galatasaray fan.

      In 2008 we had some luck, i dont think winning was the cup was a thing. But World Cup 2002 finals was literally robbed from Turkiye! 22 years later, im still not over what Rivaldo did, how the ref gave a penalty for a foul made 5 meter out of the box. Without exaggerating im still devastated by it.

    As a Turk, only 10 yrs old, that 2008 EUROs run sparked my passion for Football.
    Watching this Team taught me ONE thing in particular,
    TO NEVER EVER GIVE UP UNTIL THE WHISTLE IS BLOWN.
    We couldve won against Germany even, but sadly too many injuries and yellow cards gutted our team and even though we fought till the last second our luck ran out.

    “Win every game” has nothing to do with being arrogant. It is a mentality we had to adopt inthe 80s and 90s when we hit rock bottom in 70s and early 80s. At one point we were barely above the likes of Malta, Luxemburg, etc. We used to defend with 10 guys and we were happy when we lost 1-0 instead of 8-0. Legendary coaches like Mustafa Denizli and Fatih Terim changed that attitude despite harsh criticism from then current media and older authorities. That’s when all the success began.

    In 2008 turkiye had an equal game to Switzerland, good 15 minutes against Czech, a lucky punch against Croatia. The one match (besides Portugal in group stage) they lost against Germany was the best match they played.
    But please don’t tell me that they were close to win the euros. How about Russia? They made it to semi finals, too and they played much better than turkiye..

    who dont know it her mother cyrus turk.around 1955 lind a england own cyrus yjere for like how indian can migrate backuk at past cyrusians were too.i cant remeber well but i think his dad was crabian .so becouse of his mother turk even he didnt know turkish or never live at turkey he was eleagble for turkish national team
    he bnefited lot as wll he wasnt so good player i mean probably never ever gone be english national lvl or star lvl evn for turkey he was winger and fast few year was ok moslty subtitutes or game plan for it.he had few good year not like good carier 10-12 year long very short lived
    he get lot chances from turkish team but generaly after half season they wana try sold him or loan
    2007-8 was so great at fenerbahce national team etc quarter final way with zico .some player played first team at team some star born few izco player even in that season light so biright u can belive it like ugur boral play at chamions leage match so good u cant belive it
    so im nt dissing but
    but he was so lucky becouse of his mother turk and forgein rules were strick at that era so if i remeber coreclty can had only forgeiner at squats or in field.so any player had turkish citizenship was valuble .
    his ersonality in felid was problem too he get several red card or in action
    mustafa izzet which another player from uk played at turkish national as well.similarity as his dad was cyrusian turk but he was nice guy always smile always psoivity we didnt seen anything bad about it.
    when turkey world 3. at 2002 he was in squad he play so less
    kazim played more yeah but he weas never ever was key player or main part
    he was part of squad yes but an example 2008 10000 people will talk about nihat kahveci's some goals or effort or some other player probaly no one gone talk about kazim or wont even rememeber
    if he more disline didnt waste his talent can be good player or other then few bright moment barely was averga or bellow player
    becouse of missing training seasons lot of yellow cards red cards ifght in and out felid he wasnt able be part anywere long
    hort lved carrier sadly.
