Official World Cup Thread

[Quid]

Swiss players attacked assistanct coach Mehmet Ozdilek and when Alpay tried to interfere the assault he was assaulted too. That's what I just saw on TV....

Obviously, we have seen two very different camera shots then...

These Swiss players are pity kids that pretend to be playing football...

Oh look who's talking...putting up posters at the airport insulting player's mothers and throwing eggs and other such things at the players as well as their bus is not at all immature then...

Fatih Terim just called the referee of both matched being "corrupted"....

Oh there comes a surprise...why can't he take a loss like a real man...

A world cup is always enjoyable. But I don't think Switzerland will prove anything on such childish stuff. They don't deserve a single point or even a pinch of reputation after all of that. Our "Democracy tutors" are falling one by one, quite interesting

And Turkey clearly deserves all the reputation for fair play and a job well done...oh...almost forgot...you should also get first prize in Human Rights...

Congratulations to all going to World Cup.. You know who I imply an exclusion for..

Generally...
I am not really certain you have watched the same match as I just did. I am glad we are in the WC and not you. I have never seen so much hatred on TV as I have just witnessed. I always knew that Turkey is hell to play in an away match (meant in a fair way) but that is just beyond the bounds of any justified rivalry.

It's easy for your coach to just blame others and accuse them of all sorts of things (good tactic) but maybe he should be looking at himself for once. The amount of bollocks he has been spreading is rather laughable at best and pure hate at worst.

I find it funny that one of your players went to the Swiss cabin to apologise for the punch up in front of the cabins and the general atrocious behaviour of the public and players alike (this coming from the horse's mouth, so to speak).

Also, I have for the first time tonight seen scenes from the Swiss Team's arrival and I would immediately be banned permanantly from this board if I only repeated a single syllable of the 'welcoming posters' that were there.

Don't get me wrong, you won today, and you did well, for the most part. You played rough and we have to get used to that first. The atmosphere and the tremendous support is almost unbeatable worldwide in Turkey. You're an emotional people which can help to miraculously lift your team. But let us be honest...you lost, you don't deserve to go to the WC. Take it as it is and do better next time. DOn't be a sore loser...because I don't like to be a winner rubbing it in...

Well played...
