Watching that pictute made me miss ( the old) Tuncay. Loved the way he always deliverd for our NT with his ( mostly crucial) goals and a display full of passion for the entire game. Anyway a win with a clean sheet would be awesome. 1/2-0 falan filan. Bu arada boyle pis bir insanin bu topigi acmasina karsi itiraz ediyorum.

 

Aynen, serefsiz Soner'in yuzunden yine turnuva disi kalacagiz

 

This game is at TTA, not Bursa.

 

1-2 or 1-3 is my prediction. Hope this doesn't happen though.

 

If u hope it does not happen then why say it? Retard?

 

He's backing up his fellow slav-brothers.

 

He's being realistic. However, it might be closer given the fact that we're playing it on a the sorry excuse for a field that is at TTA.

 

help

Could anyone help me. I need information about how turkey national team play. To be more exact, I need formation in which they played and possible first XI (players which will start the match) for match vs. Croatia.

PS. Is this formation in which Turkey play under Hiddink?

....................Burak

Arda........Emre.....Hamit.........Töre

..................Mehmet

would be nice to see, but it'll most likely be hamit on the right and selcuk in the middle as well.

 

:howler: (@ the FM pic).

It's probably going to be something like Volkan D. - Gokhan G., Egemen K., Serdar K. (or Servet C.), Hakan B. - Selcuk I., Emre B., Mehmet T./Mehmet A./Selcuk S./Insert-Random-DM-here - Arda T., Burak Y., Hamit A.

 

So which formation is this, 4-3-3? I'am doing project for croatian fm manager forum about Tur-Cro game, so I need most exact line-up it could be. I researched a little and found out that Hiddink changes formation against each opponent, so that's why I ask if you are "sure" with 4-3-3 formation.

 

Could be 4-4-2 or 4-3-3. Really depends on the day. I think it'll be a 4-3-3 if Emre, Selcuk I and Nuri Sahin are fit enough to play.

 

First of guys, good luck, may the best team win this battle. :thumbsup:

It will be a tough unpredictable fight, I am sure of that.

We have a few guys who wont be able to take part in this encounter
1. Niko Kranjčar LM
2. Mladen Petrić CF
3. Ivan Strinić LB

Any of your players missing these playoffs due to injury?

 

The status of Nuri Sahin and Serdar Kesimal is as yet unknown, both made big transfers (on a different scale) but have yet to make their debuts for their new clubs.

 

Cheers Zico :thumbsup:

That Nuri seems like quite a great little player, and I have a feeling that Mourinho will have no choice but to let him go and play for his country.

 

The Croatia squad for the playoffs:

Goalkeepers: Stipe Pletikosa (Rostov/RUS), Danijel Subasic (Hajduk Split), Ivan Kelava (Dinamo Zagreb)

Defenders: Darijo Srna (Shakhtar Donetsk/UKR), Vedran Corluka (Tottenham/ENG), Sime Vrsaljko (Dinamo Zagreb), Dejan Lovren (Lyon/FRA), Josip Simunic (Dinamo Zagreb), Gordon Schindelfeld (Eintracht Frankfurt/GER), Domagoj Vida (Dinamo Zagreb), Manuel Pamic (Sparta Prague/CZE)

Midfielders: Ognjen Vukojevic (Dynamo Kiev/UKR), Ivan Rakitic (Sevilla/ESP), Tomislav Dujmovic (Dinamo Moscow/RUS), Luka Modric (Tottenham/ENG), Mato Jajalo (Cologne/GER), Ivan Perisic (Borussia Dortmund/GER), Danijel Pranjic (Bayern Munich/GER), Ivo Ilicevic (Hamburg/GER)

Strikers: Mario Mandzukic (Wolfsburg/GER), Eduardo da Silva (Shakhtar Donetsk/UKR), Nikica Jelavic (Rangers/SCO), Nikola Kalinic (Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk/UKR), Ivica Olic (Bayern Munich/GER)

 

Remember Turkish fans having a field day with Gordon Schindelfeld Besiktas supporters have bad memories of him.

 

Gordon :howler:

Isn't he blind/doesn't he have MS or something?

 

Oh and looking at that list, just want to point out that Sime Vrsaljko is a good, cheap buy in FM 2011

 

Thank you guys for so much help about formation :thumbsup:

Here is my project oc croatian FM forum: http://translate.google.hr/translate?hl=hr&sl=hr&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.cro-manager.net%2Fforum%2Findex.php%3Ftopic%3D11846.0

 

Our squad list has been released.

Volkan Demirel, Gökhan Gönül, Selçuk Şahin, Emre Belözoğlu, Caner Erkin (Fenerbahçe), Tolga Zengin, Remzi Giray Kaçar, Burak Yılmaz, Halil Altıntop (Trabzonspor), Sabri Sarıoğlu, Servet Çetin, Hakan Balta, Selçuk İnan, Kazım Kazım (Galatasaray) Egemen Korkmaz, İsmail Köybaşı (Beşiktaş), Sinan Bolat (Standard Liege) , Ömer Toprak (Bayer 04 Leverkusen), Hamit Altıntop (Real Madrid) Gökhan Töre (Hamburg), Mehmet Topal (Valencia), Arda Turan (Atletico Madrid), Ozan İpek (Bursaspor) Umut Bulut (Toulouse FC)

No big suprises, except perhaps Halil Altintop.

 

Nice to see Caner, but man oh man our we seriously need forwards. I'm hoping Muhammet Demir knocks in goals in the upcoming weeks.

 

My attempt (which is terrible). I'm guessing I got the defense and keeper right tho.

Burak Yilmaz - Umut Bulut
Arda Turan - Selcuk Inan - Emre Belozoglu - Hamit Altintop
Hakan Balta - Egemen Korkmaz - Servet Cetin - Gokhan Gonul
Volkan Demirel​

 

So no Nuri or Serdar

Damn that Real Madrid and Mourinho.

 

First, I want to say that, I signed up on this forum just to write a comment about these upcoming games between Turkey and Croatia.

I am Turkish living in US, and I play casual football with people from so many different nations, and played with a lot of Croatian players. What I didn't know and learned by listening to them is: Croats are VERY racist especially against Turkish people, due to history from 400 years ago. Turks, in return, do not have any beef specifically with Croats. I have never seen a more racist group than Croat players, and I played soccer with people from almost any nation.

The fact that Croatia lost back in 2008 (and thereafter that historical game, there were also lots of incidents between Bosnian Turks and Croats) and the fact that the first game will be played in Turkey...I can only imagine how bloody the second leg will be in Croatia!

To Croatians, this Turkey game is like the final, like the epic battle they were taught in their history books ever since they were kids. It is about REVENGE to them!

We Turks do NOT even realize how life-threatening the second leg in Croatia will be! Croats keep talking about a big surprise waiting for the Turkish NT in Croatia. We have a chance to get even with them in the first leg in Turkey, if you know what I mean.

 

:howler::howler::howler: Ahhhhhhhh that was good. I have tears in my eyes from this post.:howler::howler::howler:
When you get to man hood, look me up and we can play a non-confrontational/non rascist game game of footie right in the states if you like. I'll bring the soccer balls and you supply the wine, cheese, bread and prosciutto( i am coming from Canada its the least you can do for a Croat, i promise not bring my hockey skills to a game of footie:howler

 

Cool story bro.

Pre-emptive violence ftw. Roid raging?

 

:howler:

I think the guy also mixed up the history of Serbia and Croatia and even then, the rivalry isn't that big.

 

Hey gymrat how are you efforts to buy this site because your posts were deleted going? Are you still talking to your lawyers and customer satisfaction?

 

My posts being deleted based on what??? And I'd not give a flying fing y'know wht i mean even if they did. I am just lookin out for my fellow turkish bros.

 

Most actual Cro people live in Croatia and a large percentage (not all for the record) of the Cro people in the US have only seen their country on the travel channel, as proven by some XT posters we all know and cherish. So I wouldn't look too much into that.

Listen, only reason why it sometimes gets more attention is because some Bosnjaks (Frenk and co) tend to root for Turkey and it can create tension in mixed cities.

As for the Croatian fans, they're pretty much always fanatic, no matter who they play.

Listen, buddy. Don't try to patronize me like Im b's'ing here. I am NOT talking about Croatians who are Americans, who were born or moved to US a gazillion yrs ago. I am talking about immigrants. Croatian ppl who talk Croatian who came on a visa and can hardly speak English, and go back to their land almost every summer.

Cros consider us Turks in the same dough with Bosniaks. Bosniaks = Turks. I wish I was bullsh..ing here but I am not.
