Turkey 0-8 England, 14 November 1984
England 5-0 Turkey, 16 October 1985
Turkey 0-0 England, 29 April 1987
England 8-0 Turkey, 14 October 1987
Turkey 0-1 England 01/05/91
And let's not forget the 2-0 victory earlier in the current campaign. What does this tell you? In 6 previous games, england have scored 24 goals and conceded a grand total of 0. That means the average scoreline against Turkey is 4-0 to England.
So why are we all so worried? Wooo-waaaah! Turkey gots themselves loads of points in our group!!!!11 So what? They managed to get the better of Leichtenstein, Macedonia and Slovakia. Bar a randomly awful performance at home against Macedonia, so did we, not like it's tough competition or anything.
Make no mistake, England are by far the strongest team in the group, with Turkey limping behind, but still far and away better than the rest of the pack. There is no reason to suspect that England should lose the game this weekend. So come on you lot, sing with me in anticipation of an average performance....
FOUR NIIIIIIIL
FOOOUURR NIIIIIIL
FOUUR NIIILLLL
FOUR NIILLLLLL!

Anyways, a lot of them results are meaningless. Only one of them is in the last ten years for gods sake. Turkish football has risen rapidly in the last few years with Galatasary winning the uefa cup and the turkish success at the world cup.
Anyone catch Besiktas at Chelsea?
I know the topic is 'Why England should win' but drawing the match in this case would be much the same.
And if we lose... damn.
He is our lucky mascot and we have never lossed a game when he has been the ref. Beating Germany 5-1 and Argentina 1-0.
I'm predicting a 3-1 England win.
Sukur will score early on, with Gerrard getting the equaliser before half-time. Vassell will come on as sub and score 10 minutes before time, with Heskey scoring a last minute goal, to make the Turkish fans invade the pitch.
I'm confident that we'll get the result we need, but I'm more worried about some stupid England fans going over to get us kicked out.
COME ON ENGLAND!!!
