Turkey wooo-waaah! Scarey super-team!! Or not. See below all previous encounters with Turkish opposition, before the current tournament:
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!

Turkey have also never lost a match with Colina in charge.

Looks like it's going to be a draw then, which means England will qualify to the next round.
=D
I'm tempted to put a tenner on England winning at 2-1, but it's hard to tell what the result will be.

I've put £10 on Turkey winning. Makes the game MUCH more interesting for me.
I've had £2 on all these to win.
