    100% with you apart from the last sentence...last year when Turkey beat Spain it was a great surprise and a huge performance for Turkey! However, it was just a group win and Turkey ended up 8th...Hope you don't get the same thing again this year 'cause indeed the team has improved a lot and seems determined to prove itself in front of its audience.
    Last year the critical game was not against Spain, but vs Slovenia, i.e the 1st place game. It was not just a group game. So, with only one loss in 6 games we ended up 2nd, and we had to play against Greece while Slovenians matched up with Croatia. Nobody could say the outcome, of course, but the latter was a more convenient opponent for us. We could get a medal but instead finished 8th.

    This time the critical match-up (i.e deciding the group leader) was against Greece. With the win, the path looks much more open now. True that anything may happen. Spain might slip to fourth or we may lose to New Zealand, who had done something similar in 2002, but it was a very important win.

We lost to Greece in QF how? in OT. It was very close. So, this win is just a continuation... We definitely can win in neutral court too. Ilyasova did not do something miraculous either, watch the guy's ever consistent performance for God's sake.

        And considering the brackets, it's not just a group win.
        but nobody said that turkey is not getting better and better each year. In fact this team is being built in the past 4-5 years for this years tournament which you host. It would be a huge surprise if you were not performing this year. Last year for me it was a failure for turkey because after the loss against greece they could finish 5th but decided to give up in the remaining games. Time will tell what will happen in this and the following tournaments. I believe you can reach the semis this year and be a medal contender in the following tournaments. you should just hope that the nba players will keep joining the team each summer.

          Turkish team has so far 4 NBA player. ( not counting Okur) We already create very young and high potentional team for future.
          How many NBA players did they have in 2005? or 2006?

          And our only NBA player that's bringing a boost is Ilyasova, who were doing the same before going there. Omer Asik and Semih Erden is just gonna start, so it's nothing related to their NBA-ness.

            Yeah, I guess I was a bit heated up by a few comments. Anyway, I didn't mean to sound angry, sorry for that.

                        • Congrats to Turkey, great game.
                          Now Greece needs to rebound from this loss and be calm for the future.
                          In this world cup the competition is tougher than the past, USA barely won yesterday, Spain lost twice, more teams are stepping up like Australia, Brazil, France.
                          I would just expect more defensive effort and some offense because now their offense schemes look like guarded 3pt contests.

                              turkey is perhaps the most modern and free in thought for a muslim dominated country. but do the muslim turks eat pork no matter how open in thought they are?

                              Most of the turks don`t eat pork. I do. I eat shit when I am hungry. I even eat seals (just kidding).

                              • At the end of the day this was a group match , a critical one yes, but that should only be a start for us to get our confidence even higher and keep on doing what we are doing at its best.

                                Now the celebrations over, and i hope that we back on ground and start getting ready to our future matches with full concentration.

                                A great victory, important one by all means but still nothing more than a win that we had versus Cote D'Ivoire.

                                I hope we're gonna build on that.
