hmm it was coming, they havnt looked like going on and achieving big things the last couple of years. i think they really need that extra cash injection from the thai pm in order to buy a world class player or two.
anyway, turkey won 1 - 0 against the socceroos from a nice free kick by nihat, but geeze the aussies were unlucky not to score. they played alot better than the previous game and poor finishing if anything, cost them the game. skoko had a shitload of shots outside the box, if only it was kewell taking them one of them might of gone in. grella and bresciano connected well in the midfield with a few grella thru balls nearly being converted to goals by bresciano. if there was one downfall it was the fullbacks, they struggled with the pace of the turkish wingers. but then again it was lazaridis and vidmar, not the fastest blokes in the game currently.
