Seconds Out...there go the Turks

People...mainly former footballers who've conveniently forgotten that they ever had any mediocre performances...talk a lot about teams showing 'passion' and 'wanting it'.

The Turks showed just how much they wanted it last night by demolishing the Swiss 4-2 and then trying to beat hell out of them in the tunnel. Still didn't get them through to next year's World Cup, despite some cracking football.

So the next time you hear some former-pro dribbling on about 'they're not winning...because they aren't showing enough passion...they just don't seem to want it enough', spare a thought for the Turkish national team. And smile.
