  Look at the line-up, england will tremble sia.
  
  All top performers in the big stage:
  
  Patrick Kluvert, RvN, Rooy Makaay, Jaap Stam, Edgar Davids, Overmars, blah blah. England still have some second class striker like Vassell and Heskey.
  
  Fly kite lor.. England..
  
  Muahahahahaha I'm rooting for Holland to bring home the cup.
  
  

  Well, hope Holland win their playoffs that is....

  Darius can come on later if required.

  Contary to most opinions,I think there will be a winner in this game.
  
  I do hope England go on and beat the big-talking turks.They did it before,they can do it again.

  if you're to compare the odds
  
  Turkey is a harder team to beat in its own stadium than England.
  
  while Turkey do not really have all the flair.. they have the spirit. Skill is as important as the desire. The turks are full of it, no doubt. That was also the reason why I dared to support turkey during world cup.

  England had a pretty good run-ins too despite some nervy results at the last World Cup. But too bad... they were stop by the mighty Brazil. England scored the opening goal somemore. And that audacious looping ball from Ronaldinho...

  I think England will win. Base on their previous meetings, Turkey has never beat England.

  personally i think england will lose the match..turkey is the the favourite to win and england is NOT
  turkey was ranked 3rd in last year world cup while england are not even in semis
  besides, i think EPL standard isnt that high and it is overestimated due the to media coverage

  It pretty much boils down to how the english players react to the crowd.It won't be easy playing in front of a packed crowd of away fans.
  
  If England can compose themselves and not be intimidated by their surroundings,keep it tight,the pressure will be on Turkey to deliver.

  over-reliance on past results is an example why punters are nuts.
  
  This is not the squad of England 1999.
  
  Turkey has the depth and strength to pull off a win or draw.
  
  England can win if the defence is not shaky but facts are it looks more bleak. It makes me wonder if the defence exist for England.
  
  Of course, England has the strength in midfield, and the only striker I can see that may earn the goals is wayne rooney.
  
  Did you all calculate Turkey's strength? Basturk, Hakan Sas, Umit Davala, Ilhan Mansiz, Hakan Sukur, Emre, Izzet, Nihat Kahveci. The strength of attacking from Turkey is not invisible.
  
  Aren't you all taking it too easy for England's defence? EPL isnt the only place in this world where people play soccer.

  England had a pretty good run at the World Cup in fact but was stopped short by the Brazilians or should I say the eventual World Champion. Beat that.
  
  Spain has a quality league too but their National team has a tendency to under performed. Same goes for Portugal. It could be a different England if they comes together as a team. They still do have quality players lah.

  Schumacher (Ferarri) starting at position 14 n "Iceman" Räikkönen (McLaren-Mercedes) at position 8 for tmr last race of 2003 season.
• BÃ¥seline

  11 Oct 03, 15:48

  Räikkönen needs to win the race and hope for the best that Schumacher bows out w/o getting a point. Then, Räikkönen would be the youngest F1 Champion.

  its so suay that it started raining when michael started his qualifying lap. even more so for trulli and ralf. but i digress.....
  
  i'll go for a draw in tonight's game. it won't be a pretty match but it will be a gritty one. england must keep an eye on emre, tugay and kahveci.

  A draw is on the cards for alot of punters and fans alike but Turkey does not sees it that way. Expect goals from both sides.
  
  oooooo... Channel i & Supersports showing the big match at 12.55am the next day. Excellent!

  Looks likely that Heskey & Rooney will lead the strike.
  
  Heskey score at least a goal... or at least DO something.
