Spain vs. Turkey and Vice Versa




Turkey plays against Spain twice in 4 days to qualify for 2010 World Cup. 28 March in Barnebau, and 1 April in Ali Sami Yen stadium in Istanbul.

I can't make any predictions when the Turkish National team plays. So far, they had 1 home-game draw against Belgium (1-1) and an away-game one against Estonia (0-0). And beat Armenia!

To me, Spain will win the first game, but the second leg will be EXTREMELY difficult for them!

Now, the squads:

Turkey:

GK: Volkan Demirel (Fenerbahçe), Rüştü Reçber (Beşiktaş), Ufuk Ceylan (Manisaspor)

DEFENCE: Gökhan Gönül (Fenerbahçe), Sabri Sarıoğlu, Emre Aşık, Hakan Kadir Balta (Galatasaray), Sedat Bayrak (Sivasspor), İbrahim Kaş (Getafe), Eren Güngör (Kayserispor), İbrahim Üzülmez (Beşiktaş)

MIDFIELDERS: Hamit Altıntop (Bayern Münih), Kazım Kazım, Emre Belözoğlu (Fenerbahçe), Ayhan Akman, Arda Turan (Galatasaray), Mehmet Aurelio (Real Betis), Nuri Şahin (Borussia Dortmund), Tuncay Şanlı (Middlesbrough)

ATTACKERS/STRIKERS: Nihat Kahveci (Villarreal), Batuhan Karadeniz (Eskişehirspor), Semih Şentürk (Fenerbahçe) , Mevlüt Erdinç (Sochaux), Gökhan Ünal (Trabzonspor), Sercan Yıldırım (Bursaspor).


SPAIN:

Oh my, Oh my!
