Turkey didnt let play Norway play its game and dominated game.
Turkey has got confident win against Norway with 3:0 scoreline which without doubt did been unexpected result not only for whole Europe but to some extend to Turkey in the game where side didnt only get result but dominated whole game.
Without doubt, main task among scoring during this game has been to prevent Norway attacking game which ddi have Sorloth and Haaland, which Turkey did in very good way without letting them to create high number of opportunities with Sorloth shot onto post been closest their did get. Among providing very strong game, not letting Haaland to get game which he seeks for, side also showed very strong performance at front where Ozan Tufan without doubt high level and finding 2 very good goals, continuing scoring classy goals as he did against Besiktas earlier this month. In fact, Turkey provided such strong performance that it does raise question if Norway just performed badly or Turkey was so good that Norway looked poor. In our view, Norway werent on their best day but Turkey performance did provide prevention for them to show good game without doubt.
Right now, Turkey would be focussing to Latvia and only issue which does raise worry is that side tend to get good results against top sides but loses points against sides which below them. However, performance and level of game provides high hopes.
Turkey needs to continue like this and dont relax in upcoming games.
Meanwhile, Turkey did get its best result from opening 2 weeks of World Cup qualifiers as it never got 6 points during 1st two games and it got that from other main candidates for top spot in the group.
Without this outcomes, would provide high hopes as group leaders would get direct entry to tournament while runners-up would play play-offs from where only 3 sides would go through. With getting this 6 points, it is still be difficult to focus into top spot but it does come realistic as it provides huge advantage. Right now, its too early to make any calculation to achieve this as some pundits starting doing. For instance, during Euro 2016 all calculations were made for Holland to get top spot while Turkey ended at 3rd with Holland being below them. In fact, only calculation which needs to be done especially after this result is just to get as much as possible as they can. Without doubt players who play in top European league, with different training sessions and more organised style of play played crucial role for this outcomes.
Turkey did get perfect start and does have control of the group but it cant afford to relax as it did sadly numerous times before.
15% of supporters would be allowed to Turkey and Latvia game
Staying with Turkish National side, but this time with focussing into Covid19, TFF has in pretty surprising manner announced that 15% of supporters would be allowed to World Cup 2022 qualifier game against Latvia on 30th March with evening curfew being case and daily cases being on rise.
While Science Committee are currently discussing about providing some more hard lockdown rules with even 21-day full lockdown is rumoured to be on table, this decision is being very questionable. As remembered, committee members did state that decision in autum to allow 50% filling capacity of lodges were not suggested and discussed with them. Some decisions could come tomorrow and if will would raise question with this decision. Stating this decision possibly is related to filling some supporters during Champions League final which would be taking on end of May, as UEFA provides pressure. With this decision of Turkey-Latvia it would be crucial for TFF to provide specific guidelines and go through it, more like aim here is even to do test run for Champions League.
TFF sadly did make on its time premature decisons when coming to Covid19 hopefully this would not be another one.
