Turkey squad announced for play-off games against Crotia

Goalkeepers: Volkan Demirel (Fenerbahce), Tolga Zengin (Trabzonspor), Sinan Bolat (Standart Liege)

Defenders: Gokhan Gonul (Fenerbahce), Sabri Sarioglu (Galatasaray), Servet Cetin (Galatasaray), Ömer Toprak (Bayer 04 Leverkusen), Egemen Korkmaz (Besiktas), Giray Kacar (Trabzonspor), Hakan Balta (Galatasaray), Ismail Koybasi (Besiktas)

Midfielders: Hamit Altintop (Real Madrid), Gokhan Tore (Hamburger SV), Selcuk Sahin (Fenerbahce), Mehmet Topal (Valencia C.F.), Emre Belozoglu (Fenerbahce), Selcuk Inan (Galatasaray), Caner Erkin (Fenerbahce), Arda Turan (Atletico Madrid), Ozan Ipek (Bursaspor)

Forwards: Burak Yilmaz (Trabzonspor), Kazim Kazim (Galatasaray), Umut Bulut (Toulouse FC), Halil Altintop (Trabzonspor)

These two games will be very tough. I'm not sure if our last game that we won on the last second will be a mental advantage or disadvantage but anyway we need to go to Euro 2012 so badly. After the corruption investigation, Turkish Football has lost a lot. Both teams have equal chances, i guess. After recent disasters (Earthquake and terrorist attacks) Turkey is very motivated as a nation. There will be a great supportive atmosphere in TT Arena on friday. Our most dangerous weapons will be Burak and Arda. They are doing a great job recently and i hope they keep doing at least for two games. Arda is helping Atleti with his assists and Burak scored 13 goals in 8 games in the league. Anyway there will be a great game, challenge to watch this week and i hope we will get the ticket.
