Since the 2002 World Cup, in 2006, 2010, 2014, 2018 and 2022, all the national football teams have lost their contracts. Together with the national football team, the five consecutive World Cup qualifiers, and Turkey, feeling that Turkey participated in the 2002 World Cup to us 3:0.
Turkey is an Asian country with an area of 783,600 square kilometers, 97% of which is located in the Asia Minor peninsula, which is geographically part of Asia. To the west of the Black Sea Strait (Bosphorus), about 23,000 square kilometers also belong to Turkey. However, Turkey considers itself a standard European country. It is also easy to understand that in the past, Europe was strong, and even the United States in North America was the world's only superpower, which many people believe to be a continuation of European civilization. Turkey has not only joined NATO, the main battlefield in Europe, but is also committed to joining the European Union, but it is a pity that the shaved head is hot, and the EU does not want to accept Turkey.
In the field of football, Europe is the strongest continent in the world, Turkey is close to the water first, of course, does not want to go to Asia with a lower level of football. Many Asian countries that are geographically close to Europe also choose to do so, such as Israel, Georgia, Azerbaijan, Armenia, and Kazakhstan. Turkey appeared in the World Cup in Switzerland as a European team as early as 1954, which was also Turkey's first participation in the World Cup. Incredibly, Turkey, which is not weak, has only participated twice in its World Cup history, except in 2002, which was 1954. This number is not even as good as the European 00 third-rate teams such as Scotland and Austria. Scotland have competed in eight World Cups, including a wave of five consecutive scores. Austria also had four times, in 1954, 1982, 1990 and 1998.
In 1958, Turkey was poured 4:1 by the West German team in the first game, and the rookie chickens pecked each other in the second game, and Turkey beat South Korea 7:0 to the north. Because he had 2 points with West Germany, he had to play another play-off. This play-off game wiped out Turkey's face, 2-7, watching West Germany qualify and eventually win the title. Of course, the worst thing about this World Cup was South Korea, which went home with 16 duck eggs. After years of hard work, South Korea eventually became Asia's top powerhouse, and has not fallen behind since the 1986 World Cup.
What Turkey did not expect was that the next World Cup participation would be 48 years away. The worst was the 1982 World Cup qualifiers, in which Turkey was in a group with the Soviet Union, Czechoslovakia, Wales and Iceland, losing all eight games and accumulating 0 points.
The 2002 World Cup was a time when Turkey won 3:0 against the national football team, drew 2-2 with Costa Rica, lost to Brazil, and then beat Japan and Senegal to reach the semi-finals and then lose to Brazil.
Turkey once again did not expect that after this glory, it has so far been unable to qualify.
Turkey had a dismal result in the World Cup, with a relatively good result in the European Championship. Turkey played in 1996, 2000 (quarter-finals), 2008 (semi-finals), 2016 (expanded to 24 teams), Euro 2020. Overall, Turkey's level is in the middle of Europe, and mid-table teams such as Sweden and Denmark can compete, and life is not so good after leaving Asia and entering Europe.
If Turkey is stronger in Asia than Japan, South Korea, Iran, Saudi Arabia, and Australia, and almost firmly locks in a World Cup spot, perhaps Turkey would rather be a phoenix tail than a chicken's head. There is news that Japan wants to leave Asia and join Europe, and the Asian strong teams will definitely welcome it, so that Japan may end up with the same as Turkey, and it will be difficult to enter the World Cup again.
