WHY is Turkey not a football powerhouse? | EURO 2021

Turkey is a country that loves and breathes football like no other. Istanbul is probably the most passionate football city in the world. Galatasaray, Fenerbahce and Besiktas – the big three dominate Turkish football. But what about the national team? The country has big clubs, great footballers and an amazing talent pool. Yet they haven’t been really successful on the big stage! Why is that? What do you think? We go on a tour to find out…

  1. That's Debatable

    Amazing content as usual and picking up Copa 90's slack as usual.

  2. mojo jojo

    Those who have power and controlling football industry dont give importance to creating value in Türkiye

  3. Trabzon

    Problem ist die aktuelle Regierung die einen zu großen Einfluss im Türkischen Fussball hat.

  4. Cooking in Nature

    ne zaman tüm süperlig takımları trabzonspor gibi anadolu takımı olursa o zaman futbol devi olabiliriz.

  5. Initial BM

    I'm just astonished by the amount of turks you've found who can actually understand english. like, I've been in istanbul for the past 4 years and it's just so rare, gave me a lot of difficulties as a foreigner myself

  6. Nil Nil

    When players start being political stooges, they simply start losing the respect.
    Supporting a dictator like Erdogan is personal choice and should never be a compulsion.

  7. Fabricio Seiffert

    Saudações à Turquia do Brasil! Espero que ganhem a Copa do Mundo algum dia, mas não em cima do Brasil. rs

  8. sosososososo

    I actually don't understand why Turkey can't be invited at WC these dayz. They have enthuastic culture and populations. Their NT is not even bad

  9. Azrae l

    unprofessionell here. scouts are corrupt, they are talking the guys wich rich parents for money and not the real talents. it is disgusting

  10. Mr. Reese

  11. Muslera Law

  12. Edi Cool

    Love your video but galatasaray the biggest club in turkey 🇹🇷 and more fans then others clubs 💛❤️🙏

  13. yörüngesine oturan teleskop

    No oil money. Real football teams.

  14. CrozySpoN

    Content is wonderful…wish you spent more time with Galatasaray fans instead of fenerbache fans(also known as "F**** B*****"… but it definitely demonstrates the delusional state Turkish society is in! They want to progress quickly… they want titles every year so the average age is 29… how pathetic no wonder even the big teams are poor as shit!!! Never develope a home grown team to dominate the league.

  15. Tushy Ranx

    The country synonymous with star footballers at the twilight of their careers also produces the best central attacking midfielders

  16. Diego Maradona

    I lost my respect totally for rivaldo in 2002 because of the red Card for the Turkish player in group stage,he kicked the ball against his knee and rivaldo acted like he was punched by mike Tyson in his face,shame on you rivaldo you were one of my favourite players.

  17. Abdullah Çetintaş

    Asker selamı mı siz gavurlara neden bu kadar girdi?

  18. ALİ TÜRK

    Öncelik o asker selamı bir yerineze g****sin Suriye'ye işgal eden biz değiliz sizsiniz. TÜRKİYE AKIL VERMEK size mi DÜŞTÜ.

  19. Mukhammad Dzul Nurfaizal

    This is also happens to Indonesia, we have passionate, hooligans, and a lot of talents even one of the biggest in Asia. But we still couldn't reach the big 100 of FIFA ranks 🙁

  20. Muhammed Mert

    Cheers for the video content! Forgive me for chiming in, I would love your opinion. Have you researched – Lammywalness Prevent Dangerous Guide (just google it)? It is a smashing one of a kind guide for discovering how to get winning soccer betting tips minus the headache. Ive heard some awesome things about it and my friend Sam at very last got amazing results with it.
