I wasn't impressed with Türkiye's performance in the friendly matches. Alperen is playing for a team, but he's not the only one who can do it.
We lost to Lithuania, and France won. (I accept the French defeat as normal.)
We only beat the Philippines. It's perfectly normal to beat the Philippines now, but even that didn't perform as I expected.
I don't think Türkiye will do anything good in this championship either. Serbia is my clear favorite.
I don't think we'll beat any teams other than Portugal and Estonia in the group stage.
Turkey, after having bad games which you mentioned, looked solid today against Germany (in Munich). They had all the chances to win the game, also had an easy put back layup to send it into overtime, but it wasn't supposed to be. Both teams still have plenty of work to do honestly.
Germany will now face Serbia, which will be the first REAL test. If Serbia brings their A game and gives the top guys plenty of minutes it's gonna be really tough for my German team to beat them. Excited for this one!!
