Talking Turkey

Turkey has stopped by to visit our blog. Turkey's national team is nicknamed "The Crescent Stars"

The Turkish team has the U.S. beat in terms of a 2002 to 2006 reversal of fortune.

In 2002, the Turkish team advanced farther than the Americans in the planet's biggest soccer tournament. The Crescent Stars astounded the world and reached the World Cup semifinals, where the squad placed 3rd by defeating South Korea in the consolation match.

Then Turkey failed to make the 2006 World Cup tournament at all, losing in qualifying.
