Erm. If it's my squad, I want a guy on the bench that can do that for my team. If Turkey fails now, there will be a lot of people pointing to this and wondering if Sukur could have helped. I'm never a fan of having that sort of excuse. I hope they do well. Captain + 5 goals = bit player? Erm. If it’s my squad, I want a guy on the bench that can do that for my team.

He is a decent player but really even if he was selected he would be a bench warmer. Turkey needs a decent squad because for them their group will be difficult to get out of. actually sukur was a bit player even during the euro qualifiers with nihat and tuncay preferred over him.

Unless there's an injury or serious drop in form, leaving out your captain and multiple-goal scorer from the qualifiers seems a bit classless. He did a huge part of the work to get them there - he deserves to be there as well. I really hope for Turkey’s sake that this was a football decision and not some Seedorf-like clash of personalities.
