- The last time Turkey were labeled "dark horses" at a UEFA European Championship, their dreams of going deep into the competition quickly became a nightmare as they crashed out winless at the bottom of their group.
But Turkey are back for redemption at Euro 2024. Having stormed through qualifying on the back of their strongest team in years and claimed 3 points in their opening group game against Georgia, they’ll fancy their chances of turning that old “dark horse” label into a reality.
Will history repeat itself, or can the Crescent Stars finally live up to the hype and surprise everyone? Here's why Turkey are the real dark horses at Euro 2024.

After matchday 1, Turkey stands at #1 in their group, above Portugal. The match against Portugal will show if they can unlock their talent or not.
HUGE game!
Im stuck between both sides but we can do it

@@bajlozi6873 yup very badly
Bro I am Turkish but please don't do this lol. We need to stay humble and focussed. Nobody in Turkey thinks we can actually win the Euros. For me personally reaching the quarter finals sounds like a nice and realistic estimate.
I agree man, I'm Turkish as well
exactly, greetings from germany TÜRKIYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE !!!!!
This euro is full of surprises. Don't sell yourself short.
No doubt. 1 game at a time.
I actually think we can win what do you mean? Tournament's and finals never decided by team quality.
No harm in a little optimism based on strong showings and a good squad :)

Unfortunately Turkey is the most inconsistent team I have ever seen. They have the potential to win against Portugal today, but also lose high against them. The defense and middlefield positioning after losing the ball is terrible.

Just saying, Romania is unbeaten so far in qualifiers + Match 1 group. Today is the match against Belgium. The biggest test. Let's hope my comment won't age like milk :D Turkey looks great too. Can't wait to see them against Portugal right before Romania - Belgium. Full day of great football.

Could you perhaps make a video about Ronaldo and possibly his last Euro?
Thanks buddy! That video is actually already in the works and will be released after Portugal conclude their tournament 😉
You're right we are in Quarter Finals now I hope we can go through to Final 🇹🇷🇹🇷
This is top level scouting right here.
Let's be more realistic. Injuries hampered us in defence and I think with these central defenders, the maximum goal that we can reach is to qualify the knockout phase. But still watching Turkey will be a fun for everyone.
Tournaments are definitely made enjoyable by the Balkan countries. The others have just gathered colonial Africans in their teams it's all about the system. To hell with your system. National matches are played with spirit; everyone is giving their all for their country. So Turkiye has great potential.
Not turkey, Türkiye!!!🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷
There is still a plenty for Türkiye to learn, ever match is an important experiance, we will have fun, but we are not haline high hopes.
if they beat one of the tourney favs Portugal , than they should be considered a dark horse. but that's going to be a difficult task as the Portuguese have historically always given the Turks a hard time.
True. My only hope is 54 years old Ronaldo. If they start with him we may have a chance
That is probobaly your iq@@MehmetKoseDev

Great video! Let’s beat Portugal tomorrow 🇹🇷
Good luck!
Yes sir!🇹🇷
Well well well
FerdI Kadioglu is also a beast.
It is interesting to see how one man (Vincenzo Montella) can change the course of a team. As a Turk, I really want to win this year. Especially in these hard times, a win would be a stick to hold before drowning.
This is historically accurate too. Turks always need a good leader to perform well. In war, in politics, in life as well as in football. Closest example would be the rise of CHP after replacing Kılıçdaroğlu with Özel.
Regardless, may the best team win!
we are facing portugal today, and theres an interesting fact that ronaldo has never scored against turkey's national team... we will see alot this match, may the best team win!
Not turkey, Türkiye!!!🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷
If turkey win against Portugal we can think about quarter or semi final or we play against France so it's difficult
Not turkey, Türkiye!!!🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷
France is not difficult,Netherlands is definitely better than them,they are so overrated and will get eliminated by Spain
The only problem I seen in the match with Georgia, is they gave the attackers too much space, and they kept wasting time during attack by passing back and not moving forward. Inşallah Turkiye wins this next match, I'm calling it a 2/3 win for Turkiye
Very nicely summed video but if we cant win against portugal, we will play against France or Netherlands. And they have both better squad than us. So i think it will be very difficult to reach quarterfinals
Great video! Official name of the country was changed to “Türkiye” and not “Turkey” anymore in English.
Didn’t know that, thanks brother!
Hopppaaaaaaa🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷
the next world cup Turkey will be feared to the bone.
After we lost yesterday its over 💔
I don´t think so... that own goal against Portugal hurt 😭🙄
I'm not sold on Turkey at all tbh. I think they're a good team but they are not top 4 material so far from what I've seen. I would say a true dark horse in my eyes are Netherlands, Belgium and Croatia. Netherlands because noone thinks they're going to get top 4 (but i think they have a very solid chance to do so), Belgium in a similar vain (especially since they lost to Slovakia) and Croatia too (since they tied Albania). Thing is Croatia and Belgium still played very good football in their games it's just unlucky for them end of the day.
How are these 3 teams darkhorses they literally cook everytime
@@Dadashov007 They're dark horses I think because the expectation is not that any of them will make it into the top 4, but I believe all 3 of them have very strong potential to. Croatia unfortunately probably not since they're at 1 point and Belgium can easily lose to Romania tomorrow but I have faith. These teams have been playing well is my point and they're being underestimated is my point.
Not turkey, Türkiye!!!🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷
@@1CuriosoEdits1 right yeah sorry, Turkiye.
First we have to win against Portugal and then we see how good the Turks are!
Currently 3-0 Portugal
We lost to portugal made big mistakes i dont think we going for long
Holy shit we are in quarter finals 🔥🔥
@@LMAOkapra yeeee
We just won one game against Georgia. Come on…
As much as I wish we would, I am almost certain that we won't. Turkey has always disappointed us since World Cup semi finals against brazil. Went downhill from there on. But these new young talents who have not even started with their carreer yet, might bring the needed flame back to our national team, and who knows. This team is much better then the one we had over the past decade for sure.

We lost 2-1 to netherlands today.Goodbye EURO2024...
lets go we will win this cup
Arda Güler is Not a hype like Cengiz under, we have a golden generation Right now, montella should not play with merih demiral or yusuf yazici.
True, Arda has much more mental strength and more talent than Cengiz Ünder. But the most important attribute he has unlike other players is him being down to earth.

No way. Sorry bros. You ain't Greek. You don't got what is needed to win this.

You have to have a solid defense to be a dark horse, i don't see it but i hope i am wrong
I saw Türkiye lose the final to France (just a dream)
Racism by UEFA and Germany towards the team and the fans supporting the team, 3 penalties not awarded in the Turkey-Netherlands match, that foul against Mert Müldür... Türkiye was not defeated because of its own failure,was defeated because of racism Because they are Turks, they cannot make their own symbol, the Gray Wolf sign. If they do, you will be given a 2-match penalty, but Ronaldo made a disrespectful move in league in arabia and got a match penalty Why did JB (Jude Bellingham) not receive a match penalty for making the move "LİKE" Ronaldo's one in such a tournament, which is a tournament as important as the European Championship, at least as much as the World Cup...? This would be unacceptable in such a championship. Because you are a tournament as important as the World Cup, you cannot accept such a thing. This shows why there is so much racism #BeFairUefa
As a turk, now i understand how it feels like getting cursed thanks to this guy.

But they lost against Austria in a friendly Game with 1:6. Don‘t think they are the Dark Horse this year.
They didn't lose. They let them win.
And they beated them 2-1 yesterday lol
Lmao Montella should be sacked for yielding into agents and lobbying... Arda not playing until 70, Baris Alper as a fucking striker (the only position this incredible player cannot play along with goalkeeping), not utilizing Mert Muldur after his incredible goal and performance, switching the goalkeeper from Cenk to Altay who hasn't played in a official game last year... the actual fuck is going on????
WE SCORED AGAINST HOLLAND ALREADY
2-1…
After Portugal we will laugh at this channel. And no one will take the channel serious anymore.
Count down started
Edit:
Haha 3:0 Portugal 😂
Right... OK, so I know it was a 3-1 win in the first game. The game itself was very entertaining and satisfying to watch, especially compared to other "big name" teams' games, which are generally dull and low energy (yes, I'm talking about you, "England the energy vampire"). However, you need to keep in mind the issues in Turkey's defence; that game could have easily been 3-3 or even a loss. I'm not saying Turkey won the game by luck, but we should not assume the rest of the games will be like that. The Portugal game will be a good example of what Turkey can achieve under higher pressure.
Can Turkey win the Euros? Yes, why not? Will Turkey win the Euros? Probably not, I wouldn't bet money on it.

Turkey has potential... but corruption is destroying it within inside. The president of the Turkish federation is a member of Galatasaray and is in a public war with Besiktas. He and Hamit Altintop (ex Galatasaray player) are influencing who is playing and who not, not the manager. That's why we have players like Baris Alper who played right back now play as a striker and has 0 goal contribution after four games in the Euro cup. While they have a wonder kid Semih Kilicsoy (Besiktas) and experienced striker like Cenk Tosun (Besiktas) on the bench. Now they are even experimenting with Arda Guler as striker instead of his right wing position and he is playing like a ghost. Another example is the substitute of the goalkeeper Mert Gonuk (Besiktas) after one game and the terrible performance of Altay brought back Mert in the goal.
Ah shut up with your lies already. Baris is extremely important to any team he plays in and everyone who knows a little bit about football understands that. Semih is just not ready for this stage. Be patient, his time will come. Hamit has no special sympathy to anybody, he just wants to do his job. Stop spreading fitne.
@@OneCashhow many goal contributions does your important player has so far? Only game he played well was against 🇨🇿 and that because they received a red card early and had to take risks. Look up his sofa score ratings. All expected goal and assist ratings are on the low end (0.13 expected goal and 0.01 expected assist).
Ps. CenkTosun scored one goal in 15 min….

@@OneCashrealize how stupid your reaction is, you are referring to one match during the season while we are talking about the European Championships with Turkey. Yesterday again Baris had the lowest score of the team, look it up. Abdulkerim had 6.2 and Baris 6.3. The last ten minutes when the trainer brought a real striker in you saw a huge difference in the game.
