'Nothing is impossible but miracles take time' - Turkey coach Fatih Terim.

In European and World Soccer, Turkey has been making rapid progress. In little over a decade, be it in the European Champions League, UEFA Cup, Euro Football or the World Cup Football, Turkish footballers have tasted remarkable success. Football giants like Galatasaray, Fenerbahçe and other Turkish clubs attract footballers and coaches from around the world.

The Turks have also carved out a huge fan base all over Europe and elsewhere. If one travels around major cities in Portugal, Spain, Italy, Greece, France, Switzerland, Austria, Belgium, Holland, Germany, UK, Norway, Sweden, Denmark and even in tiny Luxembourg, one can easily find Turkish restaurants serving Turkish delicacies.

Eating places carrying names such as Izmir, Istanbul, Antalya, Ankara, Bodrum and others keep on popularising Sis kebabs, doner kebabs, kofte, pilavs, borek, dolmas and mouth-watering helvas and desserts.

With football and cuisine as some of their effective weapons, the Turks are nicely getting themselves integrated as industrious and honorable citizens of the larger world. Was it not said by some one, that the best way to get to some one's heart is through the stomach ? Turkish football is further an icing.

Congratulations to Turkey for making the semis.
