I think you may be right.
Hakan Sukur was the top scorer of the 98' World Cup, the tournament where Turkey won bronze medal at.
Ozil is originally Turkish too.
Edit: it was davor suker (for some reason I always mix suker and Sukur lol), and the tournament they finished 3rd at was in 2002 lol. Regardless, Sukur was still a very good player.Last edited by Szef; 11-19-2017, 01:15 PM.

I think boxing was banned in Turkey for 30 some years
Traditional Wrestling and olympic Wrestling or kickboxing are more popular combat sports over there
They don't have the experience nor the system like Former communist countries US or UK

I did however read that Turkey has banned T.V. dating shows, Minecraft, and parts of the internet
