Small possibility, but I don't think so. I have the likes of Belgium and Germany ahead of them. Although in saying that, Turkey is now ranked 13 in the world so their improvement in the rankings has been impressive.

Well, Greece and Denmark have won, so anything is possible.
Hopefully, any country other than Spain will win, since their football is effective but hideously boring to watch. International soccer was a much better spectacle when the Barca and Real players beat each other up in the rooms before the game. |

I drew Germany in a sweep. 20-1 about a 13-4 chance. As Homer would say "I like those odds". _________________ Annoying opposition supporters since 1967. |

My first reaction was no way but then Greece did it so I guess anything is possible. _________________ kill for collingwood! |

This is looking a little less likely after a 0:1 loss to Croatia in Turkey's first group game. |

Don't think it was undisciplined play but simply, beaten by a better side. _________________ kill for collingwood! |

After 2 of the 3 rounds of group games, Turkey has no points and is last in Group D. The standings are Spain 6, Croatia 4, Czech Republic 1 and Turkey 0. In the remaining games, Spain play Croatia and the Czech Republic and Turkey will meet to decide who comes last in the group.
The Turkish fans apparently jeered their captain in this morning's match. That's generally not a good sign. |

Absolutely gone.
All I've heard is how they are a real chance for weeks. Theyve all put a few quid on them and I didnt because, well I dont really gamble, but I just thought they wont get out the group stage. _________________ A Goal Saved Is 2 Goals Earned! |

In answer to the question posed by the OP, probably not, no. They've been eliminated from the tournament. |
