Since the Milli Takim (national team) just qualified for the quarterfinals of Euro 2008 by beating the Czechs, I think we may eat in for a moment and I ask: WHO inform the "press" French sports the Turks are not "Ottoman" ? Their team was a no circumstance "training Ottoman" (Janissary ???). L'Equipe and Football365 yet seem convinced that the Ottoman Empire and the term still applies perfectly to Turkish citizens.
It mocks the poor yet Thierry Roland, who courageously continues to call the Russians "the Soviets," the Czechs "Tchéquoslovaques" and the Serbs "Yougolsaves" in his few moments of inattention. Let him through, he knew (yes, well, me too) or the time these words were used. But besides that I very much doubt that the Ottoman Empire has ever had a national team (I would be delighted and fascinated to be proven wrong), it is unlikely that our friends in the press have never seen the football evolve appropriate. I imagine the fuss
if moribund team from France was appointed "training Capetian " (Bourbon, Valois, whatever) by the foreign press. Lilian Thuram, the "Captain Capetian" good laugh. It is too bad that the Austro-Hungarian have been eliminated, but the Prussian still seems to qualify.
