might also be due to the fact that Turks are simply - really mad about soccer :)! I lived couple years in Istanbul, and was amazed by how Turks are obsessed with soccer overall.

It seems odd that a country of that size with a huge love for the sport, misses so many of the final stages of the World Cup / European championship.

"Soccernomics" author predicted Turkey becoming much better at soccer competitions for those and other reasons, it hasn't materialized yet though.

Yeah, but they did finish third at the 2002 World Cup and third at Euro 2008; not bad at all.
