A feeling of unbridled joy tinged with relief dominated the Turkish Diaspora Soccer team after they captured a big 3-1 victory against Tanzania Diaspora team at the Roy Lester Stadium in Rockville, MD. Coach Oguz of Turkey made it clear this was just the start of a new era. Indeed, it is notable that Turkey's first strong and decisive win for the 2013 Diaspora World Cup came with new blood and youngest squad. The number 10 Baris Safoglu, son of Turkish coach Oguz Safoglu is regarded by many football critics and journalists as on the best midfielder in the area. He now has one goal in mind. To be the 2013 Diaspora World Cup best player.
For those who remembered in the past season of the Diaspora World Cup, Turkey played like a team lacking leadership and an appropriate, coherent plan throughout an ugly and bitterly 3-1 loss to Senegal at the Ridge Park Stadium when they failed to qualify for the knockout stage. It wasn’t the defeat itself that proved so troubling. It was the manner in which the Turks capitulated. The final score flattered a squad that spent the majority of the afternoon on its heels, devoid of the energy, possession and ideas Oguz intended to deliver. But, make No Mistake about it. This year is different. The game is on. The Diaspora World Cup group games are in full swing. The Diaspora Turkish team will perform feats.
