True, but the idea that Turkey has always had some sort of consistently superior squad to the US isn't totally accurate, at least not since 1990 when the US side hasn't been total garbage.
The last game both played the US won, and the US is 2-1-1 against Turkey all time. The problem with international soccer is other than the World Cup there's no real stage to test the theories other than friendlies, which have their own sets of issues. At least Turkey gets the Euro Cup to compete in which gives them another good tournament, though they don't always seem to qualify for that one either.
