#4 A distasteful scene
The world has seen many a deplorable act when people become frustrated with their own country. Whilst some envisage Donald Trump to become their president, others boo their own footballing nation on the pitch. Thankfully, for us, it was the latter of the two.
As much as these big tournaments are about the big guns strutting their stuff out for the World to see, it’s also about those fairytale moments. The moments where against all odds the so called “minnows” of the footballing world conjure up every ounce of their courage and spirit to eke out a result. And this tournament hasn’t been any different. The two Irish teams along with the likes of Albania and Iceland have again given us the reason for romance with the beautiful.
Sadly, for the Turkish supporters, their team was a horror show both in terms of footballing ability and mustering the courage to fight for the cause. That culminated in a fierce backlash from their own fans and deservedly so.
The Turkish captain Ardan Turan, himself, followed one stinker of a display with another and there was hardly anyone left for the others to look up to. Fateh Terim’s men are yet to find the back of the net and lie in the deep trenches of Group D. It won’t be a surprise at all if they end up there.
