I know this is a strong reaction, but after reading several different reports about what happened in Turkey after the Swiss players started to leave the pitch and watching video of it as Turkish personnel tried to interfere with the players leaving, I would actually be all for banning Turkey from ANY international play for YEARS. Did anybody else read what one of the Turkish players wrote about being embarrbutted that the news was being so proliferated and garnering such attention?
*** Turkey's Hamit Altintop, a Kaiserslautern player who also featured in the match, told Bild it was painful to know the world was talking about the incident. "You need to know we have a very different mentality. We are more emotional when we lose. We cannot lose," he was quoted by the paper as saying. ***
What a f***ing load of bollocks!
Now it appears that the Swiss player who kicked out (stupidly) at the Turkish coach who was trying to trip the Swiss players as they left the pitch (saw this on video myself) has received hundreds of threats and calls for violence not only against him but HIS FAMILY.
f*** Turkish football, bunch of cowardly poos. I hope they ban Turkey from the next World Cup and any FIFA sanctioned event.
WTH
