I am not very much into football, but that match was hilarious. There was a 30 min extension (120 mins in total!), and it was used to its last minute only to end with Turkey's goal. I think that was the peak point of Turkey's national success in football.<br /><br />Some random facts:<br />Alex once thought Turkey wouldn't have much milk products/dairy because of all the desert land, and he used to drink non-fat milk because it was the cheapest. In contrary, Turks were nomads until a thousand years ago when they settled in Anatolia, and until then all they had was the animals which could travel with them. That caused a dairy-based diet, which still partly lives on mixed with Mediterranean habits. In fact, these nomad communities lived on until only a few decades ago when they almost diminished due to hatred from settlers.Görkem PAÇACIhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17727893902496568826noreply@blogger.com
