Congratulations Ordubaşı

Demiral used to be a beast. Now he’s just a passion merchant. Glad Montella picks the players based on their form and training performance.

Roughly two weeks after the devastating Latvia draw at home, Lazio deliberately conceded a last-minute goal to Sparta Prague so that Beşiktaş wouldn’t advance to the UCL RO16. That was even much more traumatising to me. Those soul-crushing moments have been preserved by Siyah Beyaz Arşiv in this link.

I’m not gonna get offended by obsessed people like you who feel the need to edit each of their comments.

Before you edited your comment, you had stated that Galatasaray beating Man United at Old Trafford was the first time a Turkish club won in England in 177 years.

You think you’re a smartass don’t you?

How many matches have Turkish teams played in England in those 177 years? Fifteen perhaps?

On the other hand, Man United pretty much plays in European competitions every year. So assuming that they play 10 European matches on average per season (five of which at home so 5 x 40 years), that’d result in United’s unbeaten streak getting broken after roughly 200 matches.

Am I reading what I think I’m reading? I know Turkish football specialises in shattering deep runs (the pinnacle being Fenerbahçe breaking Man United’s 40-year-long unbeaten streak at Old Trafford in European competitions in 1996), but this is absolutely mental.

When was the last time Croatia lost at home? Surely that must be something rare and exotic.
