Turkey Germany Euro 2008 semi final

I’m about to head out to the train station to go to Basel to watch the Turkey – Germany semi final match. Having had the fortune to watch the Czech game in Geneva, I’m excited that I’ll be in the match regardless of the outcome.  I’ll also be meeting with two friends from University which adds to the fun!

Football is dominating the agenda in Turkey these days, which would be fine, if only really important issues were not overshadowed. Never mind judicial coup attempt that threatens the country’s future, never mind military abandoning its principle to meddle into politics and risk damaging its credibility irreversibly.

I hope we win tonight, but there are other areas where we should compete.
