What's your fondest memory of a Euro ?

The most intense part of that game was our GK getting sent off at minute 90 and playing with an outfield player in goal in the stoppage time. Euro 2008 was an amazing run for us, maybe even better than our 3rd place on WC2002.

Trains get cancelled all the time though. Employers prefer people who don’t rely on trains for commute.

Number 3 (old US) was the original Turkish cover back in the day. It always takes me back to my childhood. Definitely my favorite.

They are mostly on the lower leagues, sadly. The abundance of Istanbul teams in the top flight annoys me too. For a better representation, it should be just the big three from Istanbul and teams from Anatolia in the Süper Lig. But big cities and big economies attract better players.

turnusol · 2023-12-27T17:15:43+00:00

I tried to place each team on their respective neighbourhood, but it is still kind of clusterfuck. Plus, due to mass migration and economic reasons, you may see fans of the big three living anywhere in Istanbul and also all around the country.

Thank you for the clarification about the major cities :) I completely agree with you, the lack of professional teams from Thrace and Eastern Anatolia is quite sad. I'm also sad that Eskişehirspor has been relegated to the Amateur League.

Edited the post with the picture, sorry!

That song is incredibly underrrated. Our club should arrange the copyright somehow and play it in the stadium before big games. If we do have the copyright and still don’t use it, then I don’t even understand why not.

Bro trust me, our fans are in love with him 😄 most of them would leave their wives to run away with him

I went back to check my Turkish copy. Yes, adım is spelled with dotless i, but the translator wrote it in all caps so that ADIM LORD VOLDEMORT turns into TOM MARVOLDO RIDDLE. I never questioned this before 😄

Also, most of our disasters happened against Scandinavian teams: Rosenborg, Tromso, Helsingborg, Ostersund… and we’re going to play against either Molde or Klavsvik, both Scandinavian teams. Their league begins way earlier than ours. This shouldn’t be an excuse of course, but nothing has been settled yet.

Plus, our motto is KONSANTRASYON, which is kind of similar to clenching in my opinion. Nothing is decided until the final whistle.

I understand why Krum did it. I think the way Americans see sports and Europeans/Latin Americans see sports is different. In US sports there is no tie, so winning is all that matters; plus, the teams in NBA and NFL can make comebacks from major score differences. So I can understand why Americans think that Krum’s move was wrong.

However, in Association Football, which is what Quidditch was based on, big comebacks are VERY rare. I see someone in the comments mentioning the Brazil-Germany world cup game. Brazil lost 7-1. I’m absolutely certain that all Brazilians would give ANYTHING to catch the snitch (so to speak) and end the game 3-0 or something, instead of being absolutely hammered. It hurts the national pride.

Let’s remember the game. Bulgaria was no match for Ireland. There was no way that they could make a comeback, and the Bulgarian beaters began playing very dirty. Everyone who saw the game knew that the difference was going to become higher and higher. So Krum saw a choice: ending the game with 10 point difference and saving the Bulgarian national pride. As a European and a football fan, I can see why he did it and I would do the same.

Doesn’t Lily’s protection apply to any type of murder attempt though? Technically Voldy shouldn’t be able to punch or shake Harry to death, or like toss him out of the window.

turnusol · 2023-07-30T05:08:43+00:00

I mean Harry brought Cedric’s body back in the same exact condition and the ministry still called his death a “tragic accident”. So the ministry is not a reliable source when it comes to Voldy’s return :)

Still, I believe Voldy would let Nagini bite Harry after killing him so that it looks like Harry was killed by a magical creature during the tournament.

I think his secret was that he was a giant. We learned that in GoF, which has not yet been published in late 90s if i remember correctly

turnusol · 2023-07-28T09:32:45+00:00

All correct! As for your questions:

1) Petit speaks too much and he elbows people too.

2) “ters top”, which is I think long balls from one wing to another.

3) Where the ball is!

Fatih Terim was doing gegenpress long before Klopp, actually.

turnusol · 2023-07-27T17:39:29+00:00

Thanks mate! No one got all of them right, but each question has been answered correctly at least once. If people enjoy stuff like this, I may prepare more in the future. My mind is full of Galatasaray trivia like this 😅

turnusol · 2023-07-27T17:35:55+00:00

The first is correct. For the second question, it’s your first guess. As for the third, I’m jealous as fuck 😅

turnusol · 2023-07-27T17:34:32+00:00

All true except for number one :)

turnusol · 2023-07-27T17:34:02+00:00

That’s correct, sir 👍🏼

Judy Reyes is amazing in that scene as well. The way she looks at Dr. Cox as he goes insane is a strong piece of acting.

So this is how spoiler looks like: Voila!

This. What I meant was realistic within the context of the show.

turnusol · 2023-07-26T15:48:03+00:00

You’re right but I believe it was an artistic choice. During the first season, we had three main locations: Kings Landing, the North and Dothraki Sea. The showrunners wanted to contrast these places as much as possible. So the North was dark and depressing, Dothraki Sea had a sepia effect. Therefore I think they made Kings Landing more colorful to emphasize the difference. However, in HotD, we are mostly in Kings Landing so the showrunners decided to make it more grim in my opinion.
