Outstanding observation, Musti. The media has a lot to do with it.. That’s why the commercials work as well.. subliminary! Good job in recognizing this. I see it in English, when I see the game (only on weekends) and have to assume that the American moderators are neutral. Hold it right here. I think those people have an accent. They might not be Americans. So much for neutral.

Hey Musti. Great post of yours, and agreed to most of it.
The problem with you last analysis though is, its both. Its both spirit, play, ambition, fighting and winning. But it also is money, advertisement, tactics and expensive names. It’s a big mix of all these incredients and that is why it is so successfull.

“Maybe now the big bosses of the football who think that this game consists of “money +advertisement+ tactics+expensive names” could see that the core of the football is “enjoy of play+ ambition+ will of winning +fighting until the last drop of sweat”
This is what’s all about for sure,money and fame and politics matters.you’re so right with your words.to tell the truth i started to watch this cup and thought that netherlands would win this,but then turkey woke up and start to play great.congratulations, with no doughts that was the best team of this euro,surely deserved the cup.life not always is fair.lets see the world cup.

Greetings from Turkey
I am an “always trying to be objective” turkish guy..Well i think the “unfairness” for both sides comes from the Tv commentary..Believe me first I watched the game in Turkish Tv,then read the articles about german commentary and at last I watched in Eurosport…Believe me u would believe it’S NOT a penalty(lahm’s and Sabri’s position), if u would watch in Turkish TV..I accept it’S a %100 penalty but u should also accept Busakka didn’T give Turkey’s penalty in Colin Kazım’s position after that..Actually I believe that after the not given penalty position of LahM’s&Sabri’S,the ref understood that he made a mistake..with his guilty-psychology,he always protected Germany after that position..
Anyway Congratulations Germany..For Turkey,it is already a big success for us..At least we could show the world that we never give up,and we changed the view of modern-football…Maybe now the big bosses of the football who think that this game consists of “money +advertisement+ tactics+expensive names” could see that the core of the football is “enjoy of play+ ambition+ will of winning +fighting until the last drop of sweat”.
Best Regards

We started to play and We were so good, I was so sure that We were gonna get this match. We deserved final more than Germany for sure, but Those 3 goals from Germany Its all Rustu’s and defenders fault. I cant believe They made such a stupid mistakes. Otherwise We could be the champ. But life goes on See U guys in World Cup.

true karl,the media are guilty in some part,but not totaly.people just believe in theire team,its normal to create big expectations…expectations so big that left them blind to see the reality.thats the problem in the whole world,and it happens to me too sometimes.thats why i like to watch this kind of tournaments, it doesn’t mean nothing to me expept watching the best sport of the worls,and even not being europen, i know that the best players of the world are european.all this to say that i’m not watching for my team benefficts, i can see what the europeans which the teams played in this tournament can’t see cause their too blind.its a petty, but no one except the turky who went to the semi-finals really deserved to go that far.
