They say no minutes silence for the terrorist attack at Istanbul airport as it was no "football related". Although Turkey was taking part before being knocked out. After Paris there were marches, silences etc. Think they should observe this as said before Turkey was in the knock out rounds.

It really winds me up that there is such an anti-turkish sentiment in the Western Countries. I don't know how representative it is of the UK population but the Daily Mail readers seem to think that Turkish is like Dubai or Saudi Arabia or something, it really blows my mind...

Irrespective of their feelings for Turkey there are people from many nations dead and injured just shows the football mentality.
