Soccer Footbal Riot in Istanbul, Turkey 2008
The first 100 minutes of Turkey vs. Croatia in the 2008 EuroCup were terribly boring, cruising into overtime scoreless leaving Istanbul with a resting heart rate. With less than a minute to go, Croatia thought they nailed Turkey's coffin shut with a goal, but the Red Crescent Türkiye would not rest easy, scoring the tying goal with no time on the clock. After dominating in the penalty kicks, the city exploded into celebration; and we were fortunate to be at the epicenter of the human earthquake, Taxim Square.
