This is the epitome of the Turkish way.   Lounge around for a while.  Develop some good excuses for why it can’t happen.   Then at the last minute work incredibly hard and accomplish the seemingly impossible.

These players acted out their country’s temperament to perfection, which of course made for a hugely exciting roller-coaster-of-emotion game.  Congratulations Türkiye, I can’t wait to watch the quarterfinals.
