Amazing Turkey manages to tie Croatia on a last second goal – then win the penalty shootouts.
How many times do we see a last second goal in football? Not many. Today was one of these days, and Turkey managed to do miracles again. But let’s start from the beginning. I went to watch Turkey vs. Croatia on a very popular football bar here in NYC. As I found my corner spot [...]
