From Turkey to Hungary, the teams who were eliminated have been met by contrasting reviews back home
This week Euro 2020 bade farewell to eight of the 24 countries who had qualified and the eliminated teams were met by quite contrasting headlines back home. As in every tournament there were those who had exceeded expectations and those who had fallen way below them
One of the dark horses of the tournament, Turkey, had a horrible experience and were dumped out after three straight defeats. The press did not hold back. The sports newspaper Fanatik led with the headline “The End” and wrote that the “Turkish wall crumbled”. Another sports newspaper Fotomac kept it simple: “Disgrace” while in his Fanatik column, Mehmet Demirkol wrote: “The zero [points] we watched do not even deserve a zero. We witnessed a managerial disaster class.”
