Aftermath

Hmm, sounds like there was a bit of trouble surrounding last night's Switzerland-Turkey match. I'm sure that will do wonders for Swiss-Turkish relations (there is a fairly sizeable Turkish population in Switzerland, and my sense is that there is sometimes a bit of tension between the two communities). The front page of one of the local papers this morning even had a headline about how "Basel police calmed frustrated Turks"...

(The nice thing is that even though Norway was eliminated, their color is red like Switzerland, so I can wear my jersey and pretend I'm a Swiss fan this summer. Now I just need to find a way to get World Cup tickets...)
