When your team breaks your heart- Antalyaspor 1-0 Galatasaray

By: Musab | Comments 2 Comments

Tomorrow Trabzon heads to Besiktas and Sivas travels to Bursa. Both matches might very well result in our opponents dropping points. All we had to do was go and defeat newly promoted Antalyaspor. And yet they couldn’t even manage that.
I’ll put it as simply as I can. We played football, we missed, they scored. Nothing [...]

An improvement of sorts: Kocaelispor 1-4 Galatasaray

By: Musab | Comments 2 Comments

Almost everyone agreed that Galatasaray did not play as well as they should have against Bellinzona. As a result, Skibbe and his boys had something to prove on Sunday. The city of Kocaeli is a mere 1 hour drive from the city of Istanbul, so it can be considered an “Istanbul team” in a way. [...]

Watching Galatasaray is just asking for a heart attack- Bellinzona 3-4 Galatasaray

By: Musab | Comments 2 Comments

Since I had class, I coldnt watch this match live, but I was able to watch it afterwards. Good thing I didn’t watch it live. It was a classic Galatasaray “heart in your throat” match.
