Fans in Turkey fall silent after national team's defeat

There were no car horns, cheering fans or celebratory gun fire in Istanbul on Wednesday. Turkey's 3-2 loss to Germany in the European Championship semifinals saw to that. Turkey's largest city fell almost silent after a last-minute goal by Philipp Lahm ended Turkey's surprise run of comebacks and shock wins. Crowds that had gathered at major squares across the city dispersed quietly after the final whistle at the St. Jakob Park in Basel, Switzerland. [link]
