This little ditty has been stuck in my head since about 10:15pm this evening... you may be familiar with it: It is a popular song circa 1977 by Queen. As one of their most famous and popular songs, it has since become an anthem for sporting victories!
"We are the champions-my friends. We'll keep on fighting to the end... " And so it goes.. But this is the synopsis that led to the continuous singing of this song in my head.
4 TEAMS
2 GAMES
1 CHAMPION
Bursa has their own team and has been on the road to winning the championship all season long! Well tonight was the night. There were two possible scenarios that would leave Bursa the champion...
1. Bursa would be Beşiktaş (besheektash) and Fenerbaçhe (fehnerbache) would loose to Trabzonspor
2. Bursa would be Beşiktaş (besheektash) and Fenerbaçhe (fehnerbache) would tie to Trabzonspor.
Around 10:15pm I began to hear constant honking and thought... "I wondering if the Bursaspor game is over" About 2 seconds later, I got a text message from my friend and she said, congratulations! Bursa won! Go celebrate! So I knew the had beaten Beşiktaş but I had yet to learn the score of the Fenerbaçhe vs Trabzonspor game. Arond 10:30 another message came that said Fenerbahçe had tied.. which left Bursa the winner!
I'm so proud of my city! Small but mighty! Out of the main and most popular teams in Turkey Bursaspor is small but growing in popularity and skill! So excited to be here tonight!
Though as I sit here at 11:47pm and still hear the blaring horns. I do hope they stop soon so I can get some rest!
