I watched the game in one pub of Alanya
together with many Turkish supporters.
 
After that, we went out on the streets, 
which were full of people.
Ilhan Mansiz was the national hero 
in Turkey that day. 
This photo is taken from the official 
website of the World Cup 2002.  
Police was trying to open up traffic, but 
nothing. The buses with lot of tourists 
that just came had to wait in the middle 
of the chaos of the city, maybe this was 
an interesting beginning of their visit in Turkey.
The red flag color, Turkish music and 
cheering ' Türkyie', ' Türkyie ' together with 
fire-works and car hooters, dominated.
Even tourists went out of the beaches 
to experience this celebration in the town, 
which continued during all night.
The atmosphere was really celebrative! 
The victory against Senegal qualified 
Turkey for a first time in semifinal
