Quarterfinals without respect

Beginning from Thursday and throughout Sunday the European championship quarterfinals will take place. But before the game starts it will not pay tribute to the Istanbul victims. Despite all the controversies that EURO is experiencing, UEFA has decided today that no minute silence will be held before the matches as those are reserved for tragedies 'related to football directly, or to one of the participating teams or host country'. Maybe the European football organization also forgot that Turkey too was one of the participating teams in this EURO 2016 edition.
On Tuesday night in the deadly terrorist attack at the Istanbul airport 41 people has died and 250 were injured.
