ASotD 6/11: Arda Turan

Today's Absolute Stunner comes from rainy Basel.  Down a goal, with the pitch in remarkably poor condition, Turkish hopes at a win looked as doomed as their accession to the European Union.   Suddenly, Senturk finished with a towering header off "the cross of the tournament"* from Nihat and the Turks were back in the thick of things.  Finally, this deflected strike from Arda in the 92nd minute finished the comeback for the Turks.  Huge matchup coming up on Sunday between the Turks and Czechs with qualification for the knockout stage on the line.  Turkiye!!

Sidenote:  I really like these Turk-quoise uniforms that Turkey's been wearing.  Flashy stuff.
