Terrible. Turkey is a mess. And if/when they get into the EU and if/when we don't leave this is all coming to a ground near you. Some say they view leaving the EU as like watching a car crash in slow motion well I feel like staying is like watching a car crash in slow motion.

What a pathetic comment. This is a tragic event, there's no need to politicise it. Leave it for the daily mail comment sections.

Terrible news.

Thoughts and prayers are with those who are affect by this.

The news now coming in, is this was not ISIS but a Kurdish group that did this:

Also, as said, it sounds like this happened some time after the match but we can all read up on it ourselves. 2 bombs, a car bomb and then, a suicide bomber in a park.

Truly awful. 2016 has without doubt been one of the worst years in living memory. Thoughts and prayers to all effected.
