Lessons in geography etc.

guardianA Champions League football report said yesterday: “As Liverpool seized a two-goal lead inside 28 minutes, we were back in the remote moonscape of the Ataturk Olympic Stadium to the west of Turkey’s capital, an unlikely setting for a magical transformation” (Defiant Liverpool shine a light in the dark of sorrow, page 2 and 3, Sport). Magical indeed, as a reader noted, as Ankara is Turkey’s capital, not Istanbul where the stadium is. Link

    Well, for what it's worth, the stadium is in fact to the west of Turkey's capital... maybe 300 miles or so, but maybe that's splitting hairs.
