Turkey Upset Over Disrespect

Turkey are upset after their players were subjected to a lengthy customs search on arrival in Iceland for a Euro 2020 qualifying match, a search which took over an hour to complete. Added to that when players were being interviewed a reporter thrust a scrubbing brush in amongst the microphones. Iceland claim it took 1 hour and 23 minutes for the team to pass through customs, but Besiktas striker Burak Yilmaz has been quoted at saying it was a 3 hour hold.
