"TURKEY: WELCOME HOME!
ISTANBUL -- Turkey's stars received a heroes' welcome Thursday as they returned home after bowing out from Euro 2008 at the semifinals, but marking the tournament with their never-say-die performance. The players, led by coach Fatih Terim, nicknamed 'The Emperor', mounted a double-decker bus at Istanbul's Ataturk airport that took them to Taksim Square, in the heart of the city, for celebrations."
