Even old New York was once New Amsterdam... Why they changed it, I can't say. People just liked it better that way?
So take me back to Constantinople
It's in Istanbul, not Constantinople
Been a long time gone from Constantinople
Why did Constantinople get the works?
That's nobody's business but the Turks.

Get the istanbulmug. The only place that "I feel home". Everybody wants to leave the known faces and known faces behind one day, and I can leave any face any place behind but Istanbul... it's my addiction.
And it's strange that people around the world is more likely to know the name of the city -Istanbul- more than the country Turkey.
It is like knowing Chicago and thinking that it's a state rather than a city of the state Illinois.
Yes, it used to be the capital of Turkey but back in the history it was shifted to Ankara which was a safer place geographically and strategically.

Get the istanbulmug. The most astonishing football match of all time. The UEFA Champions League Final on the 25th of May 2005, between AC Milan and Liverpool. With AC Milan obliterating Liverpool in the first half and leading 3-0, scouse heroes Carragher and Gerrard led a fightback that saw Liverpool draw level in six, crazy, second half minutes. The match went to extra time, in which Liverpool goalkeeper Dudek pulled of an incredible double save from star Milan striker Shevchenko to keep the Reds in the game. 3-3 after extra time and penalties beckoned, heroes to be crowned. Liverpool were 3-2 up with Andriy Shevchenko having to score to keep Milan in the game. Dudek saved and Liverpool were Champions of Europe for the fifth time, meaning they could keep the trophy.
