BTW if you simply believe this decision is due to attacks then you're very optimistic. Chelsea was beaten at England and needs a win on Besiktas vs Chelsea :) Chelsea won or terrorism before the match played ?
Italy's support to a terrorist leader is well known. Nothing surprising there.

>And as if nothing happened on any matches played in England or Italy (Basel comes to mind) ? Why would you think something would happen in Istanbul ? Italian soldiers killed in Iraq so is Italy unsecure ? IRA killed English soldiers, was England considered to be unsecure ? Baider Meinhoff was in action in the past, which match was taken outside of Germany ? Which sports action was taken outside of USA after 9/11 ?
>And nothing happened against Turkish teams at matches they played outside Turkey like Leeds, Juventus, Milano, ... ? Why then UEFA decide not to play matches outside those countries ? What about 11 wounded Turks at Lazio by blades ? Now UEFA would take matches outside Italy ?
>Come on this is the first time ever in history UEFA has given such a shaming decision.

>>and if something happened at these matches what then? the violence at football matches in europe has not gone away, these would be, in most peoples opinion, prime targets for an attack, violence could easily be initiated and riots would not be too long behind.

>>>UEFA let the terrorism won !
>>>After 2 terrorist attacks in Istanbul, UEFA's decision about Galatasaray vs Juventus and Besiktas vs Chelsea to be played outside Turkey is nothing more than an encouring act to terrorism.
>>>Shame on UEFA
>>>PS: Chelsea Besiktas will beat you once again even if you escape to space.
>>>Juventus is only showing their ugly face once again as usual.
