The Big Thing: Chaos and drama in Turkish soccer Apr 12, 2024

Show notes

Turkish soccer, which isn't exactly renowned for its serenity, hit headlines this week when Fenerbahce fielded an U19 team in the Turkish Super Cup against fierce rivals Galatasaray... before withdrawing the team from the field entirely.

This comes after Fener threatened to leave the Süper Lig, in a season that has been characterized by violence and controversial incidents.

On this week's Big Thing, the TSS crew survey the world of Turkish soccer, using the insight of former Istanbul resident Taylor Rockwell to gain some historical perspective on the current troubles.

The Big Thing: taking a longer look at the impending managerial carousel Apr 05, 2024

What a strange offseason it's about to be! Liverpool, Bayern Munich, and theoretically Barcelona are all expected to be without managers at the end of the season, and multiple other clubs could quickly find themselves in similar situations.
