I lived in Turkey for the most of my life and I have never heard a more accurate analysis of the situation in terms of football and politics. Turkish tend to see things from their own point of views not objectively so no one actually knows what is going on. Thank you Tifo for another great video.

As a follower of Turkish football for a long time and living it. This was so well researched and incredibly accurate.

Hey Tifo, great video. Just one or two updates necessary. Yıldırım Demirören is no longer the president of the Turkish Football Federation as he bought the only legal sports betting regulator in Turkey. All of the betting sites have to use Iddaa's odds and whatnot and since he bought that company, he decided to quit his job at the Federation. Demirören also owns a news agency which he bought recently, with loans from the government. That news agency used to serve as an opposition to Erdoğan's huge media backing. Doğan News Agency became Demirören News Agency. Secondly, Başakşehir's standings in the current season require mentioning. They're top of the league with 8 matches left and 6 points between them and the second placed Galatasaray. Erdoğan recently boasted about Başakşehir's success and how it was a club built by him personally.

Aynı şey Atatürk’ü eleştiren Batı kaynaklı çizimlerde de var. Sarışın ama esmer ten. İçlerindeki kaybolmayan ırkçılık böyle ortaya çıkıyor işte. Daha Orta Doğulu bir tablo çizmeye çalışıyorlar.

Kubilai A Evet ülkenin public policy’si ve kültür politikalarının büyük bir etkisi var bunu inkar edemem. Ama bunun tamamen bizden kaynaklı olduğunu da düşünmüyorum. Bana kalırsa Türkiye hiçbir zaman dışarıdan doğru yorumlanabilen bir ülke değil. Konuyu açmam gerekirse 19.yy’daki Avrupalı sosyal bilimcilerin empoze etmeye çalıştığı şeyler bile bunu kanıtlar nitelikte. Türklerin göçebe bir toplum olduğundan “civilized” bir dil konuşmadığı dolayısıyla Türkçenin indo-european bir dil olamayacağından tutun Türklerin sarı ırk olmasına kadar. Araplarda bile bir potansiyel görmüşler ama Türklerde assla. Evet bir Altay dili konuşuyoruz ancak bunlar o zaman bilimsel araştırma yaparak edinilen çıkarımlar değildi. Dahası bir dili uygar yapan şey nedir? Tamamen yanlı ve kibirli yorumlar. Türklerin sarı ırk olmasını geçtim, sarı ırk veya beyaz ırk gibi tanımlamaların bilimsel olmasına imkan yok. Sonra zaten Naziler’in yaptıklarıyla kendilerine geldiler de bu ırkçı kafadan kurtuldular, ya da gömdüler. Şimdi Türkleri böyle abartılı brown çizmelerinin de nedenini Türkler hakkında böyle bir tablo çizmek istemelerine bağlıyorum. “Deveye biniyor musunuz?” Sorusunun taşıdığı motivasyonla aynı. Gerçeği bilmelerine rağmen kabullenemiyorlar. Tarihsel kin tamamen. Taa cumhuriyetten önce Avrupalı bir ressam (Benjamin Constant) tarafından oryantalizmin dibine vurularak Fatih Sultan Mehmet’in İstanbul’u fethedişinin bir Arap komutan edasıyla (tenler fazlasıyla kavruk ve kıyafetler Osmanlıyı değil bir Arap ülkesini andırır biçimde) çizilmesi ile aynı kafa. Bunun yıkılması da şuanki hükümet ile çok zor.

9:15 in addition to this punishment, in 2014 the metro station which allows the fans of Galatasaray to arive to the stadium was unable to use due to its restoration. It took one year to restore that. During its restoration time, it was so hard to arrive there. 9:49 passolig cards are linked with a bank whose its owner is so close to Erdogan. So that bank gets revenue from football fans easily and make them their clients.

Nice Video, can you maybe make a video on Arsene Wenger's stint on Monaco as well as J League?

Great journalism lies in this story. It is really satisfying as a turkish because it is much better covered than turkish journalist did before. Thank you.

This video is open to misunderstandings due to not knowing Turkey's realities. In Turkey, none of the clubs, even the top 3, can't stay on their feet without government or munipilaty's help. It has always been like that in Turkey. Galatasaray, Fenerbahçe, Beşiktaş had their tax debts erasen by government many times to this day. Turkish governemnts, whether it is Conservatist or Leftist, took much less tax from footballers compared to many other European leagues to provide Turkish teams an edge over European counterparts. Nearly all of the stadiums in Turkey have been built by government. So it's not a new thing in Turkey. Football fan organizations, such as Fenerbahce's or Besiktas's fan clubs directly have joined to political movements against Erdogan in 2013. In Turkey, sports and politics have always been connected to each other. Old goverments had solely focused on getting Fenerbahçe's president on their side while AKP doesn't interfere with presidents or top 3 clubs but a little bit supporting another Istanbul team, Basaksehir, which still have way lower budget compared to big 3. It is big 3's stupidity of squad building and team management to let Basaksehir become better than them, not the goverment's mediocre help. In Spain, Italy and many other countries, the situation is same. Politics are interfering with football. also Spanish governments supported Madrid over Barcelona for many years. In Italy, Milan has been boosted by Berlusconi.

Fantastic as always

This was insanely objective and I congratulate you. We should mention that although these stadium constructions did help economic growth, it'll help Turkish football in the international stance. In 2010, Turkey lost the race to host 2016 European Championship to France by 1 vote! The president of UEFA at the time was Michel Platini. These stadiums will help host Euro and perhaps World Cup competitions which was a dream prior to these developments

I wish politics had nothing to do with football and I know Basaksehir is gonna get sold most likely. But people should not forget that the Turkish government tried to help all of their clubs in the last 10-15 years, especially those with larger fanbases. They gave them money and modern stadiums. For them to now point at Basaksehir is a little hypocritical and unfair.

It would be really cool for you guys to do a video on the rise of women's soccer, or maybe something on the US women's soccer team, since that's definitely been the more popular team for years and they're currently suing the US Soccer Federation. I'm not an expert, but I definitely think that there are probably some really interesting intuitions to be shared from that, and knowing how amazing you guys are at turning seemingly trite topics into full-scale, super-entertaining biopics, I think that would be really cool.

The Turkish Football League and television do not show the head goal scored by our own president, perhaps 1 time .Wrong you have to tell.Yes, the president loves football and even supports the club in the financial sense, but there is a fact that the Shuda..there is no obligation to love that team because no one has loved a team of the president, nor does it belong to that team.Galatasaray Besiktas Fenerbahce Trabzonspor Sivasspor and so on.they support their team wholeheartedly.Even though there is a huge support for our president in politics, this is not reflected in football as much as you say. it can be called.There is already a very big championship competition in our league.People talk about it or even discuss it.Hold on to referee errors is also dominated by this chatter on the streets, from the ability to the quality to the performance of footballers.

Is it a High School or a college? Can it be both?
