Simply Futbol has partnered up with our World Football Daily sister show, Turkish Football Weekly. From here on out, you can enjoy the latest news and talk about the Turkish league with Ata and Jeremy as well as some of the best pundits on the subject.
=================
This week on Turkish Football Weekly, Ata and Jeremy have a lot of their plate. Week 24 results of the Turkish Super League are reviewed. This includes a discussion of the last Istanbul big three derby held at the historic Inonu Stadium, before it is torn down after this season. With the 2nd leg of the UEFA Champions league round of 16 between Schalke and Galatasaray on the horizon, Ata talks with goal.com Bundesliga writer Enis Koylu (Twitter: @eniskoylu) to preview the second leg. The discussion with Enis also include a discussion of a recent article on goal.com concerning where Galatasaray’s money is coming from (which you can find here).
The 1st leg of the Europa League round of 16 tie between Viktoria Plzen and Fenerbahce is reviewed. News this week concerns Bursaspor losing a key forward to injury, a coaching change, Akhisar Belediyespor getting sanctioned, and Fenerbahce’s complaint about the TFF’s Central Referee Board’s selection of referees. As it pertains to referees, there’s a discussion as to Cuneyt Cakir’s performance in the Champions League this week, and where Besiktas-Fenerbahce derby referee Mete Kalkavan will be refereeing this weekend (and one would never expect the answer).
