Turkish Season 2011-2012

[KUYT!]

So wait, is Fenerbahce part of Asian Istanbul, whilst Galatasaray is European Istanbul?

[bjkman1903]

No, it won't be played.

If Bursa wins the national cup, then Bursa to ELQ4, Besiktas to ELQ2
If Bursa loses the Cup final, then Besiktas to ELQ3, Bursa to ELQ4

I guess you mean Bursa in ELQ2, since Trabzon will be in ELQ4 when Fenerbahçe win the Cup.

Yes that's right

So wait, is Fenerbahce part of Asian Istanbul, whilst Galatasaray is European Istanbul?

yes..

locations of galatasaray (lycee de galatasaray, the cradle of the club) & fenerbahçe (historical and current stadium) and bosphorus between them



galatasaray is located in beyoğlu district, which is one of the three historical quarters of istanbul outside byzantine city walls. it's also artistic and cultural "capital" of istanbul. as it has always been a heavily urbanized area throughout history and there's no space for a stadium there, so galatasaray cant play in "galatasaray" neighborhood

fenerbahçe is located in kadıköy, which cant be considered as "istanbul" historically. it's part of the "new" istanbul. it's mostly made up of economically upper-class citizens, with thousands of active and retired high-ranked generals..

currently (and will probably for a loooong time) galatasaray plays their matches in seyrantepe (north of the map)

Foreigners in Süper Lig 2011-12, who played at least 1 match

Excluded from list:
-Players born abroad who don't fill foreigner player quota because of their ancestry (no matter if they play for Turkish NT or other NTs). Personally i count them foreigners too, but TFF doesn't.

Included in list:
-Players who hold dual X country/Turkish citizenship who once played as "full foreigner". They are included in the list even if they play(ed) for Turkish NT.

-For other players, i care about which NT they played (or opted to play) for no matter where they were born in.

-Super Lig statistics-only

-Note that 8 clubs played 6 more league matches than others: Beşiktaş, Bursa, Eskişehir, Fenerbahçe, Galatasaray, İstanbul Bş. Bld., Sivas, Trabzon
