If you've been reading my blog, which I'd be surprised if you were, you would know that I just had my first real Turkish soccer ("football" from here on out) two nights ago. Well, during my short time in Turkey, I've developed a theory on how to make friends via football.
In case you're not aware, Turkey has three majorly popular teams:
 |
| Beşiktaş |
 |
Fenerbahçe
|
 |
| Galatasaray |
My theory/plan? I'm going to buy one jersey for each team, and wear them accordingly. Boom-- conversation starter as well as an instant way to get Turks to love me. It makes me appear as though I know a lot about Turkish football, which I don't, and that I care about whatever team's outcome (which I do, since I do in fact like watching soccer matches.) Apparently, Fenerbahçe are the Yankees of the world Turkish football and everyone likes them. So far, I like their uniforms the best, and that's what I'm basing my fandom on until I learn more. I'll report back on how well this plan works. Tonight, I try and conquer Galatasaray with my charming yabancı ways.
fenerbahce all the way, girl!
