Plus, what has American soccer done to improve how it treats its potential future stars? All that and much more!

Weekend Review: Leverkusen's historic title and Man City take Premier League pole position!

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.
