    USMNT fans in June are deeply concerned and emotional about the career choice of a player they found out about in May

    What? Too soon?

    I'd say if he didn't show up and bag a few goals out the gate, the obsession might be a tad less - but not a lot less.

    Everyone's just a little bit Boy Crazy..... I mean Boyd Crazy. Gotta love those summer crushes. Then by Fall he's gone, back to Europe ,and all we have is obscure language Twitter feeds and crappy streams to follow him :D

    @Dave Marino-Nachison knew about him before he put out his first album.

    I'm just sticking around to learn whether he's still part of the "Weet-Bix Crew."

    Super cool move. Would love to see him hit the ground running, what a whirlwind year for him!

    For all you Turkish speakers (or, readers, really)

    Description of Tyler Boyd, Shinji Kagawa and Marcelo from Besiktas football director Ali Naibi!

    All this Turkish hype about his signing reminds me of when Heath Pearce "signed" with Bursaspor, had his photo taken with Bursaspor officials at a presser, and then the next day...... yeah just kidding we f*** up we did not submit the paper work before the transfer window closed.

    Turkish clubs seem like they're run by rich frat boys coming off a weekend coke bender.

    I actually really like this move.

    I like diversity in our YA. Haven't had a reason to watch the Turkish league in awhile but it's different and exciting. Some of the derbies are insane.

    Boyd starting for Besiktas vs Fenerbahce or Galatasaray is going to make for a great Sat morning.

    I'm not sure it's that benign...

    These guys running with the Miami angle - since Beckham has to be biggest clickbait of all.

    Most reports are 1.5 million Euro to Besiktas.

    Seems like the Turks are running rampant on Twitter. I wonder if they do this for everything.

    It's also interesting since Boyd has said (way before this all started) that Beckham was his favorite player and one of the biggest inspirations as a kid.

    They do. When Larin went over I posted something about the contract with MLS and was swarmed

    this reminds me - if any of you can read and are looking for a summer memoir Pamuk's Istanbul is quite a bit about his childhood in Besiktas in more secular times. A pretty decent read if you have any interest in that sort of thing...
