> > My husband and son are Gala fans; I am on the enemy side (Fener) which you probably have not heard about. Gala (Galatasaray) is the only really internationally competent team in this country. Their technical director is local and very good. One of its players, Hakan, is a top rated offence player in Europe. Unfortunately his emotional condition prevents him from actualizing his potential. He is withdrawn and oscillates between moods. I think he is a 6 because he also carries doubts about the intentions of his club management during transfer periods. He is led by his father mostly. Could I be right about typing him?
> I'd say you're probably right. Being "led" by his father is a pretty good clue of a Six personality. I've heard of Fenerbahce but don't know much about them. Galatasaray is always the team in the Champions League, and all I know about them is that their fans are intensely loyal, threw stuff at Manchester Utd. players a few years ago and that they post promises of victory all over the rec.sport.soccer board before every big European game they play, which they then eventually lose. Could this be indicative of a Six personality as well? :)

Yes, the mentality is 6. Being over confident, then losing the game, then blaming the referees, so on. Galatasaray once had an American goalkeeper- Friedel. He had to leave soon because the local players formed a clique against him and other foreign players. He went to England I think. Now Taffarel (from the Brazilian national team) is the goalkeeper. He is very good but quite upset recently because of the recent earthquake. His family has quit living in the apartment and wants to return to Brazil. He has started to make unacceptable mistakes; that is why GS lost to Chelsea.
Anyway, the attitude of the local players have changed drastically in the past years; they have come to accept the foreigners much more readily.
