Football Notes: Turkish Clubs Protest Trump's Jerusalem Decision

Turkish footballers and fans protested U.S. President Donald Trump's "controversial" recognition of Jerusalem as Israel's capital, "unfurling pro-Palestine banners at domestic football matches." Protests reportedly followed the Turkish Football Federation requesting all clubs playing in the Super League, 1st League, 2nd League and 3rd League "open Jerusalem banners while coming out on to the field for their matches this week." Prior to matches, teams held banners reading, "Jerusalem is our red line" (INSIDE WORLD FOOTBALL, 12/11).

The FA launched an investigation into the "ugly tunnel row that marred the Manchester derby at Old Trafford on Sunday," during which Man City coach Mikel Arteta "suffered a cut head" and "milk and water was thrown" toward ManU Manager José Mourinho. A "huge melee broke out" after ManU "reacted with displeasure" to what it felt were "excessive celebrations" from Man City's players and staff after the team's 2-1 win. The clubs were given until 6pm on Wednesday to respond to the FA (London TELEGRAPH, 12/11).

The Dutch league champion "will not get an automatic place in the Champions League group stage for the first time next season." Eredivisie champion Feyenoord finished at the bottom of its Champions League group and Vitesse Arnhem was at the bottom of its Europa League group this season (BBC, 12/8).
