The language of Football

If you speak no Turkish and your taxi driver speaks no English, it is still possible to have a full conversation through the international language of Football.

Conversation structure:
Step 1 - Establish destination.
Step 2 - Taxi driver asks your nationality.
Step 3 - If your answer is English, Spanish, Italian, German or possibly French (and you are male) proceed to step 4. All others must now enter a broken-English conversation about how much you like Istanbul.
Step 4 - Establish each other's football team of choice.
Step 5 - Take turns to name a player from each others' football teams or memorable achievements of said team. *
Step 6 - Smile and nod.
Step 7 - Repeat steps 5 and 6 until destination.

*Points:
Correctly naming a current player from the other conversationalists' team = 1 points.
Naming a player from a different team by mistake = minus 1 point.
Naming a player from your own team that the other conversationalist recognises = 1 point.
Naming a player who has played for both teams = 3 points.
Naming a legendary player from the other conversationalists' team = 2 points.
Naming an ex-player from the other conversationalists' team who the fans now despise = minus 2 points.
Naming a famous achievement of the other conversationalists' team = 2 points.
Informing the other conversationalist that you like their team = 2 points.
Informing the other conversationalist that you hate their teams' arch local rivals = 4 points + potential high-five.

Notes:
 - Finally, years of playing Pro-Evo and Championship Manager have some use.
 - Conversation length depends greatly on your knowledge of Turkish football teams and their players and how famous your own team is. Dagenham and Redbridge fans can expect a very one-sided conversation after step 4.
 - Americans; rules may apply to basketball. I don't know, try it.
 - Scottish, Irish, Northern Irish; taxi driver may assume this means British, and therefore English. Sorry.
 - Women; taxi driver is unlikely to attempt this conversation, but you receive a bonus 2 points to begin with just for attempting to start the conversation.
