Turkey is by far more technically proficient/skilled. It was just a classic smash and grab. Irankunda looked pretty scary when countering, super fast.


That’s where I’m worried. I’m confident Richards can contain him but imagine if he catches Ream in isolation a few times.

If they play him on the left again he’ll be up against Freeman not Ream. Also the Turkey defenders weren’t straight up just outrun by Irankunda, a lot of the issues was the second defender overrunning the play and letting him cut inside.

Latin here.

Paraguayan socials are coping via conspiracy theory that the Paraguayan team was drugged prior to the match.

All focus moves to the Turks.

As a reminder, here are the FIFA tiebreakers:

Head-to-Head Record (Between the tied teams)

Points: Most points obtained in the matches between the tied teams.

Goal Difference: Superior goal difference in those specific head-to-head matches.

Goals Scored: Most goals scored in the matches involving only the tied teams.

Yawn. The UEFA team was a dud.
