Australia 1, Türkiye 3, Türkiye wins World Cup group match

sportsJun 14, 202650769

Türkiye beat Australia 3-1 in a World Cup group-stage match, scoring two late goals to overturn an earlier deficit. Australia opened the scoring but could not hold the lead as Türkiye produced the decisive comeback. The result reshuffles the group's outlook and raises pressure on both teams ahead of their next fixtures, especially Australia's upcoming match with the United States. Türkiye's late scoring punch and Australia's defensive lapses mean goal difference and momentum could determine who advances from the group.

I very much just shouted at the television. Australia has laid down a marker, and Türkiye has tripped at the first hurdle. Friday in Seattle was already set to be special. Now it’s going to be a thunderdome. #USMNT

People around me are all talking about waiting to see if prices for the Friday match come down at the last minute. I don’t think that’s going to happen now.

I am going to bed, gonna watch Türkiye-Australia in the morning, hopefully without knowing the result, as if the World Cup was happening in Europe. Sadly that means one of you needs to take up the mantle of any real-time Dennis Miller Gallipoli posting.

Türkiye's backline tougher to get through than the Strait of Dardanelles in 1915

Australia hasn’t seen a penalty like that since Tasmania was established as a penal colony during the Napoleonic wars

Türkiye with an xG per shot of 0.045. This is just really good low block defending from Australia.

Just a note for #WorldCup stuff in general. You know what I'm watching (besides glimpses of the games)? *The little kids* who come out at the match openings. Who may or may not know their national anthems, and mostly DON'T CARE, BECAUSE THEY'RE UTTERLY BUZZED. 🙂

Australia 2-0 Turkiye The pace and tenacity of the Australian counterattack against the #USMNT's fluid defensive setup is going to make for a fun battle. The Americans looked great yesterday. Friday in Seattle for a pivotal game. Can't wait to be there.
