Türkiye celebrates its long-awaited World Cup return by taking on a resilient Australia team in Vancouver on Saturday night.
It’s been 24 years since Türkiye performed on soccer’s grandest stage, and it needed the playoffs to book its place in North America this summer after finishing second to Spain in qualifying. Still, the talent at Vincenzo Montella‘s disposal in attacking areas cannot be underplayed, and the team boasts as good a chance as any to win a tight Group D.
