Turkey is eliminated from the World Cup after failing to score in two matches against Australia and Paraguay, both considered weak opponents in Group D. Despite their statistical dominance, including 62 shots and 100 touches in the opposition box, Turkey's attack was ineffective. This disappointing performance contrasts with the expectations set by a strong EURO 2024 showing and a promising qualifying campaign. Coach Vincenzo Montella may face scrutiny following this early exit. Turkey will play the United States in their final group match, though their advancement is no longer possible.
