The crazy numbers behind Turkey’s exit 🤯

At daybreak, the entire Turkish people woke up with a hangover.

>Beaten by Paraguay by the smallest of margins (0-1), Turkey is already heading out of this 2026 World Cup after just two matches.

>An even more surprising fiasco given that Turkey was seen as the favorite in Group D, but one that is reflected in absolutely dreadful attacking numbers.

>Across these first two World Cup matches, the Turks simply attempted 62 shots without ever finding the net! Half of those shots, moreover, were taken from outside the penalty area.

>Even worse, if we go by Expected Goals, Turkey “should” have scored 3.5 goals. With none scored, it has the biggest differential of the 2026 World Cup.

>That miss by Deniz Gül right at the end of the match is unfortunately a concrete illustration of the Turkish forwards’ finishing problems.
