Turkey's national team faced harsh criticism from the international media after their unsuccessful performance at the World Cup 2026.
Idman.Biz reports that "The Athletic" has evaluated Turkey, which stopped competing in the group stage, as the weakest team in the tournament.
Vincent Montella's team lost to Australia 0-2 and then to Paraguay 0-1 in Group D. After these results, Turkey's chance to continue competing in the World Cup was eliminated.
The analysis of the publication emphasizes that the team, which includes players like Arda Guler, Kenan Yildiz, and Hakan Calhanoglu, did not meet expectations. The article notes that despite Turkey's 62 shots in two games, their inability to score is the main problem.
"The Athletic"'s assessment contains harsh statements about the national team's performance:
"There is no excuse for being this bad. According to the created expectations, they were the worst in the tournament".
Note that Turkey had high hopes for the World Cup 2026. However, the team was unable to earn points or score goals after two rounds.
