Youssef Chahine in Caméra Arabe (1987)

If you flew from Istanbul to Vancouver for this…well, I hope you at least enjoy the steam clock.

Watching this game gives me the impression that Montella knew as much about Australia’s players and tactical setup as I did. Only difference is I’m not being paid to coach against them at the World Cup.

@sohamncheese Qualifying used to be tough with few spots. The 02 success was a product of their 90s generation which was their best ever. They were very unlucky not to qualify in 06. As for that 3rd place run…it was a bizarre tournament where a lot of traditionally big teams underperformed.

@_sillyilly I looked up their WC history recently and its so funny they missed it for like 70 years except the 2002 one where they ended up 3rd??

Me falling for the Turkey dark horse gimmick at every fucking tournament

Australia had some nice young talent

Oh my days

Something is not clicking with this Turkish team’s offensive actions. Wrong setup? Wrong tactics? Wrong combination of players? Everything just feels slightly off.

I thought Yildiz wasn’t fit to play??

That deep Turkish red against the Aussie green and gold…sensational color combo. This is what international football is all about.

Irankunda scored? Hell yes, really happy for the kid.

Haiti have some ballers, they deserve more from this game

McTominay not been as impactful as I expected

@MorfsVandewalt Haiti? yeah i'm sniffing an upset

@_sillyilly Snuck in a rogue one there

Mexico 2-1 South Africa South Korea 2-1 Czechia

Moroccan midfield is world class, only real worry is if the guys in front of and behind them aren’t decisive enough

Momentum and intensity has been absolutely cooked this second half and I don’t know who to blame

Issa Diop’s moronic pass got Bono injured 💀

I would like to see Endrick at some point

The corpses of Fabinho and Danilo are Ancelotti’s answer? Lmaooo

@Lin_Ching_Hsia He has never been a tactical innovator either like some other all-time great managers which I really hold against him.

@filipefurtado Is there a viable explanation for why Brazil has struggled to produce strikers and fullbacks like they had in the past?

@_sillyilly Wesley, Vanderson and Militão are all hurt. Ibanez is like the 4th option.

Roger Ibañez at fullback gives me the ick man what the hell happened to Brazil
