So when the Turkish national team is finished in the World Cup after two games, then an entire nation is “paralyzed”. Especially when the national team has recorded an embarrassing record.
0-2 loss against Australia and 0-1 loss against Paraguay. With this, Turkey is already out of the World Cup before the last group game. What makes it all even more painful for the Turks is that during 180 minutes, the players have hammered away at the opponents’ goal – without a single goal.
