Turkey and Paraguay had some awfully frustrating losses to begin their World Cup games. The Turkish side was countered to death by the Australians while their attack came up empty, losing 2-0. Paraguay was utterly dismantled by the US, going down 3-0 at halftime and losing 4-1. The loser of tonight’s game will be all but eliminated from the 2026 World Cup. The stakes speak for themselves.
