World Cup: Group D: Turkiye vs. Paraguay, 6/19/2026

[NyQuil]

Wow, so close!

Finally some stuff.

 

[Tasty Biscuits]

Is the broadcast in Spanish?

Yes.

Do I speak Spanish?

No.

Good for them, he apparently had a strong second half to the season in Denmark.

The only issue is that he’s listed as being 21 years old but we all know he’s closer to 31 years old.

 

[NyQuil]

Woke the crowd up too.

 

[Shocker]

Rare, ad break didn't ruin the game so far

 

[Sweetnut]

Wow, crossbar - post - out. Can't catch a break. Bizarre bazar.

Ugh that was the most annoying bull****, screw you for reminding me lol

Whoa, he's young enough to be Nail Yakupov's son!

 

[NyQuil]

Turkey pressing well now.

 

[NyQuil]

End to end action!

 

[NyQuil]

Great pace.

 

[koyvoo]

There is a kraftfält in the Paraguayan goal.

 

[NyQuil]

You have to appreciate how much these refs have to run around in the heat with the best football athletes in the world.

 

[Summer Rose]

Not sure who it was on the Paraguayan bench who just got booked.

 

[Shocker]

Wow, this game has been insanely good compared to my expectations

 

[Sweetnut]

At least that’s close to what Canadians call themselves, everybody else calls us some variant of German / aleman / Nemec

Krauts?

 

[Osprey]

Isn’t this common practice on all broadcasts? BuLi has been doing that for years

Of the three broadcasts that I've watched this World Cup on so far (FOX, BBC and TSN), TSN is the only one showing the jersey colors. At least I haven't noticed it on the other two.

At least in this match it's reasonably obvious which team is which, but knowing some of the kits so far at this tournament, I don't think I'd be entirely surprised if the Turkish team was actually the players in dark blue.

In the last match, Brazil was almost entirely in blue, even though blue is only a minor color in their flag, whereas it's half of the Haiti flag.

 

[NyQuil]

Idiot took way too much time.

Teammates must have been yelling man on but maybe too loud.

 

[Live in the Now]

This is turning into basketball

It's not even hot in Santa Clara right now.

We finns call you Saksa, because of the Saxons, lmao.

Does that mean that nothing other than the last 90 seconds is going to matter?

In the last match, Brazil was almost entirely in blue, even though blue is only a minor color in their flag, whereas it's literally half of the Haiti flag.

If you don't know any better about their national sporting colors, try watching a tournament where the participating teams are Australia, New Zealand, the Netherlands, and Italy.

I was thinking more of some of the other matches.

I think there was some warning about two matches in “extreme heat” so far from the union.

One in Mexico and one in Miami.

Two World Cup matches were played in ‘severe heat’, analysis finds

Games in Miami and Monterrey were at heat level a players’ union had warned in the past should trigger delays

Fair, it's been rather warm even by Florida standards in my part of the country for a few days now. Today or yesterday's high (I forgot which) was 38C.
