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

[Live in the Now]

Game is at 11 PM Eastern in the Bay Area.

I shouldn't count my chickens but I think it's fair to say a loser here would be out. You can't really predict what happens in the immediate aftermath of two teams losing the way they lost, so I'm not going to make any prediction until right before the match. I'd laugh if neither team made changes but who knows.

 

[Power Man]

Idk why , but I don't trust this Turkish team

I think Paraguay might win it

 

[cgf]

I'm predicting that this ends up 4-3

 

[Moncherry]

You never know what you're going to get with Turkey. They could win or lose against anyone and it wouldn't be a surprise. The most erratic team in international football.

 

[Live in the Now]

I believe this is our first Europe vs. South American clash.

I have a feeling we're gonna see 90 minutes of 2 unbelievably scared teams against each other, but i'll happily be wrong

Yea maybe. But Turkey might as well get back on the bus now if that's gonna be the case....because their defense is too shit to try to win that way.

As the recording plays this tournament, I think the introduction to the Paraguayan national anthem is longer in duration than the part where they're actually singing the lyrics.

 

[Summer Rose]

In the second minute! Already! Wow!

 

[DaveG]

what a piss missile

 

[NyQuil]

Disaster tourney for Turkey so far.

 

[koyvoo]

That was quick

 

[Shocker]

Well, what the f***

 

[Osprey]

Anyone else feel like they missed the memo that the rest of the world got that Turkey is now "Turkiye"? Literally everyone, even local broadcasters, are saying it. Had to have been a memo.

 

[Shocker]

Insanely well placed shot though

 

[Summer Rose]

That was quick

It's been the official international name from apparently 2022.

The second time isn’t nearly as quick though.
